Pairing Employers with Exceptional Leaders

Our Executive Recruitment Process

Keller’s hiring method wasn’t always the same. At the company’s inception, we utilized a standard approach that did not account for our clients’ specific recruitment needs or organizational culture.

Initially, we believed this method was adequate, but its shortfalls became clear during an executive-level search for a major client. It was then we realized the importance of cultural fit for securing the right candidates for the right jobs, as opposed to basing our entire search on candidates’ technical expertise alone.

Following the failed executive placement, we adjusted our recruitment process to accommodate our customers’ unique organizational values. After making this change, our number of successful placements increased, bolstering our name as a premier executive search and recruitment agency.

To ensure we maintain our track record and reputation for exceptional placements, we are committed to continuous growth and keeping abreast of the latest developments, findings, and concerns in the industry.

Our Services

Keller crafts tailored employment solutions to give our customers access to the best candidates in their respective fields, allowing their businesses to reach new levels of success.

To do this, our consultants work closely with our clients’ HR teams to learn about their hiring practices and what sets them apart from competitors.

Over and above recruitment, we support businesses across a variety of scenarios, such as mergers and acquisitions, leadership transitions, and other organizational changes.

Our Hiring Process

We begin every new search with a meeting between our consultants and the important decision-makers at our client’s firm to understand their candidate preferences. This includes outlining both the technical qualifications and interpersonal skills they seek in job applicants. During this session, we also clarify the employment type (for example, temporary or full-time) and obtain details about the duties and potential hurdles associated with the position.

We then tap into our extensive professional network and NPAworldwide partnership to pinpoint candidates who satisfy our client’s criteria. Enhancing our search are our sophisticated recruitment software and applicant tracking systems, which help streamline the process.

After identifying the best talent for our client’s needs, we begin our thorough vetting process. This entails evaluating every candidate’s cultural fit with our client’s organization in addition to their technical abilities. We conduct psychometric assessments, competency-based interviews, and extensive background checks covering employment history, professional references, and criminal records.

This process yields a select group of highly qualified candidates who align with our client’s needs in every way. We then leave the decision of who to hire with our client’s hiring manager.
