One of the Top Executive Search Firms Helping Companies in Ohio Find Candidates for Their Executive Leadership Teams
Keller is widely recognized as a leading headhunting and executive search firm serving clients across Ohio, including the state capital city of Columbus.
Our executive recruiters have access to a vast network of contacts that enable us to find high-quality candidates, including prospects who are not readily available through traditional recruitment channels.
During the search for the right candidate, we work closely with each client to determine what they need to improve organizational performance and productivity. We then take advantage of our resources to search for the right candidates with the skills, perspective, and extensive experience essential to helping the company achieve success.
Over the past few years, the job market in Ohio has experienced impressive growth, with more job openings being created and more employees actively seeking to fill them than ever before. Some of the state’s main economic contributors include Manufacturing, Healthcare, Agriculture, and Construction.
Ohio is also known for its affordability, great education, and abundance of natural beauty. This, combined with its ample job opportunities, makes it an attractive state to live and work in. As a result of this saturated market, however, it can be difficult for organizations to separate the cream from the crop and find executives to lead them to success.
At Keller, we specialize in connecting top talent with organizations in need of their expertise. Our executive headhunting services do not end with sourcing the right talent. We also offer clients support to ensure the successful candidate is fully integrated into the organization.
Our commitment to providing top-tier, ongoing support, and excellent results have helped us gain a lasting reputation for reliable, high-quality recruitment services.
At Keller, we tailor our talent acquisition services to suit the needs of each client we serve. We also offer a wealth of solutions beyond the recruitment and hiring process, such as compensation consulting, succession planning, and strategy development for employee retention – among others.
At Keller, we begin each executive search with a meeting privately held between our expert team of Ohio recruiters and our client. During this meeting, we aim to understand the ins and outs of our client’s business. We gather insights and in-depth knowledge on the expectations they have for new talent in their leadership team. These include personality traits, work ethic, qualifications, and work experience. We also aim to understand the demands of the vacant position.
These details give our recruiters insight into the organization which we use, alongside our extensive expertise, to create a candidate profile. These insights and the profile we created are used as guidelines in our search for the ideal talent.
From there, our search consultants make use of our global talent database and other recruitment channels to identify candidates who seem to meet our client’s requirements.
In order to narrow down this list, each job seeker is screened. Our thorough vetting process aims to verify their resumes, references, and career history. We also run criminal background checks.
Those who pass our screening are compiled in a shortlist of professionals ideally suited to the needs of our clientele and their executive leadership team. We present this shortlist to our client so that their management may conduct interviews and make a decision.
At Keller, we leave no stone unturned when matching employers with talented executives. We aim to find the ideal match every time and make use of our tailored methodology to do so. However, we acknowledge that even the best approach can prove ineffective in some cases. Because of this, we provide all our clientele with the added assurance of our 90-day guarantee.
Should any new recruits hired through Keller’s services prove unsuitable for the role or existing department, and provided clients bring this issue to our attention within the first 90 days after the new recruit’s employment, Keller will find and provide a more suitable replacement free of charge.
At Keller, our specialized recruitment skills and expansive hands-on experience have helped our experts recruit top-notch candidates for companies from all around the globe, including Ohio.
These first-hand experiences have also guided our executive search firm in developing our tailored recruitment approach. At our recruiting firm, we customize our strategy according to each client’s individual needs, rather than applying the same cookie-cutter method to all projects. We have become known for this approach and the excellent results it yields, but this was not always the case. Some of our executive search experts may still remember the standardized approach we used when we first began operating as a search firm in the industry, and the pivotal event that led us to the strategy we use today.
When Keller first began operating as a staffing company, we made use of a generic approach that provided our limited client base with satisfactory results. However, as our agency grew, we also began branching out to larger clients. One of these clients was a particularly large company in need of an executive placement. Confident that our cookie-cutter method would work again, as it was considered the industry standard at the time, we conducted our search and provided the client with a list of professionals.
Unfortunately, it became apparent during the interview process that none of the executives we recommended would be able to fulfill our client’s needs. We were unaware of it before this experience, but this result was common when using a generic search strategy.
This experience taught us that copy-and-paste search methods were limited and failed to take client requirements into account. It also showed us the value of providing our clientele with a search strategy tailored to their unique needs.
Since then, we have adapted and perfected our tailored method, which helped us achieve a long track record of successful placements.
Over the years, Keller’s customized approach has also inspired other executive search firms to provide similar tailored solutions. In this way, our staffing company has had a significant impact on the recruiting sector. Our methods have also contributed to improving the global understanding of executive search and recruitment.
Due to our superior results, Keller has gained an enduring reputation for providing high-quality, reliable services. Our name has also become synonymous with top-notch executive search.

“We’ve worked with Keller on several occasions, and every role we needed to fill, regardless of how specialized it is, was met with excellent candidate options. We have been and continue to be very impressed by Keller and the dedication of their team.”
- Oliver K., Senior HR Manager
“We could really see how committed Keller’s team was to finding the best executives for our team. Instead of flooding us with the first candidates they could find, they took the time to select a smaller group of individuals who really offered what we needed. The executive we hired through Keller has already elevated our department and we really could not have asked for better.”
- Leona E., Chief People Officer
“Keller offered us great support in the hiring process. We love their level of communication and how well they vet every candidate. It truly felt like a collaborative experience throughout. Well done, Keller!”
- James L., HR Director
