KRA Search | Who We Are

Bill Kinmonth leads a team of seasoned recruitment and HR professionals, who have joined up to form KRA Search bringing a fresh perspective to recruitment solutions. We are passionate about recruiting the best talent for our Clients.

As a Client you know that bringing a new person into your organization is both an opportunity and a risk. Recruiting the right person can transform your business more than any other action you can take. Get it wrong and your business will suffer. We have been hiring managers so have felt the delight when you get the right person and the pain when you do not.

Finding the person that is the right fit for your business is not just a business transaction for us. We want to see and hear your delight and the delight of our Candidate. That is where we get our buzz. Trusting us to help you make the right recruitment decision is something we cherish, and we will always work hard to earn and maintain your trust.

In our team we have a combined 50 years’ experience of candidate resourcing, search and selection and talent retention. You are in good hands to maximise the next hiring opportunity.

We pride ourselves on doing what we say we will do. No flannel, no vague promises, just straight talking and action.

Our success is built upon developing long term relationships with our clients and Candidates, where we have earned their trust. This comes through delivering results and always acting with integrity.

The business areas we focus on include leadership and professional appointments in a wide range of engineering disciplines, and management personnel involved with Infrastructure projects across the UK.

Bill Kinmonth

Bill has more than twenty-five years’ experience of working as a recruiter and has worked on retained and search & selection assignments in this time. He worked for a manufacturing company in the Thames Valley before deciding to change industry and for the next ten plus years worked in the Financial Services Industry. He was then approached to set up a financial services recruitment arm to complement the service offering of a general insurance/marine recruiter based in the City of London which led to building a whole division over the next few years.

5 years recruitment experience within the Financial Services Industry and then Pharmaceutical/ Life Science Industries.
4 years recruiting and operations manager within the Rail Engineering Industry.
17 years running a generalist recruitment company, mainly working in Engineering, Accountancy, Marketing, Manufacturing, Technology and Construction.

I believe in giving true good value service to the organisations I have worked for over many years. I will always want to understand the type of person, with what specific skills will fit the company before I speak with my candidates. To gather this information, I like to meet with my clients and gain a good understanding of their culture.

Personally, my passions are my family, my cycling and running and very importantly my voluntary work for the Samaritans where I have been a listening volunteer for over three years now.
