Keller is one of the leading executive search firms in Bangkok, Thailand. We help organizations engage the right talent the first time, taking the pressure off their internal HR teams. Our recruiters are highly skilled professionals with an in-depth understanding of local market dynamics, and our extensive network allows us to deliver professionals who will add value to their firms in the long run.
In addition to locating top candidates who align perfectly with our clients’ hiring needs and company culture, we offer several HR consulting services. These include helping clients develop suitable employee benefits packages, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), and leadership training and development.
Bangkok is Thailand’s capital city. As the country’s financial hub, it boasts a diverse, dynamic economy that contributes significantly to the nation’s overall economic growth. Key industries in Bangkok include retail, tourism, financial services, real estate, and manufacturing.
While financial services is the most prominent due to the city’s status as Thailand’s financial center, the traditional manufacturing sector remains an important component of the economy. Many of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers have established branches in Bangkok, leveraging the city’s skilled workforce and infrastructure.
Tourism also thrives in Bangkok, with the city consistently ranking among the world’s most visited destinations. Retail is another crucial sector, with numerous shopping centers and markets catering to tourists and locals alike. As the city’s population expands, the construction and real estate sectors will also experience growth.
Regarding the job market, Bangkok offers employment opportunities across diverse industries, from senior roles in finance and IT to positions in hospitality and services. However, despite the overall positive outlook, the city’s employers are facing several recruitment challenges.
For example, there is a shortage of skilled workers in high-demand fields such as finance and technology. This shortage has led to more intense competition for top talent among employers. Developing a strategy for attracting local and international professionals will make forward-thinking organizations forerunners in economic growth in Thailand.
Keller has a deep understanding of the Thai market and is ideally positioned to assist businesses with procuring the right candidates for their teams.
Keller’s recruitment approach has come a long way since our inception. At first, we employed a methodology similar to that of other recruitment agencies involved in staffing generic roles. However, we quickly realized this strategy would not suffice for recruiting executive talent.
This realization came when we were tasked with securing a candidate for a senior-level role for a prominent client. While we managed to identify someone with the appropriate technical skills and academic qualifications for the job, the individual was ultimately the wrong fit for the client’s corporate culture. In other words, the placement was a failure.
Of course, this was not our intended outcome for the client. Nonetheless, we decided to use the opportunity to reevaluate our recruitment strategy and implement a more holistic, customer-oriented approach. In doing so, we hoped to achieve higher success rates in placing candidates in specialized and niche roles.
This shift worked in our favor as we were soon being recognized for our ability to secure top-tier talent at the executive level. This positively impacted our ranking among other recruitment companies and helped us rise to the position we enjoy now as one of the top Bangkok executive search firms.
To ensure we continue to deliver outstanding services, we are committed to continuous learning and monitoring current and emerging industry trends.
Keller is adept at connecting employers with exceptional candidates who have what it takes to drive their companies to new heights. We achieve this through our tailored approach that requires us to collaborate closely with our clients’ human resources departments.
While our main focus is securing suitable candidates for clients, Keller also offers a broad range of business support services. These include succession planning, compensation consulting, and leadership coaching. A full breakdown of all the services we offer can be found on our website.
Despite tailoring our executive recruitment services to align with each client’s requirements, our modus operandi for every assignment remains the same from beginning to end. In other words, the steps in our executive search process do not change. We go into more detail about this below.
At the start of each new project, we arrange a meeting with the client, their leadership team, and other important stakeholders to identify the traits they would like to see in potential candidates. This includes the technical and interpersonal skills applicants ought to have. At the same time, we gather more details about the role itself. For example, whether it is a permanent or temporary opportunity, the potential challenges associated with the position, and the daily tasks the new hire will be expected to perform.
After gathering these valuable insights, our dedicated team of consultants taps into our global network to locate the perfect candidate. Our cutting-edge applicant-tracking software helps accelerate the search process by allowing us to filter candidates according to the client’s needs.
The professionals we encounter who demonstrate an aptitude for the client’s requirements proceed to the next stage in our hiring process, which involves screening and assessment. This is no mere resume review – we conduct in-depth psychometric analyses and competency-based interviews, as well as extensive professional reference and criminal record checks.
Candidates who meet or exceed our assessment criteria are compiled into a shortlist for our client to review. From here, the client may conduct their own set of interviews and assessments before reaching a decision on who to hire.
