Executive Recruiters Richmond, VA

Our Executive Recruitment Process

Our Richmond recruiters are dedicated to finding the perfect fit for your specific talent acquisition needs. They have many years of experience, specialized recruitment skills, and advanced technical knowledge in securing professionals for diverse employment opportunities in Richmond and beyond. We also aspire to remain informed about the latest trends and developments in the recruitment industry to maintain our long-standing reputation among the world’s best recruitment agencies. As part of our commitment to continuous learning, we also aim to stay abreast of the latest technological advancements in the industry, which may help our team increase efficiency and provide better client outcomes.

The way we currently approach the hiring process is a result of our recruiters’ extensive hands-on experience, market-specific knowledge, and a culmination of what we have learned first-hand from our previous interactions with clients. As some of our staff may recall about Keller’s early years, we originally used a generic recruitment method that failed to address the unique differences between organizations.

Although we were initially satisfied with the results of this approach, its flaws became evident during a search for a high-profile customer. While the professional we recommended in this particular instance was well-suited to the demands of the role, they were a poor match for the customer’s existing team, leading to a failed placement.

This challenging experience taught us the limitations of a cookie-cutter strategy and the value of offering tailored solutions instead. It was the catalyst that drove us to amend our methodology to one that was more focused on our customer’s recruiting needs and work culture. This pivot worked in our favor, helping us secure more successful placements and garnering us worldwide recognition as a leading staffing firm.

Our Services

Following our realization that a one-size-fits-all approach is inefficient for securing the right candidate for the right job, we began providing tailored employment solutions to accommodate our clients’ diverse needs.

We also expanded our other offerings to include services for improving employee retention and planning for the future. We now provide leadership development, succession planning, ESG and sustainability consulting, and more.

Our Hiring Process

We kickstart every new project with a consultation between our team and our client’s business leaders to establish the search criteria. This encompasses the attributes they perceive as the most beneficial for prospective workers, the position requirements, and the nature of employment (e.g., full-time or temporary).

Once the search criteria have been decided on, we use them as a roadmap to inform our hunt for the ideal candidate. We also leverage our extensive professional connections and partnership with NPAworldwide to identify a suitable talent pool.

The following step entails rigorously screening every job applicant to confirm their alignment with our client’s staffing needs and company culture. This includes a detailed examination of their personality, skill set, education, and work standards. To complete our investigation, we conduct background checks into their career history, professional references, and criminal record. We then submit the qualified candidates to our client for their consideration.
