Premier Executive Search and Recruitment Services in Italy

Keller is widely recognized as a leading Italian executive search firm that offers clients a highly personalized recruitment process. We aim to source top-level talent for executive, senior management, and C-suite roles.

Known for its stunning landscape, vibrant culture, rich history, and wealth of delectable culinary triumphs, Italy draws millions of visitors each year – especially to cities like Rome and Milan. However, it is also considered one of Europe’s best places to live and an excellent destination for expats.

Italy has a unique and varied business environment with a history of innovation, creativity, and efficiency. As the world’s fifth-largest economy, it is highly dependent on exports – particularly the export of luxury goods. The country is also a major player in the automotive, fashion, and luxury goods industries, as well as tourism and agriculture.

However, Italy’s job market is not without its challenges. With a high youth unemployment rate and regional disparities, it can be difficult for job seekers to find work. There is also a language barrier, and the ability to speak Italian can open more opportunities for foreign workers. Some in-demand experience that can improve a candidate’s prospects include data analysis, IT, cybersecurity, and healthcare.

However, in such a competitive market, it can be difficult for companies to find their ideal employees – and vice versa. For this reason, many organizations turn to search firms like Keller for assistance.

We work closely with our clients to determine what they are looking for in an employee. We also take into consideration the organization’s workplace culture and the goals it is hoping to achieve. We aim to contribute to our client’s success by headhunting qualified candidates ideally suited to their open position.

At Keller, we pride ourselves on the things that set us apart from other recruitment agencies, such as our global reach, our vast network of top-quality executives, and our timely results.

Our Services

Keller is known for helping clients around the globe to identify, recruit, and hire the right talent for their organization. We also provide ongoing support and strategies for retaining said talent. In this way, we provide our clients with the employees and tools needed to become global leaders in their fields.

We also offer a comprehensive suite of solutions outside of recruitment, such as leadership development programs and guidance on optimizing HR processes, enhancing efficiency in the workplace, and reducing employee workload.

Our consultants are reachable over the entire course of the engagement. As such, clients can get updates easily and quickly, and any issues that may arise during the search process can be addressed quickly.

Our Process

During each executive search engagement, Keller assigns a dedicated team of professional recruiters. We focus our highest efforts and resources on finding good professionals for your vacant position.

Keller’s consultants follow a trusted process during executive search engagements. In the initial phase of the engagement, our consultants meet with the client to get a deep knowledge of their hiring requirements. This allows us to gain a better understanding of the factors that could affect the recruitment efforts, such as the organization’s management style, workplace culture, goals, and company vision.

These factors provide us with valuable insights needed to generate a candidate profile and search guidelines which, in turn, help us select executives who can integrate well into the organization. This guideline includes a job description and job requirements such as soft skills and core competencies expected of the prospective employees.

Our consultants carefully select seemingly suitable candidates from our broad talent network. We also utilize numerous other recruitment channels, both traditional and unconventional, to identify prospects who meet the requirements.

The group of selected candidates is then screened in more depth with the aim of verifying their career history, references, and soft skills.

Those who do not fit the requirements for the open role are then removed from the group, and we are left with a shortlist of executives ideally suited to drive growth and success in the client’s organization.

Once our process concludes, we present the client with the shortlisted candidates. The client can then schedule and conduct interviews and evaluations to determine who would be the best fit for their organization.

Why Keller Uses A Customized Recruitment Methodology

e8d36f7d-8fa9-4da7-9abe-216e9c0286af

Keller’s team is home to experts in the field of recruitment, each bringing a wealth of industry knowledge, specialized skills, and hands-on experience to the table. Our experts also boast extensive academic achievements and professional qualifications.

The first-hand experiences of our team have, over the years, helped Keller refine our approach to recruitment. One such experience is particularly memorable for being the main catalyst for change in our firm.

It occurred during Keller’s first few years in the field when we were still making use of a generic, industry-standard approach to executive search and recruitment. While this approach had yielded moderately successful results, our client base was very limited. Once we began to grow and branch out, we were hired by a larger and more influential client to fill their executive vacancy. Thinking that the same methodology we had used for our smaller client base would be successful in this project as well, we applied it in good faith.

Unfortunately, the result of the placement was one that is common when using a cookie-cutter approach to recruitment. The executive we placed not only integrated poorly into the existing leadership team, but was also unable to fulfill job duties.

That experience, while difficult, helped our agency realize the limitations of using a one-fits-all recruitment strategy. It also taught us how valuable it is to instead tailor this strategy to the unique requirements of each of our clients.

Since then, we have been refining and perfecting our methods in order to provide our clientele with the right people for their companies.

Over the years, Keller’s tailored approach has inspired and influenced other agencies to adopt similar methods, resulting in a significant shift in the world of executive recruitment. In this way, our agency has also contributed to an improved worldwide understanding of executive search as a whole, and our name has become interchangeable with high-quality, reliable search solutions.

Our Guarantee

At Keller, we do not consider our services a success if the talent we have placed leaves the client’s company prematurely or if they clash with other executives due to differences in management styles. Should such cases occur, we offer to redo the search free of charge, in order to provide a more suitable replacement.

Note that this guarantee is only valid during the first three months (or ninety days) of their employment.
