Headhunters and Executive Recruiters United Kingdom

Our Process

Our Services

Keller’s specialists and executive search consultants are ready to assist clients before, during, and after the executive recruitment process. Instead of focusing solely on identifying the best person in the industry, Keller focuses on whether prospective job seekers and candidates are ideally suited to the company’s culture, and whether they have the potential to contribute to business transformation for their employers.

As a proud member of NPAworldwide, Keller takes great pride in providing excellent recruitment services. Our executive recruitment firm aims to find executives for our new and repeat clients who will provide their company with a competitive edge.

Combined with the vast expertise, specialized recruiting skills, and extensive technical market knowledge of our team, this ensures that the individuals we identify align well with our client’s corporate values.

Our Process for Identifying Top-Tier Executive Talent

In our experience, a one-fits-all approach to recruitment is insufficient and can lead to placements that fail to meet the standard expected by our clientele. For this reason, unlike many other recruitment firms, Keller tailors its search process to meet the specific hiring needs of each client. Candidates must be sourced according to different management styles, work ethics, and country-related requirements. Our international executive search firm takes such nuances into consideration when choosing executives.

In other words, knowing and understanding an organisation’s needs is critical for recruiting the right people.

Prior to the start of the search process, our headhunters schedule a meeting with the client and their human resources managers to discuss the skillset, experience, qualifications, work ethic, and personality type they require of prospective senior-level employees. We also aim to gain an in-depth knowledge of the client’s organisational culture and work ethic.

This provides our recruiters with guidelines in our search for the best possible talent available. Our headhunters utilize their vast professional and academic qualifications, extensive hands-on experience, and expert knowledge to find the best of the best.

As part of the search process, the individuals we select will be thoroughly assessed to ensure that they will integrate well with the company’s current staff. This screening process allows us to verify their references and resumes, check their backgrounds for criminal history, and test their personalities.

Additionally, Keller guarantees that even the the assessment process will be tailored to country and industry requirements, taking into account the unique characteristics of each organisation.

Once our vetting process concludes, we are left with a shortlist of the very best talent for our client’s needs. These executives are not only a good fit for the role, but each also makes for an ideal cultural fit. This shortlist is passed on to our clientele, so that they may conduct the final interviews and selection.

Why Keller Uses a Tailored Approach

Keller is home to a team of highly qualified recruiters, each of which has vast first-hand experience in the field. Each of these experiences has helped to shape the way Keller approaches recruitment and executive search.

During Keller’s formative years, we used a generic recruitment method, which had worked for the few clients we had served.

However, we reached a turning point when we used this method to place a candidate with an important client looking for a new leader. It quickly became evident that the candidate was a subpar fit. Their skills and personality did not align well with the company’s unique needs and culture, which ultimately led to the failure of the placement.

While this was a difficult experience, it helped us realize how many limitations a generic recruitment strategy has, and emphasized the strategic value of adapting our solutions to fit the requirements of our clientele instead. Since adapting our approach and seeking out executives and professionals who meet each client’s needs, we have built lasting relationships with our clientele and achieved long-term success.

Our customized services have helped numerous clients from around the world to find exceptional leaders for their teams, with the skills and expertise needed to catapult their businesses to new heights. We have also helped many job seekers find the right career with the right organisation.

As a result, Keller has had a significant influence on the recruitment sphere, and helped to shape the way it it is understood worldwide.
