Our Process

Keller is widely recognized as a leading company in executive recruitment. Our reputation is matched by the long-standing, proven track records of our specialists. This, coupled with our in-depth knowledge, allows us to deliver high-quality staffing services and identify professionals with the skill sets and cultural fit that align with the needs of our clients and contribute to the long-term success of the organizations we support.

A large part of what makes our talent acquisition reliable is our holistic, client-centric approach to recruitment. Our hiring process begins with a consultation between Keller recruiters, our client’s HR department, and relevant stakeholders. During the initial meeting, our main goal is to understand the unique needs and goals of our partners. We also aim to gather insights that could affect the success of the placement, including the talent gap, company culture, organizational structure, and specific qualifications and traits they are seeking in candidates. This approach allows us to tailor our search efforts and ensure we are aligned with the client’s vision and expectations. Following consultation, our team prepares a candidate profile detailing the qualifications and culture that fit our client’s needs.

We utilize a combination of targeted sourcing methods, including traditional channels such as job boards and more modern tools such as social media platforms. Keller also leverages its extensive network and partnership with NPA Worldwide to find and attract a diverse pool of top-notch candidates. Our search is not limited to just active talents but also passive professionals who may not be seeking new opportunities but possess the skills and experience that align perfectly with our client’s needs. By tapping into these talent pools, we ensure that our clients have access to the most qualified candidates, regardless of the current activity in the job market.

Keller conducts in-depth interviews, skills assessments, and checks to make sure each talent we present to clients meets the highest standards. Our screening process includes:

• Comprehensive background and criminal checks
• Reference interviews
• Credential confirmations
• In-depth behavioral and competency-based interviews
• Advanced psychometric evaluations
• Industry-specific knowledge evaluations

Once assessments are complete, our clients receive a curated shortlist of prospects as well as candidate profiles with summaries of each candidate’s qualifications, experience, and the result of their assessment.

Throughout the process, we maintain open lines of communication with our partners, providing regular updates and guidance on salary expectations, market trends, and interview strategies to streamline the decision-making process.

Finally, once our client selects a candidate, our team assists with the onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition and a seamless integration into the existing workforce.

Why Keller Uses a Customized Approach to Recruitment

In our initial days, Keller used a standardized approach to recruitment that was widely embraced within the industry. However, as our firm grew and diversified, it became clear that a cookie-cutter strategy no longer aligned with the unique needs of our clients. Keller recognized that to maintain its competitive edge, and to help our partners attract top talent, we needed to adopt a more customized approach to recruitment.

We invested heavily in developing an approach to focus on the specific needs of our clients. By understanding the unqiue skills sets, experiences, and cultural fit required for each role, ensuring all professionals we place better align with the values and long-term goals of our clients. Our customized approach also helped us identify and target niche pools that were previously overlooked in the standardized process.

Our refined approach has resulted in higher-quality hires, a significant reduction in turnover rates for our clients, and a talent pool of candidates from diverse backgrounds, cultures, genders, and age. It has also allowed us to make our processes more inclusive and equitable, helping ensure all candidates are evaluated solely based on their merits and potential.

Our Guarantee

Keller takes pride in delivering results that go beyond simply filling a position. We understand that every client is different, and every role and industry has its own set of challenges and expectations. That’s why we go beyond the basic job requirements to ensure every candidate placed has the right skills and mindset to thrive in the specific environment of our client’s organizations.

Local Expertise, Global Reach, Extensive Network

Minnesota’s job market in 2025 is robust, with steady growth across various sectors. The state has a low unemployment rate of 3.5%, which is below the national average, reflecting a healthy labor market. Key industries driving job growth include healthcare, education, and technology, with Minneapolis emerging as a significant tech hub. However, Minnesota faces challenges such as an aging workforce and a tight labor market, where job openings often outnumber available workers. This dynamic creates opportunities for job seekers but also poses difficulties for employers in filling positions.

The executive job market in Minnesota is active and diverse, particularly in the Twin Cities area. Roles in accounting, finance, IT, and healthcare leadership are in high demand. Executive search firms in Minnesota specialize in connecting top talent with companies seeking leaders in sectors like MedTech, legal services, and marketing. Competitive salaries and opportunities for career advancement make the state attractive for executives. However, some industries, such as manufacturing and professional services, have experienced slower hiring rates due to economic uncertainties.

Overall, Minnesota remains one of the best states for job seekers due to its strong economy and high labor force participation rate. While challenges like workforce shortages persist, initiatives to attract talent and expand industries continue to bolster the state’s employment landscape. For executives, Minnesota offers a range of opportunities in leadership roles across growing sectors, making it an appealing destination for career growth.
