Pros
The people who used to work at Kinetic Search were all friendly, hard-working, capable adults. They had very good relations within the Bay Area tech and design community and were very skilled at pairing candidates to available positions. Unfortunately that is all over now.
Cons
The new owners have taken over and attempted to micro-manage every aspect of the business, despite a thorough lack of understanding of the recruitment industry as a whole or of the specific tech and design realm in which they were trying to remain relevant. Instead of allowing the people who knew the business to continue working and making money for them, the owners opted to fire the entire staff en masse and hire sycophants who likewise know nothing about tech recruitment.
