Colorado provides an attractive tax structure, access to a highly educated and talented workforce, and an entrepreneurial culture that encourages innovation and growth. Some of the main industries contributing to Colorado’s economy include Food and Agriculture, Energy, Aerospace and Defense, Manufacturing, and Transportation.
The state offers a wide range of resources and incentives to assist businesses with their growth and development, including grants, loans, and tax credits. In recent years, Colorado has become a hub for technology, healthcare, and other professional industries due to its business-friendly climate. The state is home to numerous venture capital firms and tech incubators that make Colorado an ideal place for startups and organizations to thrive. With its low unemployment rate, great quality of life, and excellent educational opportunities, Colorado is also an attractive place to live for many talented job seekers.
However, Colorado is home to one of the most competitive job markets in the U.S. This can make it difficult for organizations to connect with the right candidates for their needs, and vice versa. That’s where we can help.
Keller is an executive search firm specializing in helping client companies in Colorado find qualified candidates for their leadership roles.
Our boutique recruiting firm is known for its customized solutions, extensive network of talent, and the vast industry expertise of our recruiters – all of which helped us gain an enduring reputation for high-quality, reliable recruitment offerings.
As a top staffing agency in Colorado, it is our mission to help our clients find the best talent for their open positions, as well as to assist them in any of their recruiting needs. We aim to find and provide skilled talent with the skills and experience needed to lead their organizations to greater heights. At Keller, we employ a passionate team of executive recruitment experts. Each member of our team is highly experienced, with extensive academic and professional qualifications.
Our team is committed to continuous learning, and we aim to stay abreast of the latest market trends, challenges, and developments. We also make it part of our mission to stay updated on the latest tech advancements in the recruitment industry, in order to provide our clientele with the very best service possible. Being a proud member of NPAworldwide gives us the nationwide reach needed to connect clients in Colorado with the right candidates for their requirements.

At Keller, we customize our recruitment strategy according to client needs, as opposed to using traditional methods. This ensures that each of our partners receives the excellent recruiting services Keller has become known for, and that the qualified candidates we provide are poised to fulfill their requirements exactly. Over the years, this tailored approach has been shaped and refined based on the first-hand experiences of our team members. But there is one experience, still vividly remembered by our recruiters, that was especially pivotal for our firm.
Keller did not always make use of a tailored recruitment strategy. During our first few years operating as an executive search agency, we made use of a generic, industry-standard approach to recruitment. At the time, this generic method yielded satisfactory results for the limited number of clients we had.
However, as our agency grew, so did our client base. Soon we were hired by a large company to assist them in finding senior-level talent to fill an executive role. We were confident in our standardized search approach and implemented it again for this project, expecting the same satisfactory results we had gotten before.
Unfortunately, we experienced first-hand a common result of using an unyielding recruitment method. The candidate we placed had the necessary qualifications for the position, but did not align with the company’s culture and our client struggled to integrate them successfully into their existing management team. It caused friction and the placement failed as a result.
This experience was challenging, but we credit it with teaching us valuable lessons about the staffing industry and our search process. We finally recognized the many limitations of sticking to a cookie-cutter search method. The experience also taught us the value of instead offering recruiting solutions tailored to the unique requirements of each client we served.
Armed with these vital lessons, we changed our strategy to instead provide client-forward solutions. This customized method has helped us build a long, successful track record for placing top-notch candidates and C-level executives. It has also significantly influenced the executive search industry, with more and more agencies shifting to customizable solutions. We have also aided in an improved global understanding of recruitment, and the name “Keller” has become synonymous with high-quality, reliable recruitment efforts.
As one of the top recruiting firms in Denver, Colorado Springs, and the rest of the state, our services extend beyond human capital solutions. We also provide expert guidance and consulting to ensure hires are successful. Our offerings include strategies to improve employee retention, support long after the search process has concluded, onboarding assistance, coaching of employees, leadership development, compensation consulting, and succession planning.
Before we begin our search, we first have a meeting with the client and their management team. The purpose of this meeting is to learn everything there is to know about our client and their organization, including their company culture, their requirements for prospective employees, and the type of employment offered for this position. This provides us with valuable insights needed to establish the search parameters and ensure we provide our client with the right executive for their organization.
With the search parameters in place, we can start locating talented executives who meet the requirements. We are capable of searching locally and internationally thanks to our vast database of skilled job seekers and executive professionals.
Once our expert recruiters identify potential candidates, we screen each thoroughly. This screening allows us to determine each executive’s compatibility with the role and our client’s needs. We evaluate their experience, qualifications, skills, and work ethic. Each candidate also undergoes advanced personality tests to ensure they are a good cultural fit, and we perform thorough background checks to verify that their references are authentic and ensure there are no criminal records.
The candidates who pass our rigorous screening are compiled into a shortlist. We provide our client with this list, from which they can select candidates for final interviewing and hiring.

“We were skeptical about using an external recruiter at first, but Keller has exceeded all our expectations. Instead of recruiting the first person they found, Keller’s team did not settle until they found a list of people they knew we would be happy with. We hired a new manager from their suggestions, and we could not be happier.”
- Wyatt R., Head of Business Development
“For many years now, Keller has been our first call whenever we need a new executive for our department. They make the process very easy and handle the brunt of the work. Working with Keller has truly changed our outlook on hiring talent for our business, and it has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Keller.”
- Lilith K., HR Director
There are many benefits associated with using an external executive recruitment agency instead of an internal HR department for your staffing needs. Internal departments often do not have the time and resources to spare for such an intensive process, and making use of an agency like Keller allows them to continue with other important tasks. Furthermore, our recruiters have many years of experience in the field, which allows us to headhunt efficiently and place candidates successfully. Working with an agency like Keller also allows you access to a much broader network of candidates, increasing the chance of successfully finding the right professional for your requirements.
There are several avenues that executives can use to engage with recruiters. One approach is to meet headhunters in person at networking events like conferences. You can also request introductions from your professional contacts or experts in your industry. Platforms like LinkedIn are also excellent resources, as recruiters often find promising talent outside of their network by browsing these sites. For this reason, it is best to ensure that your profile is updated consistently with your most recent accomplishments.
