Functions
The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is one of the highest positions in a company, second only to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in company affairs. The COO is responsible for overseeing daily business operations and ensuring that administrative and operational functions run smoothly.
As a leading executive search firm and valued member of NPAworldwide, Keller assists clients in sourcing, hiring, and retaining the best industry talents to fill open COO roles. Our team of highly skilled and experienced headhunters is committed to helping clients find leaders with the skills and mindset to thrive in the position and bring success to the company.
Our services extend beyond recruitment. We offer support throughout the recruitment process, from onboarding support to employee training and more. Keller’s expert recruiters can assist with all your staffing needs.
The COO plays a vital role in an organization’s daily operations because he monitors operational strategies and, more critically, ensures that operational activities are aligned with the organization’s strategic goals. The COO often reports to the CEO and collaborates with other executives to ensure that the company’s operations are both functional and productive.
They manage day-to-day business operations, improve procedures, and lead teams to reach organizational goals. COOs are also in charge of extending the company by implementing new policies and procedures and producing new products to boost efficiency, ensure quality assurance, and drive growth efforts. They substantially impact strategic planning and, in many cases, drive measures to promote innovation, cost reductions, and risk avoidance.
The COO monitors operations to ensure that the company stays ahead of the curve, adapting to changes in market and client needs. They are responsible for bridging the gap between the company’s vision and actual operational execution, ensuring that all departments are aligned to meet targets and affect performance.
A strong COO increases a firm’s operational efficiency, customer engagement, and operational capacity. They ensure the company’s plan is successfully executed and profitability and long-term success are prioritized.
At Keller, we aim to help clients improve their business operations and achieve their goals by filling their executive search needs. Our rigorous search process involves extensive background, criminal, and reference checks to find the best fit. Part of what makes our searches successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the search process. All candidates are assessed fairly and without biases concerning their age, belief, ethnicity, and gender.
Another part of our success in COO recruitment can be attributed to our experienced recruiters’ meticulous planning and attention to detail. First and foremost, we perform significant research to thoroughly understand your company’s operations, culture, and principles. As a result, this deep dive allows our recruiting pros to understand exactly what you need in your next hire, ensuring that all roles match your immediate needs and your long-term goals. We also look at present team talent and the gap between goals to see where extra resources may be needed.
Once this assessment is finished, we will begin sourcing from Keller’s global network of top-tier operations professionals, ensuring a broad pool of qualified candidates. We are dedicated to delivering an inclusive pool of talent.
Our recruiting strategy combines a broad professional network with cutting-edge applicant tracking technology to identify the best candidate and frequently the best candidate who is not actively looking for work. We use our strong industry ties to reach out to passive applicants, resulting in a larger pool of trained candidates to present.
Once selected, we thoroughly assess each individual. In addition to background checks, we also look into criminal records and run rigorous reference checks. We conduct psychometric exams to narrow our choices since we want people with specific skills that fit your company’s culture and values.
Our technique culminates in a carefully curated shortlist of the best-qualified people suited to your exact requirements and poised to achieve success for your company.
We work with clients in a wide range of industries and sectors to fill open Chief Operating Officer roles. Some of the industries we perform executive search in include:
