Executive Recruiters Irvine

Our Executive Recruitment Process

Keller takes pride in assisting all kinds of businesses in Irvine to procure talented job seekers for their vacancies. Our team of expert recruiters is highly qualified and experienced at connecting employers with the right candidates to lead their businesses to new heights. Their credentials include Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC), Professional in Human Resources (PHR), and Certified Employee Retention Specialist (CEPS).

Our current recruiting process was built over several years of trial and error. As a few of our staff members may be able to recollect, Keller utilized a cut-and-dry recruiting method when it was first established. This approach did not consider the unique challenges, needs, or goals of our client firms, which negatively impacted our placements – though it was a particular placement that motivated us to amend our approach.

The placement in question was on behalf of a high-profile client who hired us to source someone for an open key position at their firm. While we succeeded in finding someone with a skill set that aligned with the job description, it soon became apparent that they lacked compatibility with the rest of our client’s team. This led to clashes in management style and the eventual resignation of the individual we had recommended.

We used this setback as a learning opportunity and began offering bespoke employment solutions that were more attuned to our client companies’ specific needs. This change significantly increased our success rates and improved our firm’s standing, enabling us to join the ranks of the world’s best executive recruiting agencies.

To ensure we continue to rank among the world’s finest, we commit ourselves to continuous learning and staying updated on the latest applications, research, technological advancements, and challenges in the industry.

Our customized recruiting strategy, combined with our commitment to providing excellent service, has helped Keller gain a lasting reputation for reliability and quality. This tailored strategy has also influenced the recruitment industry significantly, contributing to the way in which executive search is understood. As a result, our name has become associated with premier executive recruiting in Irvine and around the world.

Our Services

Given our understanding that every company has different needs, Keller provides tailored staffing solutions focused on securing the best human resources for our clients.

In other words, we do not merely fill open positions at our clients’ businesses. We are a full-service staffing agency that collaborates with their in-house HR teams to understand the nature of their hiring processes and how their companies differ from competitors.

Keller also offers supportive business services that go beyond recruitment, such as ESG and sustainability consulting, succession planning, leadership and employee coaching, and more.

Our Hiring Process

We initiate every assignment with an open discussion between our recruiters and our client’s leadership team. During this discussion, we define the search criteria for the ideal candidate, which includes the preferred skills, education, and personality traits our client would like job applicants to have. We also outline the demands and responsibilities of the position and the type of employment (e.g., temporary or full-time).

Based on these insights, we create a profile for the perfect candidate. Using this profile as their guide, our consultants leverage our advanced candidate tracking systems and other digital resources to filter applicants according to qualification, skill, and location (if required). Our consultants can also use the extensive industry connections we have built throughout the years to identify professionals who are not actively in the job market.

Their initial search yields a pool of professionals who show the most promise in terms of the search criteria. These candidates then undergo extensive evaluations by our team, who use advanced psychometric testing and background checks to investigate their career history, professional qualifications, and criminal record.

Our meticulous screening procedure yields a shortlist of executives who show the most compatibility with the search requirements and our client’s company culture. We present this list to our client’s hiring manager, who has the ultimate authority over whom to hire.
