kitalent.com
Link authority for kitalent.com (registrable domain: kitalent.com) from the Common Crawl web graph: PageRank and harmonic centrality history since 2017, current scores, and the site's top backlink sources.
Web-graph authority (0-100)
Domain scores measure kitalent.com as a whole: every subdomain's links rolled up into one node of Common Crawl's domain-level web graph. Host scores measure the exact hostname kitalent.com. WWW scores cover the www variant of that hostname, which the graph tracks as its own entry since January 2026 (before that, www and bare host were merged). A big gap between domain and host usually means the domain's authority lives on other subdomains. PageRank is link-endorsement authority: how much weight the sites linking here carry themselves. Harmonic centrality measures reach: how close this site sits to the rest of the web when following links, which favors broadly connected sites over ones boosted by a few heavy linkers. All are normalized 0 to 100 within each crawl snapshot; a dash means that series does not exist for this site.

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://kitalent.com/#faq","inLanguage":"en","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What roles does KiTalent typically fill?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The center of our practice is senior management and specialist leadership: country managers, heads of function, department directors, senior technical leads, risk and investment leaders. We also run selected C-suite, board, succession and confidential mandates for clients where we already understand the context."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How is KiTalent different from a standard recruitment agency?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We start with continuous market mapping and direct headhunting, not applicant flow. The process is built for passive senior candidates, with technical and leadership assessment, weekly visibility and shortlist evidence. The difference is most visible when the role is technical, culture-critical, cross-border, or has already failed through standard channels."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How is KiTalent different from a large retained search firm?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Large retained firms are strongest at board and C-suite advisory work. We are built around the senior-management and specialist mandates that international companies need filled repeatedly across markets, sectors and functions, with executive-search discipline, retained search and Talent Mapping First alongside Proof-First Search."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you only work on the Proof-First model?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Proof-First Search is one buying route. We also run retained searches for confidential, mission-critical, executive, board, succession and ongoing leadership programs, and talent mapping when the role is not ready to launch."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Proof-First Search?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Proof-First Search is our risk-reversed engagement model. No upfront retainer, a validated shortlist delivered in 7 to 10 working days, an interview fee only when the shortlist is strong enough to validate, and a placement fee on hire. It is designed for new partnerships and time-sensitive mandates where the client wants to see evidence of the work before any major commercial commitment. Full details on the Proof-First page."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is retained search?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Standard retained executive search with milestone fees, off-limits protection and a dedicated search team. We use this model for confidential, mission-critical, C-suite, board and succession mandates where exclusivity, deeper advisory involvement and process discipline matter most. The operational standard is the same as Proof-First: continuous market mapping, direct headhunting, structured assessment and weekly visibility."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How quickly can you deliver candidates?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most senior-management mandates receive a validated shortlist within 7 to 10 working days, because we map markets continuously rather than reactively. Confidential, niche or board-level searches may require a longer mapping and assessment sequence."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you assess culture fit?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. We treat culture fit as a structured calibration of leadership style, decision rights, stakeholder context, team maturity and operating environment, not as personality matching. The work happens before outreach, not after the shortlist."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where do you operate?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Cross-border is the default rather than the exception. Most mandates involve at least one international element, and our hubs in Turin, Nicosia, Almaty and New York allow each search to run in-market."}}]}Authority over time
Every Common Crawl web-graph release since 2017, roughly quarterly. The domain series goes back to 2017; Common Crawl only began publishing the host-level graph in 2020, so host lines start there. Click a legend entry to show or hide that line. Flat lines are normal for established sites; watch for sustained rises or drops, which track real gains or losses in who links here.
A note on www: through the end of 2025 the source web graph merged www and non-www hostnames into the bare name, so one host line covers both. Starting in January 2026 the graph splits them into separate entries, which is why www can carry its own scores going forward.
Backlink counts
Unique linking domains seen in Common Crawl's link graphs. This is a different dataset than the 0-100 authority scores above: these are raw counts, host-level for kitalent.com and domain-level for kitalent.com with all its subdomains combined. Common Crawl covers a large sample of the web, not all of it, so treat counts as comparable between sites rather than absolute totals.
Top backlinks in the domain graph
Common Crawl publishes two link graphs. The DOMAIN graph connects whole domains: every link from any page of one domain to any page of another. This table shows the highest-authority domains linking to kitalent.com (including its subdomains), ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 108; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
Top backlinks in the host graph
The HOST graph connects exact hostnames, so subdomains count separately. This table shows the highest-authority hosts linking to kitalent.com specifically, ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 108; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
