In addition to our tailored executive search services, Keller can assist businesses with other human resource functions, such as training and development, onboarding, and compensation consulting.

Beijing is an ancient city with a history dating back over three thousand years. It is a global city and international hub for business, economics, finance, diplomacy, culture, politics, language, research, art, science and technology, tourism, and sport.

As one of the wealthiest cities in the world, Beijing has been dubbed the “billionaire capital of the world.” Additionally, Beijing hosts the headquarters of most of China’s largest state-owned enterprises, the most Fortune Global 500 companies in the world, and the world’s largest financial institutions based on total assets.

Beijing’s job market is generally stable, with a relatively low unemployment rate. Emerging industries such as clean energy and environmental technology are also creating new job opportunities. However, employers in the city face several recruitment challenges, such as a shortage of workers in the manufacturing industry, and the number of unemployed youths in China is at an all-time high.

Keller can help organizations in Beijing beat these challenges with our holistic talent strategy, broad professional connections, and expert executive recruiters.

Our Executive Recruitment Process

man-593333_960_720

Keller’s recruitment strategy has evolved over time. At first, we followed a standardized approach that neglected to consider the specific needs of our clients. While this method might have sufficed for recruiting for generic roles, we quickly discovered it was less effective for executive-level searches.

One assignment in particular demonstrated this clearly. A prominent client tasked us with locating a new executive for their firm, but the individual we recommended proved to be a poor match for their company culture as a result of our cookie-cutter approach. This led to clashes between the new hire and members of the client’s existing team, culminating in the resignation of our recommended candidate.

This experience showed us the error of our ways and served as the catalyst for reforming our search process. We started providing a more individualized approach that was better suited to finding highly skilled professionals for niche roles and saw a notable increase in the number of successful placements we were making.

This shift also bolstered our reputation among other executive recruitment agencies and helped us become recognized as a top executive search firm in Beijing and the wider region. To ensure we continue to be acknowledged for our exceptional services, we are committed to staying informed about the current state of the industry and making continuous improvements to our hiring processes.

Our Services

Keller ranks as one of the best recruitment agencies in Beijing as a result of our personalized recruitment process, which allows us to serve both small and medium-sized enterprises and large multinational organizations in acquiring the best talent for their vacant positions.

We engage closely with our clients’ human resources teams to understand their hiring needs and learn what sets them apart from their competition.

We also assist companies with navigating the challenges of recruiting in the modern business landscape and preparing for the future. We do this by helping them develop competitive compensation and benefits packages that will attract and retain employees, offering training to leadership teams, and conducting leadership assessments to identify the next generation of leaders.

Our Hiring Process

At the start of every assignment, we meet with our client’s business leaders and other important stakeholders at their firm to determine their requirements for a potential hire. We use this information to craft a profile for the perfect candidate, which comprises their ideal qualifications and skillset. During this meeting, we also find out more about the role, such as the daily duties and type of employment (e.g., short-term or permanent).

Once we know what to look for in the ideal hire, our consultants start scouring our candidate database for a suitable match. Aiding them in their search is our state-of-the-art applicant-tracking software, which gives them the ability to efficiently sift through professionals according to our client’s exact hiring needs.

In the next stage of our executive search process, we thoroughly vet each candidate who demonstrates good compatibility with the hiring criteria. Our screening procedure consists of competency-based interviews, personality assessments, and extensive reference checks.

With our background investigation complete, we are left with a curated list of candidates that we present to our client for final interviews.
