Applying for a new role can be a daunting process. Here are some of our candidates’ frequently asked questions to help put your mind at ease.
It is a good time to do some extra research when we invite you to speak to the Hiring Manager. You’ll talk about your experiences and what your skills can bring to the business.
Here are some tips that will help you prepare:
There’s a tailored onboarding program available for all associates, regardless of their background, role or level of experience.
Our Learning and Development (L&D) team will work with you and your manager to understand what is the best onboarding plan for you. The actual onboarding could be virtual training, on the job, in person and coaching sessions too.
Continued training is at the core of what we do and combined with ambitious career progression plans will give you the framework to succeed. Everyone at K2, regardless of department, can ask for additional training to build their skills and achieve their goals.
This is a topic often raised by candidates in interviews with K2!
Education and recruitment go hand in hand. People are always looking for new careers and companies are always looking for new top talent to join their team. In our industry, we often face the ‘IT skills gap’. This is when we will have nearly impossible requirements to fill – or impossible deadlines to meet our clients’ needs.
These situations are where K2 University steps in. We offer our clients the opportunity to upskill or train someone on that particular technology, offering career development. We pride ourselves on offering a consultative approach to our customers. This approach means that our Recruitment Consultants should be comfortable discussing a variety of workforce solutions that may include recruitment services and training solutions.
Innovation is at the heart of what K2 does. In 2015, we launched K2 Konnect as part of the ongoing digital transformation strategy of our business. Initially designed to create an efficient and streamlined contractor management system, K2 Konnect has developed into a market-leading talent engagement and recruitment platform.
Why does this matter to you? The world of work is changing fast. Both candidates and clients have multiple companies that they can choose to work with, but K2 Konnect is our unique offering to help us stand out. Our Sales Associates and Recruiters are able to leverage K2 Konnect and its multiple automation functions and search tools to help them be successful in their roles.
Our culture is about success, innovation and belonging. We want to give our team members the opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
If we could describe our culture with an analogy, we’d say it’s like a bag of mixed sweets (or candy, for those in America). Our people come from all walks of life. All of them are, in their own unique ways, resilient, determined, driven, self-motivated, and adaptable to change.
Our culture is a fundamental part of who we are and our CEO talks about it with a lot of pride.
Our FXP allows our best associates to transfer to a different K2 office. That office can be anywhere in the world! With 25 locations all over the globe, the possibilities for a once-in-a-lifetime experience are endless.
You can take part in the FXP once you’ve been with us for at least one year. You need to achieve all of your targets and have successful performance reviews. The door is then open for you to immerse yourself in a brand new culture!

We have a lot of flexibility and you can work from the comfort of your home, from the office, or a mix of both!
You also have the chance of working from other K2 offices around the world if you are ever in a city where we have an office.
We want you to have a work routine that works for you and that puts you in control of your agenda and your responsibilities, retaining the flexibility that was brought with the pandemic and combining that with opportunities for you to socialize with your colleagues.
Success happens quickly at K2! In 2021 we had 178 promotions (that is around 50% of our team).
It usually takes between six and twelve months for your first promotion. The majority of our associates get promoted once every calendar year until they have reached a more senior or management level. Some high achievers can get promoted even faster and more times in the year.
Our Career Navigations allow everyone to know what they need to do to be promoted and the criteria for success.
