Our team goes above and beyond for each client, adjusting our search and recruitment methods to meet their unique staffing needs. We understand that no two companies are alike, and a one-size-fits-all approach fails to identify candidates who align with a company’s vision.

Keller’s recruiters are available throughout the hiring process, offering guidance and addressing concerns. Our commitment to professionalism and support extends beyond our formal engagement, ensuring that clients and candidates are satisfied. This dedication to excellence has earned us international recognition and solidified our reputation as leaders in executive recruitment.

Our Services

At Keller, we don’t only focus on filling positions. We aim to source the best candidates who align with the company’s organizational culture and usher in innovation and business growth. Our executive search agency specializes in tailored staffing services, including leadership training, succession planning, and staff coaching.

All the services we provide are designed to help give businesses a competitive edge and attract top talent.

Our Process

We start by learning about your business’s fundamentals. Then, we evaluate your firm’s goals, values, and organizational culture to find the right candidate.

Our next step involves meeting with team leaders, the human resources department, and any other relevant parties in our client’s organization to discuss the specifics of the open position. We search for potential issues with the role in addition to the qualifications and experience required for it. This indicates that we are ready to pair you with the most qualified individual for your team.

This is a targeted approach to job posting, enabling us to contact the most qualified candidates—including those who aren’t actively seeking employment. Every candidate is carefully considered and screened to guarantee that we only present you with the best applicant who satisfies the job requirements, organizational culture, work attitude, management style, and personal values. Additionally, this method ensures that the final list contains only qualified candidates.

A Tailored Recruitment Approach

San Diego Tailored Approach

When Keller first started, our leadership search and recruitment process was extremely formulaic. We were confident this method would work for any placement because it had previously proven effective. However, each of our recruiters can recall a recruiting decision we made for a client seeking a senior leadership position that proved to be a game-changer for our organization and our recruitment process.

Like all the others, we went into this placement with no expectation that we would be unable to find a good fit for the client. Our recommended candidate did not fit the client’s work culture or vision, resulting in friction with management and a lack of performance from the candidate.

This setback revealed shortcomings in our hiring process and highlighted the benefits of a personalized strategy. Since then, we have invested in honing and improving our operation, resulting in more successful placements than we could have predicted using our previous strategy.

Keller is currently recognized as a global industry leader, securing professionals who meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.
