Located at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers in Multnomah County, Portland is a port city in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the most populous city in Oregon, with approximately half its residents staying within the Portland metro area.
Portland is a great location that lends itself to a number of industries. It also boasts readily available resources, relatively low energy costs, substantial marine shipping facilities, international airports, interstate networks running east-west and north-south, and connections to both major west coast transcontinental railroads – all of which contribute to its economically advantageous position.
The technology sector is one of Portland’s main economic drivers, with over 1,200 tech businesses located within the metro. This abundance of tech firms in the Portland area has earned it the moniker ‘Silicon Forest’, a nod to the region’s plentiful trees and Northern California’s Silicon Valley.
Due to its diverse industries, major employers, and quickly growing job market, Portland draws many talented individuals seeking employment every year. In such a competitive and saturated labor market, however, it can be difficult for top employers to find and hire the right talent for their needs.
Our dedicated team of Portland executive headhunters has a long history of successful placements, making us the ideal trusted recruiting partner to assist companies and nonprofit organizations in finding the right candidate.
Our wide range of services and commitment to finding the best candidate for your open position are some of the qualities that make Keller one of the leading executive search firms in Portland, Oregon.
