At Keller, we understand that certain factors influence company needs, including business size, available resources, and industry. As a premier staffing agency, we specialize in sourcing highly qualified job seekers through quality recruiting solutions. Our experienced recruiters boast specialized recruiting skills, extensive academic qualifications, with comprehensive insight into local and international markets.
Their hands-on experience, merged with our vast pool of talented job seekers and industry expertise, gives us the means to reach candidates from anywhere in the world. This means we are not limited to local talent, which can accelerate the hiring process and make it more cost-effective for our clientele.
We always start the job search in close consultation with our clients’ hiring managers to ensure we fully understand their job descriptions and any other needs their businesses have in terms of staffing.
Once we feel confident that we fully understand a company’s requirements, we can filter through a list of job seekers to identify talented professionals who seem to meet the criteria. At our staffing firm, we source for both professionals actively seeking work and professionals who may not be looking for a job but are open to new opportunities.
Once we have selected a group of possible candidates, we conduct a screening procedure. During this screening, we examine the work ethic, personality traits, experience, qualifications, and skills of each professional, identifying professionals who are ideally suited to the position we are recruiting for. Our team also conducts rigorous background, criminal, and reference checks to ensure each candidate is qualified and their CVs are authentic.
The top-performing talent is shortlisted and presented to our clientele. However, the final decision of which professionals to interview and ultimately hire for their company’s vacancy still rests with the hiring manager.
At Keller, our recruiting professionals have many years of hands-on experience. We have these experiences to thank for shaping and refining our recruiting methods. One experience, in particular, will forever remembered by our team for the transformative effect it had on our agency.
During Keller’s early years, our team utilized a cookie-cutter approach to executive search and recruitment. At the time, we were confident this approach would suffice for any placement since it had succeeded until then. However, we were soon tasked with finding someone to fill a senior leadership role for a prominent client seeking a talented executive.
We approached the placement like every other that came before it, not knowing we would ultimately fail to find someone who was a suitable match for the client. The candidate we recommended did not align with the client’s vision or work culture, resulting in friction between members of management and the candidate failing to meet targets.
While unpleasant, this failure showed us the shortcomings of our generic recruiting process and taught our team the benefits of instead using an individualized approach tailored to each client. Since then, we have invested a significant amount of time into developing and refining our methodology, which has led to more successful placements than we could have hoped for while we were using our previous approach.
Today, Keller is internationally recognized as a frontrunner in the recruiting industry for our innovative methods and attention to detail, which allow us to secure candidates who not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. Our long track record of success has allowed us to assist employers on a global scale, and our methods have significantly influenced the executive search arena. We have helped foster a better understanding of executive recruitment, inspiring other agencies to adopt similar approaches.
As part of our mission to help employers obtain the right staff, we take every reasonable measure to ensure that the individuals we recommend are perfectly aligned with their business needs, objectives, and organizational culture. At our recruiting firm, headhunters remain available to clients throughout the hiring process, providing a professional service grounded in openness, honesty, and the highest level of integrity.
Additionally, Keller’s recruiters are bound by a code of ethics to protect user data and privacy. This means we make use of responsible, ethical practices and never disclose information about clients or candidates to third parties. We conduct all our search activities with the utmost confidentiality and respect for client safety.
Lastly, we understand that circumstances can change and that sometimes placements fall through for various reasons. Consequently, we will offer to replace any candidate who underperforms or resigns from a company within the first three months of their employment.
