Connecting Businesses with World-Class Leadership

Our Executive Recruitment Process

Our current recruitment procedure is the product of our consultants’ extensive experience, local market expertise, and insights gained from past interactions with customers. As some members of our team may recall, we employed a basic recruitment approach at Keller’s inception that overlooked the unique differences between companies.

Initially, this generic recruitment strategy appeared to work well, until we faced difficulties with a placement for a high-profile client who needed someone to join their leadership team. Despite having the necessary technical skills, our candidate was a poor cultural fit for our client’s firm, and the placement was ultimately unsuccessful.

This outcome prompted us to amend our approach and pay more attention to understanding our clients’ hiring practices and work culture. This new strategy paid off, allowing us to achieve higher placement success rates and establish ourselves globally as a leading provider of exceptional staffing solutions.

To ensure we remain recognized as a top-tier executive search firm, we are committed to staying current with industry developments and continuously work to improve our processes.

Our Services

With the understanding that no business is the same, Keller creates tailored employment solutions to help our client organizations procure the best talent in their respective fields.

We are a full-service recruiting firm, meaning we do more than simply place candidates in open positions. We work alongside our clients’ HR departments to gain an in-depth understanding of their hiring processes and what sets them apart from their competitors.

Keller also provides services aimed at supporting organizations across a range of circumstances, such as leadership transitions, mergers and acquisitions, and business development.

Our Hiring Process

All of our assignments begin with a meeting between our recruiting consultants, our client’s business partners, and leaders to discuss what they are looking for in potential candidates. This includes their most desirable personality traits, qualifications, and skills, as well as details associated with the open position, such as the responsibilities and demands of the job and the nature of employment (e.g., permanent, temporary, or part-time).

Once we have established our client’s expectations, we begin our search for the ideal candidate. To do this, we rely on our extensive industry connections and NPAworldwide membership to identify a pool of promising candidates. We also employ advanced recruiting technology to filter talent according to their education, skillset, and location if required.

In the next step, we meticulously screen every job applicant to determine whether they fit the technical requirements and company culture of our client’s firm. Our assessment covers skills evaluations, psychometric testing, competency-based interviews, and extensive background checks to verify each candidate’s career history, professional references, and criminal record.

At the end of this process, we are left with a shortlist of exceptional talent that we present to our client for final interviews.

Our Expertise

Our recruiting consultants assist clients in pinpointing talented job seekers who satisfy all our clients’ job requirements and align with their company culture. Possessing a wealth of knowledge, they have a track record of successfully placing candidates in all kinds of positions across various industries and disciplines.
