Executive Search Philippines

Our Executive Recruitment Solutions in the Philippines

At Keller Executive Search, we understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to recruiting. As such, we customize our strategies to fit the needs of each client. For instance, some clients may prefer local talents while others might want to expand the search to cover candidates from other countries.

As a premier global executive search firm, one factor that makes our headhunting service a success is our strategy to take local nuances into consideration—especially those that may affect the integration of a candidate. These nuances include management style, workplace environment, and company culture. Failing to do so may result in a clash between the prospect and other executives due to differences in leadership styles, which may extend down to the workforce.

Performing executive search can take a lot of time and resources away from human resources departments, especially those in small- to medium-sized businesses. In addition to headhunting potential candidates, HR departments would have to conduct screenings, evaluations, background checks, credit checks, and reference checks.

Partnering with a preferred recruitment agency such as Keller can prevent companies from taking away resources from their HR department to find candidates for senior leadership and C-level positions. Our team of professional consultants can headhunt talents and perform extensive assessments on behalf of the company.

Our team recruits senior leaders for up-and-coming businesses and prominent brands. Furthermore, we offer full-spectrum services designed to mitigate hiring risks and help drive organizational success, including CEO succession planning, leadership and executive assessment, talent assessment, board services, and corporate handover.

We recruit for the following positions: General Manager, Chief Information Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Managing Director, Chief Knowledge Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other managerial roles and niche positions.

Our Mission

When sourcing candidates for our clients, our executive search team looks beyond experience and skills. We also search for prospects who have the perspective, personality, and management style to fit a dynamic leadership team.

Our consulting services do not end after the client finishes the hiring process. As a leading headhunting agency in the Philippines, we go the extra mile to ensure that the chosen candidate integrates well into the company and can improve your company’s market position. Should they fail to do so, we will not consider our search services a success and offer to redo the process at the client’s request.

Our consultants are available before, during, and after the conclusion of our executive search services. This allows us to keep clients updated on the progress of the search and recruitment process and address any issues that may arise during the engagement.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

The business environment in the Philippines is generally positive and provides many opportunities for foreign investors. The government has implemented a series of economic reforms since 2001, including the liberalization of foreign exchange and investment regulations, the improvement of the taxation system, and the promotion of private sector competition. These reforms have improved the ease of doing business in the country, making it an attractive destination for foreign investors.

The Philippines has a strong and diversified economy with a wide range of industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and services. The country has a large and growing middle class, which is driving domestic consumption and creating a growing market for services. The Philippine government has also made strong efforts to improve the infrastructure in the country, which is necessary for economic growth.

The country has a large and diverse workforce. It is home to a range of different occupations and industries and is one of the world’s leading countries in terms of remittances and foreign direct investment.

The Asian country’s workforce is largely composed of young people aged between 15 and 24, who represent nearly half of the total labor force. As a highly urbanized country, the majority of the population is employed in the services sector, which includes retail, finance, and business services. The manufacturing sector, which contributes 13.5% to the GDP, is also important for the Philippine economy and employs over 8 million people.

The Philippines has a strong labor force participation rate, and the government has taken steps to reduce unemployment and underemployment.

Our Approach to Executive Search

Keller is a widely recognized leader in the field of recruitment. We have established ourselves as a premier executive search firm in the Philippines, viewed widely as the go-to partner for organizations seeking high-caliber talents for their leadership positions.

At the heart of Keller’s success is our innovative and comprehensive approach to executive search. Our recruiters employ a meticulously crafted methodology that begins with an in-depth consultation. In the initial stages of the search, we aim to understand the client’s unique hiring needs, their company culture, and the business’s strategic goals. Our team also conducts extensive market research and leverages our advanced talent analytics software to craft a candidate profile.

When the search starts, we utilize our candidate-tracking tools and a wide network of industry connections to efficiently identify potential candidates. Our tools allow us to reach even passive candidates who may not be actively looking for a job but may be interested in new opportunities.

Once all possible candidates have been identified, we begin the assessment process. Our evaluation includes:

• Rigorous background and criminal checks
• Extensive reference checks

We also utilize cutting-edge psychometric testing and tailored diversity strategies to ensure the candidates match the skills and cultural fit needed by our clients.

All candidates who are shortlisted are presented to the client for final interviews and hiring.

Behind Keller’s Executive Search Process

In our early days, Keller approached each executive search using a generic methodology. While we have connected clients to candidates, many contracts ended following ill-fitting placements. This was largely due to the limitations of a generic approach, which fails to take into account our clients’ nuanced hiring needs and the current market conditions.

These setbacks became the catalyst for Keller. Our team invested heavily in developing a tailored method that combined in-depth industry analysis, cultural fit, and our client’s needs and goals. Our shift to this approach has led to a track record of successful placements and a long-standing reputation for quality and reliability. It also helped us foster a lasting relationship with local clients.
