The current process employed by search firms worldwide is largely the same one that has been used since 1956! Kingsley Gate Partners is transforming executive search with the introduction of Synchronous Fit. This framework focuses on improving the Accuracy, Velocity, Transparency, and Accountability of our executive searches.
A unique framework architected from the ground up using cloud-based,
mobile-first technologies to ensure a lasting fit between our clients and placed candidates.
Synchronous Fit Profile
FIT Assessment
FIT Quotient
We believe that it is unwise to measure the hand (the candidate) before measuring the glove (the client).
The first step of Synchronous Fit is the development of the Synchronous Fit Profile Agreement.

A synergistic set of methodologies that measure both the credentials and the compatibility of the candidates
against the Synchronous Fit Profile.
Using the Synchronous
Fit Profile, we identify
potential candidates that
meet your target criteria.
Our Recruiting team conducts an

assisted by our technology
platform that guides them
through the SFP and rates
candidates on the desired Skills
- feedback provided to the KGP
partner.

The Fit Quotient (FQ) helps the client in stack ranking the candidates from a holistic point of view as opposed to
being swayed by either a strong resume or a dynamic personality. A high FQ results in a lasting successful fit.

WE STAND FOR
Ownership
Each one of our partners is an equity owner. As a result, we think like owners. Decisions are made for the greater good of the firm, not for a single individual. All of us work together to build value. Value that is provided to every client on every search.
Innovation
We invest heavily in data science technology R&D as we continuously strive to be the search firm that transforms the industry. Our goals are lofty, and we are excited by our vision.
Collaboration
The foundation of the Synchronous Fit framework is designed to optimize collaboration and alignment at every step of the process. This, in addition to our single global P&L, ensures that the right team is put in place to execute your search with accuracy and velocity.
Continuous Learning
At the core of Kingsley Gate Partners is learning and development. We believe that healthy growth means having a continuous learning culture. Kingsley Gate University (KGU) was designed to offer our firm members the opportunity to acquire new skills and perspectives, creating a workplace that is responsive to an ever-changing world and to better serve our clients’ needs. There are courses for every firm member in KGU that offer advancement through our Path 2 Partner program.
Diversity & Inclusion
We lead by example. Starting with the Office of the CEO. Our firm is built on diversity–this is not a slogan for us. It is who we are. We consciously focus on inclusion as an integral part of the Synchronous Fit process. We maintain records of diversity placements and use this metric during operating reviews to constantly improve our outcomes.
