Ken Sundheim

I am the CEO and Founder of a marketing and sales recruiting firm by the name of KAS Placement (Forbes America’s Most Promising Companies Finalist, Huffington Post, WSJ). Clients have included Anheuser Busch, Travelocity, Lindt Chocolate, Double Click (Google) and many others.

I started the sales recruitment company after graduating college from a studio apartment in New York City. I got the idea when visiting a girlfriend who was interning at a PR agency that shared office space with a staffing firm.

After visiting her, I got a 30 page book on how to start a recruiting firm at Barnes and Noble and within 6 hours I was able to cold-call into and bring on Institutional Investor as a client.

Prior to age 30, I was asked to speak at NYU, Syracuse, New York Institute of Technology, Salisbury University, Baruch College and many others on the topic of recruitment and HR.

Since starting the company in late 2005, our firm has serviced 1,000’s of job seekers and 100 of companies. Hiring organizations our sales recruiters work with vary from start-up companies to Fortune 500.

Publications and Interviews

As of 2014, I have been published over 700x on the topics of entrepreneurship, recruitment, HR, interviewing, sales and marketing.

Notables include: Forbes, Chicago Tribune, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Yahoo!, New York Examiner, UpStart Business Journal, About.com, AMEX Small Business Forum, Recruiter.com, Monster, Career Builder, Simply Hired and many others.

Representing myself as an entrepreneur and KAS Placement’s marketing and sales recruiter services, I’ve been interviewed on Fox Business, MTV and others.

Also, I’ve been featured in CBS Money Watch, Oprah’s Magazine “O”, MTV and others. This has all been accomplished without the assistance of a PR agency.
