Perth is Western Australia’s booming capital city. It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia, with approximately 2 million residents and growing. Due to its population size and status as the administrative centre for government and business, Perth is the driving force of the Western Australian economy.
Important economic sectors include mining and resources, healthcare, and manufacturing. The former continues to fuel job growth as a result of ongoing investments and international demand for commodities, generating opportunities in resource extraction, project management, and engineering.
Perth has also experienced substantial growth in its technology sector since the turn of the century, supported by a robust startup ecosystem and government aid. This has led to increased demand for tech talent, especially in disciplines like software development, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Technological advancements have also benefitted the manufacturing sector, fueling its resurgence.
Though Perth offers job seekers an increasing number of opportunities in emerging technologies and digital skills, employers face certain challenges in recruitment. One is finding candidates with the right combination of technical and soft skills, especially in sectors like mining and manufacturing. The competition for highly skilled professionals has also created a need for employers to develop competitive compensation packages to attract and retain talent.
Keller can assist companies in navigating these difficulties, taking the pressure off their in-house HR teams. We can ensure that they hire the right candidates the first time, saving them time and money in the long run.
Our Executive Recruitment Process
Keller’s mission is to locate the right candidates for our customers’ recruitment needs, contributing to the long-term success of their businesses. To ensure we continue to provide the most comprehensive, up-to-date services, we monitor all emerging trends, developments, and concerns in the recruitment industry. This is part of our commitment to continuous learning, which arose after we chose to revamp our recruitment approach in Keller’s early days.
Initially, we utilised a cookie-cutter method that did not cater to the unique needs of clients. Although this strategy was sufficient for generic jobs, we learned it was less suitable for staffing executive roles. This realisation came about after a major client hired us to source a professional for a senior position at their organisation.
Suffice it to say, we were ill-equipped to handle their request. The candidate we recommended was a poor match for their company culture, despite having all the necessary qualifications to excel in the role. The professional soon resigned, and we were left right back where we had started.
Following this incident, we took some time to reevaluate our modus operandi. We started offering a more holistic approach that was more accommodating of our clients’ requirements. After implementing these changes, we experienced a significant rise in our placement success rates for senior and C-suite roles.
We also saw an increase in our popularity among employers, bolstering our reputation as a leading recruitment agency and executive search firm in Perth and the rest of Australia. Today, we enjoy international recognition for our bespoke employment solutions, with offices across most of the world’s major cities.

Our Hiring Process
We begin the executive search process the same way for every client, i.e., with a consultation to establish the search parameters. The search parameters comprise a breakdown of the qualities clients seek in job applicants, as well as the position requirements and the nature of employment (for example, temporary or full-time).
Our executive search specialists use these insights to create a profile for the perfect candidate, which they use to inform their search. To accelerate the process, they leverage our advanced talent mapping systems and international network to pinpoint the most suitable individual for the job.
Once we have identified a pool of talent that meets the client’s criteria, we evaluate them to verify their compatibility. Our screening process encompasses personality assessments, skills-based interviews, and a thorough investigation of their career history and criminal record.
This culminates in a curated list of candidates that we present to our clients for final interviews.
