Navigating Vermont's Talent Landscape
Vermont, derived from French, is known as “The Green Mountain State”. It is a nature enthusiast’s paradise, with scenic mountains, rolling green pastures, and tree-lined lanes that have become symbols of rural North America. The abundance of outdoor recreational activities means tourism plays a large role in the state’s economy, employing thousands of Vermonters.
Not surprisingly, Vermont’s economy is mainly driven by the service sector; its collective activities have long been significant in terms of both value and employment. Agriculture accounts for only a small portion of the state’s workforce, while manufacturing plays a larger role alongside tourism.

Our Burlington office focuses on sourcing qualified executives and employees for organizations of all sizes, regardless of industry.

Keller has earned a reputation as one of the best Vermont recruiters and executive search firms due to our unique approach to hiring. While traditional transactional recruitment involves relying on databases and job postings to find candidates, we connect with all kinds of talented professionals, including those who aren’t actively seeking new jobs. This expands the pool of available talent and allows us to make contact with high-profile executives who do not answer advertisements or social media. We also have an extensive network of contacts within the recruiting industry that we can depend on for recommendations and referrals.
Our proactive method for sourcing top-tier talent, plus our commitment to providing a tailored approach to our clients, has helped us identify candidates for even the most challenging roles and established us as a world-class executive search firm.
At the start of each new assignment, our Vermont recruiters meet with our client’s business leaders and other key decision-makers to discuss the criteria for the ideal candidate. This includes the qualifications, skills, and character values they seek in applicants, which our team uses to guide the candidate selection process.
Our recruiters then leverage our extensive network and digital recruiting tools to search for talent across the variables we ascertained in the previous step. Every candidate who responds to our call is thoroughly vetted to ensure they meet the job requirements. This includes whether they would fit in with the culture of the company’s existing team and involves skill and personality assessments, reference checks, and resume reviews.
Once our screening procedure is complete, we are left with a curated list of promising candidates that we introduce to the client.
