Kanerika Inc Reviews & Testimonials
Nathaniel Ru Co-Founder at Sweetgreen
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from Nathaniel Ru
We partnered with Kanerika to support our Big Data Analytics initiatives and augment our internal data engineering team. As our data needs continued to grow, we needed experienced professionals who could quickly integrate with our team and help us improve data processing, reporting, and analytics capabilities. Our experience with Kanerika was very positive from start to finish. Their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our requirements, listened carefully to feedback, and adapted quickly whenever priorities changed. The engineers they provided integrated smoothly with our existing team and consistently delivered quality work. One thing that stood out was their responsiveness. Whenever we had questions, requests, or needed adjustments, their team reacted quickly and ensured issues were addressed without unnecessary delays. Communication remained clear throughout the engagement, which made collaboration straightforward and efficient. The project outcomes met our expectations, and the additional expertise helped us move faster on several data-related initiatives. Overall, Kanerika proved to be a reliable partner for both Big Data Analytics and Staff Augmentation, and we would be happy to work with them again in the future.
Steven Poelman Co-CEO at Multi Corporation

Big Data Analytics Review from Steven Poelman
Kanerika made a team for us to discuss the details and develop Power BI project. 3 personal dashboards were also planned and designed. Firstly the architecture of the system was created and implemented. The dashboards for heads of departments were developed and tested by the reconciliation dashboard too. Finally we got the staff training for interactive analytics dashboards usage. Power BI system has highlighted the efficiency of our working process. After tracking the efficiency we rose the sales for 20%, offer more client oriented service, and have budget prediction. Professional team service for great cost. Kanerika showcased awesome automation of business analysis and regularly updated reports.
David Abelyan Founder at Cake Mortgage Corp
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from David Abelyan
The Kanerika team helped us create online meeting capabilities to meet with candidates online, view video profiles and message. All these online features are great for our application but what makes our solution unique is that all these are tied to the candidate profile, hiring position organizational needs and overall organizational profile. This creates a strong bond and trust between the organization and the candidate.We wanted a platform to build long term relationships between organizations and their immediate and future needs and candidates who may want to explore opportunities now or build a relationship for a future opportunity. Kanerika worked with our team to understand our changing requirements and delivered technical solutions incrementally using an agile approach. Organizations can store and update their profiles, job requirements and track each hiring process.Their philosophy of investing in clients and view of client success as their own was unique. Everyone uses the long term relationship as a tagline but Kanerika actually lived up to it.

Mobile App Development Review from Domenic Fraboni
We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with TouchZen. They took over a bad situation left behind by our previous development team and have been able to continue to build new features while cleaning up the old project. We have been very pleased with their developers responsiveness as well as the project management. I would highly recommend working with them for any of your web or mobile app development needs.

Mobile App Development Review from Dr Asa Frey
They worked on our app and continue to work on it to this day. We originally had a bad experience with various developers and ended up with a bunch of code and no functioning app - touchzen took the code and audited it and made it work and it work great now. Can't complain - still going to work with them and I would recommend to anyone who wants it done right.

Creative Services Review from Michelle Lang
James and his team at Mission Control are exceptional and not the norm when it comes to creative agencies. They take time to understand your needs, meet your deadlines and are always available to you, no matter the time zone. I worked with them in my last company and have made sure to continue with them in my new position as they are superior to any company I've worked with in the past (and I've worked with many). Communication, creativity and quality work from Mission Control is outstanding!

Ricardo Gómez's Review Sourced from Google
Excellent service and great disposition. Alonso is an excellent, helpful, and attentive person. I really like his work because he knows how to be very professional. We've been working with him for a couple of years now, both for that reason and because he's very good at what he does. His drone shots are excellent, plus they are very clean, subtle, and elegant, which denotes the good eye for detail in his work. Highly recommending it, you won't regret it! Thank you so much, Alonso, for all your support :D

Working with Tom and JAXONLABS has been incredibly valuable. Tom has helped us think more clearly about our brand strategy, how we position the business, and how our story shows up across our marketing.What I’ve appreciated most is that his work combines strategy, coaching, and practical execution. He has helped our team think more clearly, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions across messaging, content, campaigns, website direction, customer experience, and long-term growth planning.

