Teams with the smartest people win.

Your company’s success relies on recruiting the best talent. But when recruiting out-of-town candidates, where your company is located can be just as important as the job being offered. At DestinationKC, we help companies fill the gap between selling your company and selling Kansas City.

We partner with you for your candidate’s recruitment journey. We take on the role of selling Kansas City to your potential hires through tours and connections to KC resources.  We are your one-stop resource to help your candidates fall in love with Kansas City.

Don’t lose your best talent to another city. We'll help you land the right people by improving your preferred candidates’ perceptions of Kansas City.

OUR SERVICES

Our programs are customized to your company and designed to make your job easier:

We offer both individual and group tours. Each tour is personalized with your candidate in mind. We’ll create a pre-visit email to your potential hire to help customize the tour to his/her interests.  Our tours are crafted to engage your candidates and get them excited about moving to Kansas City.

Programs CUstomized to your Candidates

We offer a range of programs tailored to the lifestyles and life stages of your talent recruitment candidates. 

MILLENNIALS

Destination KC has developed extensive programming showcasing the Kansas City lifestyle for early career hiring candidates and interns. Our tours showcase Kansas City as a best city for millennials in both the “practical” tests (affordability, unemployment rate, safety and public transportation) and “fun” tests (nightlife, cultural attributes, healthy lifestyles and diversity).  

We offer two programs targeted at this important audience:

Targeted at Early-Career Interview Candidates and Interns, this program focuses on individual and group tours for candidates coming in for an interview. We’ll reach out to your candidates before their visits to customize the tour to their interests.  Then, we’ll give them a taste of the lifestyle they can expect in KC.

Targeted at New Hires still completing their college degrees, this program provides an ongoing dialogue and multiple touch points with early career new hires to keep them educated, engaged and excited about your company.  

EXECUTIVES & Their FAMILIES

Buy-in from a spouse and family can be an integral part of a successful relocation for your new hire. So we've developed a program that helps new hires and their families feel good about their decision to choose your company and KC.  We'll provide tours and resources to connect the family with living in KC. 

INTERNATIONAL RECRUITS

Connecting with the community can be particularly challenging for candidates from outside of the US. Through our relationships with numerous international cultural groups in Kansas City, we provide candidates and their families the resources they need as they transition.

Targeted at New Hires and their families, DestinationKC provides customized tour services to International and MBA candidates or other C-level executives at the pre-hire or post-hiring stage.  We’ll sit down with your talent recruiting team to customize how we can assist with your candidate recruitment journey.
