Kenoobi Reserve Talent Network

The Kenoobi Reserve Talent Network is a talent community of independent professionals who apply their experience to project-based work with Kenoobi. It is also an effort to leverage the tremendous skill of our alumni and offer opportunities to bring them back to Kenoobi on flexible, project-based work.

Professionals in the Kenoobi Reserve Talent Network have the flexibility to continue to build their own careers by selecting opportunities at Kenoobi that match their interests and availability.  KRTN offers access to dynamic and challenging work in a collaborative environment.

Can I be considered for a traditional role through Kenoobi Reserve Talent Network?

Kenoobi Reserve Talent Network is not designed to be an avenue to full-time employment.  We are aiming to build a pool of independent professionals who want to engage with Kenoobi on a project-by-project basis. 

If you are interested in a full-time employment opportunity, or end up becoming interested in full-time employment while participating in KRTN, please email: careers(at)kenoobi,com

THE “WHY”

Why would someone choose to engage with Kenoobi as a Reserve rather than as a traditional employee?

KRTN is a great option for talented professionals not interested in full-time employment opportunities but still seeking challenging work with a leading professional services organization.

Maybe you have your own business and work for multiple clients.  Maybe you prefer to only work certain times of the year.  Maybe you are retired but want to keep a foot in the working world.  Maybe you need to work from home, on your own time, and can’t be tied to an office for set hours each day. 

Whatever your reason, KRTN is for you if you want to make a professional impact in a more flexible environment, without being an employee.
