Our Process

After laying the foundation of our search, our team can begin searching the market in Portland and the surrounding areas for potential hires. We also access our extensive network to carefully select top talent, which we are sure will help our clients’ organizations grow.

We compile a list of all candidates who meet the preliminary requirements.

Every candidate who shows promise as a match for our client is then rigorously screened to validate their resume and ascertain their fit for the role and the company’s culture. Candidates who successfully pass our evaluations will be shortlisted for our client to review.

Why Keller Uses A Customized Recruiting Approach

Keller’s team, comprised of devoted experts with rich professional backgrounds, has nearly twenty years of collective hands-on experience. These first-hand experiences have had a profound influence on how we tackle each executive search.

One such experience, and perhaps the most pivotal point in Keller’s history, happened in our company’s early days.

Back then, the Keller team relied on a one-fits-all recruitment method, which had seemed to work adequately for the modest client base we had at the time. This moderate success led our team to maintain this approach without modifying it.

However, our team members still recall vividly when this all changed. Keller partnered with a larger client than we’d ever had before, and we were tasked with finding a senior executive candidate for their company. Encouraged by our previous success, our team applied our standardized method with confidence and expected the same results we had gotten before.

Unfortunately, the placement we made turned out to be unsuccessful. The candidate we had provided did not meet the expectations of our client. Unbeknownst to us beforehand, this result was typical of applying the same generic approach to each executive search process. This taught our team some valuable lessons and underscored the shortcomings and inadequacy of the generic strategy we had been using.

While challenging, this experience – and learning how to overcome such challenges – was crucial in teaching our team and our firm the importance of adopting a customized strategy, as well as providing tailored solutions for lasting success.

Since adapting our method, our executive staffing agency has been able to assist countless organizations worldwide. It has also helped us match talent more accurately to their dream job, giving employers and employees alike a better chance to succeed.

Our Guarantee

Keller goes the extra mile to ensure that we meet client needs. However, it is no secret that claiming 100% guaranteed results for each search is unrealistic. We acknowledge that circumstances can change and each search comes with its own challenges. For this reason, to provide even further assurance, Keller offers the following guarantee:

Should any candidates we place fail to meet requirements within the first three months of their employment, we will replace the candidate with someone more suitable – free of charge.
