Unparalleled Executive Search Solutions for Bahamian Businesses
Executive Recruitment Services in The Bahamas
The Bahamas is an island country situated on the northwestern edge of the West Indies. Formerly a colony under British rule, it gained its independence in 1973.
The Bahamas is home to a distinctive blend of African and European cultures, the former a legacy of the plantation system and slave trade. Today, the islands rely heavily on tourism as their main source of revenue since the only natural resources they have are their picturesque beaches and sunny climate. Tourism is concentrated on the Grand Bahama and New Providence islands, and most visitors come from the United States. Approximately half of the working population is employed in the tourism sector.
Banking and offshore international financial services are the second-most important economic sectors in the Bahamas. It is the leading banking jurisdiction in the Caribbean and hosts the most offshore entities in the world.
Agriculture and manufacturing account for less than 10% of the country’s economy. It imports most of its comestibles from the United States since only a tiny portion of the land is capable of producing crops. However, the warm climate allows for the cultivation of a variety of fruits such as mango, guava, tomato, pineapple, banana, grapefruit, soursop, sea grape, and sapodilla. Some sheep, cattle, and pigs are raised. The country also has a small fishing industry dominated by grouper, conch, and spiny lobster. Manufacturing industries mainly focus on making liquor like rum, but pharmaceuticals and cement are also produced.
Keller is one of the leading executive search firms and recruitment agencies in the Bahamas with international recognition and a track record of sourcing the right leaders for our client firms. We find leaders of exceptional caliber across various fields of expertise on behalf of our client companies, contributing to their sustained growth and success.
As a full-service executive search and recruitment firm, we handle more than your average recruitment agency. Our consultants perform a needs assessment to understand our client’s unique requirements, culture, and goals; develop a tailored search strategy to identify potential candidates; conduct in-depth interviews with promising candidates; do salary negotiation on our client’s behalf; and provide onboarding support. Additionally, we offer coaching to leaders and employees, succession planning, ESG and DEI consulting, and business transformation.
Our Recruitment Process
While regular recruitment leverages databases or job listings to identify potential candidates, we use an alternative strategy. We foster relationships with all kinds of skilled professionals, allowing us to contact passive job seekers, senior executives, and board members who might be otherwise out of reach, yielding a more qualified candidate pool. We also utilize our extensive network to get recommendations and referrals, providing us access to candidates who cannot be reached through social media or advertisements.
We aim to build enduring relationships with our clients via our personalized approach, striving to tailor our methods to your specific staffing requirements. This approach has helped us obtain international recognition and fill even the most challenging positions at our client organizations.
Whenever we start a new assignment, our consultants have a discussion with the key business leaders and other decision-makers at our client organization to find out what they are seeking in job applicants. We use the information we glean from this meeting to build a profile for the perfect candidate, which we keep on hand for the duration of our search.
After finalizing this step, our consultants work around the clock to find the right candidate. They perform searches across education, expertise, location, and skillset using our cutting-edge recruiting software to streamline the process.
Then, we meticulously evaluate all the candidates we find to confirm whether they could fulfill the job requirements and align with the company culture. We also perform thorough background and reference checks to verify their previous work experience and criminal history.
Upon completing the assessment phase, we present a curated list of candidates to the client to review. From this list, our client might choose the next great leader for their company.
