Our executive headhunters specialize in assisting employers with locating top-tier leadership talent. We offer a range of services, including full-service recruitment, succession planning, and recruitment process outsourcing.
Indiana is home to a diverse range of industries, including technology, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. The state’s reasonable cost of living, low crime rate, and top universities make it an attractive option for many to live and work.
The job market in Indiana has recently undergone significant changes. The unemployment rate is on the rise, indicating a mismatch between available skilled labor and job openings. Many vacancies are also in industries such as healthcare and technology, which don’t have enough skilled candidates.
In such a tight labor market, finding top-tier talent for leadership roles can pose a challenge to organizations. This is where partnering with an executive search firm like Keller can have many benefits. For one, it can provide access to a larger pool of talented professionals. It can also help organizations and their human resources departments save time and money.
Our high-quality standards and commitment to finding the right candidate to lead your business to success often sets us apart as one of the leading executive recruiting firms in Indiana.
Keller comprises a team of recruiting experts with the necessary tools and resources to help companies hire exceptional talent. They are highly trained and possess many years of experience in recruiting for executive-level positions. Our recruiters are also passionate about the work they do and will go beyond the call of duty to source talent that aligns with every aspect of our clients’ firms.
Keller offers tailored solutions to organizations in Indiana as part of our dedication to providing an outstanding professional service. Our knack for identifying our clients’ hiring requirements allows us to conduct targeted searches that yield candidates who are optimally aligned with our clients’ roles. In helping them secure the perfect hires, we aim to contribute to the longevity of our clients’ firms and establish long-lasting relationships with them.
The first step in our talent acquisition process encompasses a scheduled meeting with the hiring company. This is to define the parameters of the search, including the character traits and work ethic prospective candidates must have to fit in with the existing company culture. After outlining these criteria, we are ready to begin the initial search phase.
During this phase, we rely on our extensive network and partnership with NPAworldwide to survey available talent. We cast as wide a net as possible during our initial investigation to establish a broad pool of candidates. This means we approach both active job seekers and those who are already employed.
We then whittle it down by contacting each professional to determine if they might be a good fit for the parameters we outlined at the beginning of the process. At the same time, we establish their interest in the role. Candidates who meet the criteria and are looking for a career change are selected to progress to the assessment phase.
In the assessment phase, our team conducts extensive evaluations to measure each candidate’s abilities, skills, personality, and culture fit. This includes everything from reference and background checks to psychometric and leadership style assessments. At the end of our screening process, we are left with a shortlist of only the best talent, which we introduce to the client.
The client can then conduct their own set of interviews, leaving the final decision on who to hire in their hands. If they are dissatisfied with the candidates we presented or report a placement issue within the first 90 days of onboarding a new hire, we will repeat the search process within the same parameters at no extra charge.
Keller’s team consists of experts who possess the technical skills and qualifications needed to recruit top talent for open leadership roles. They have also accumulated many years of first-hand experience in recruiting, bringing a wealth of knowledge to the table. Knowledge that has proved invaluable for informing our executive search strategy.
When Keller was established, we used a one-size-fits-all methodology for making placements, irrespective of what role needed to be filled. However, we soon realized this approach was ill-suited for sourcing executive-level talent.
As several members of our team may recall, a client reached out to us for help recruiting for a prominent role at their firm. It was during this engagement we learned the importance of a customized executive search approach. Although we were confident from the outset that our cut-and-dry method would suffice, the results of our search indicated otherwise.
In brief, the person we recommended was not the right candidate for the post. Their leadership style clashed with the other members of our clients’ management team, leading to conflict. This failure, while disappointing, highlighted the problems with our strategy. It also taught us a valuable lesson about tailoring our search to meet our customers’ unique staffing needs.
We reevaluated our methodology as a result of this experience until we arrived at the solution we offer today. Consequently, Keller is capable of assisting companies with their human resources needs across the employment spectrum. We have earned a long-standing reputation for quality and reliability along the way, making our name synonymous with high-quality recruitment.
Everyone on Keller’s team is highly qualified and experienced, with a thorough understanding of market dynamics. Their extensive expertise allows us to connect organizations with top talent in their respective industries.
As a result, you can rest assured our staffing agency will deliver the right candidate for your executive search needs, no matter the industry you operate in or the seniority of the position.

Furthermore, we only evaluate candidates based on their professional merits and cultural fit. We do this to keep our decisions about candidates objective and fair.

These attributes have helped Keller garner a lasting reputation for reliability, honesty, and high quality standards, as well as international renown in the executive search arena. As we strive to maintain our standing among the world’s best, we continuously update and refine our processes so we can carry on providing the service our firm is known for.
While Keller always conducts searches with the utmost care and consideration for our clients’ requirements, we acknowledge that there is still room for error. Thus, we offer a 90-day guarantee on all our placements for peace of mind.
For our guarantee to take effect, the client must report a placement problem within the first 90 days of hiring one of our recommended candidates. This includes situations where a candidate we suggested falls short of expectations or fails to integrate into the company’s existing team. When this happens, Keller will offer to repeat the search at no extra charge. Please note that any repetition of a search will take place using the same parameters that were agreed on at the beginning of our engagement to avoid unnecessary delays.
Included in our guarantee is the promise to protect our clients’ and candidates’ personal information in accordance with state and countrywide data protection regulations.