Alex Rupprecht's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Fabric Staffing during my most recent job search, specifically with Tom who was amazing! With their help, I was able to land a good software engineering role.I sometimes get a little bit of interview anxiety. Tom was great and was able to help coach me with some practice sessions, and it really helped with my confidence in the actual interviews. I got the clear impression that they wanted to place me somewhere that would be a good fit.I'll definitely work with Fabric Staffing again in the future!

Kyle Y's Review Sourced from Google
I was let go from my senior software engineer position in April of 2022. Fortunately, the job market was hot at the time, and I was practically swarmed by recruiters on Linkedin. However, Marissa from Fabric Staffing was easily the best recruiter collaboration I experienced during my hunt.She recognized my specific skill set and gathered my interests and salary requirements. She then matched me with two companies that fit my profile very well -- one in a similar industry that I was already working in, and one that was a fascinating opportunity that I could adapt to. She was always down-to-earth but bright and understanding during the process, where many other recruiters were robotic or were coming off as super insincere. I felt like I could be direct with her and she'd be pragmatic and honest. She was able to ease any anxiety I had about being let go before interviewing, and I ultimately selected one of the two positions she approached me with. I've been happy with my placement since then.I definitely recommend using recruiters like Marissa if you'd like to fill your open positions with carefully selected people that are suited to your company's culture. And as a candidate, I'd definitely be happy to work with Marissa and Fabric Staffing again.

Creative staffing agencies source and place talent across design, marketing, content, and digitalroles. Their core focus includes recruiting graphic designers, copywriters, artdirectors, UX/UI designers,web developers, content strategists, videographers, and social media specialists.
They also handle freelance, contract, and full-time placements, ensuring companies get the right talent for short-term projects or long-term creative needs. Many agencies offer portfolio vetting, skillassessments, and projectmatching to help businesses quickly access qualified creative professionals who fit their brand and workflow.
What is the process for working with a graphic design staffing agency?
Working with a graphic design staffing agency happens in several strategic stages to ensure a seamless and time-efficient collaboration.
Here’s a breakdown of the steps you will take before you begin your partnership:
The agency sets up the initial consultation to define project needs, required skills, timeline, and budget
The creative staffing agency reviews requirements and selects candidates from its vetted talent pool
The firm arranges interviews, portfolio reviews, or test assignments for fit and evaluation
You select the designer while the agency manages contracts and onboarding
The creative staffing company provides ongoing support and check-ins to ensure the placement meets expectations throughout the engagement
What factors affect creative staffing agency pricing?
Creative staffing agency pricing depends on several key factors:
Role complexity and skill level: Highly specialized roles like UX designers or motion graphics artists cost more than general graphic designers
Experience: Senior or niche talent requires higher hourly or project rates
Engagementtype: Freelance, contract-to-hire, and full-time placements each have different fee structures
Projectdurationand workload: Longer or more intensive projects increase total costs
Turnaroundspeed: Quick placements or last-minute staffing needs come with premium fees
Agencyreputationand talentpoolquality: Agencies with stronger networks or pre-vetted specialists may charge higher rates for reliability and expertise
How can I verify the credentials or portfolios of creative talent?
You can verify the credentials or portfolios of creative talent through several reliable steps:
Review their portfolio for quality, consistency, and relevance to your industry or project needs
Check client testimonials or references on platforms like DesignRush to confirm past performance and reliability
Verify work history on platforms like LinkedIn or professional websites to ensure experience aligns with claims
Assess technical skills through test assignments, design challenges, or certifications where applicable
Ask the staffing agency for background checks, skill assessments, or previous project evaluations to validate their expertise
What happens if I'm not satisfied with graphic design staffing services?
If you’re not satisfied with graphic design staffing services, most agencies offer replacement guarantees, allowing you to request a new designer at no additional cost within a set period. They may also provide performance reviews or mediation to address issues and realign expectations.
Reputable agencies maintain flexible contracts, so you can adjust the engagement, switch talent, or end the assignment if necessary. Clear communication and early feedback help resolve most concerns quickly and ensure the project stays on track.
