Our Approach to Executive Recruiting

As a top recruitment agency in Belgium, we understand the importance of personalized staffing solutions for successful outcomes. As a result, before beginning the search for the appropriate candidate, our advisors seek to understand our customers’ recruiting criteria and the local job market. To do this, Keller follows a holistic approach.

Every search begins with detailed consultations between our recruiters, our client’s human resources teams, and other key stakeholders. During these meetings, we learn about the unique challenges associated with the industry and the position. Our team also identifies any talent gaps, clarifies long-term needs and goals, and understands intricate factors that affect the success of a placement—including company and organizational culture and candidate expectations.

Once consultations are over, our team uses both traditional and modern sourcing methods, such as job boards and social media platforms. We also draw on our wide network through NPAworldwide, which allows us to access active and passive local and international candidates—those who may not be looking for new job opportunities but possess the skills and qualifications required by our clients. Our approach allows us to offer a diverse group of qualified candidates, giving our clients a broad, talented pool of prospects.

All potential hires go through a rigorous screening process to confirm they meet our high standards. Only those who excel in our assessments are shortlisted and presented to our clients. Our screening process includes:

• Comprehensive background and criminal checks
• Reference interviews
• Credential confirmations
• In-depth behavioral and competency-based interviews
• Advanced psychometric evaluations based on validated frameworks (such as DISC, MBTI, or Hogan)
• Industry-specific knowledge evaluations

When we conduct psychometric evaluations, we use scientifically validated tests or recognized personality and behavioral frameworks. For example, a DISC assessment may help us understand how a candidate approaches teamwork or conflict resolution. An MBTI test could reveal how they process information, while a Hogan assessment might offer insights into leadership style and potential workplace strengths or risks. By using these proven methods, we can predict on-the-job performance and cultural fit more accurately.

To help streamline our client’s hiring process, Keller provides detailed candidate profiles outlining each person’s qualifications and the results of their assessments. We also offer onboarding support to ensure the chosen candidate integrates into the existing workforce.

Throughout the entire search, we keep in close contact with regular updates and encourage feedback. We also share our expertise on salary expectations, market trends, and interview techniques to support smart decision-making.

Why Keller Uses a Tailored Recruitment Approach

In Keller’s early days, our team followed a standard recruitment process that was widely accepted throughout the industry at the time. This generic approach helped our clients save time and quickly fill open positions. However, as Keller and our client base expanded, so did the hiring needs of our clients. Our partners began looking for prospects who had specialized skills. They also began seeking individuals who fit specific backgrounds, personalities, and workplace cultures.

The turning point came when we placed a candidate who struggled to integrate into the existing team. The problems caused by this poor match pushed us to rethink and refine our entire hiring process. We realized that a one-size-fits-all approach wasn’t enough to meet our clients’ evolving needs.

In response, Keller began investing heavily in a client-centered strategy. Instead of focusing only on technical qualifications, we started considering other important factors, such as personality traits, communication styles, and long-term career goals. At the same time, we adopted new tools and methods to measure cultural fit and spent extra time researching each client’s strategic objectives and vision. These steps helped us gain a clearer picture of the qualities our candidates needed to succeed.

To reach a wider range of job seekers, we also expanded our talent search by tapping into our extensive network and using both traditional and modern recruitment technologies. This broader approach allowed us to find exceptional candidates who might have been overlooked by a standard hiring process.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

Belgium’s job market shows strong potential despite some economic uncertainties. The Financial and Real Estate sector is leading the way with robust hiring plans, followed by the Energy and Transport sectors. High-level professionals, especially in science, engineering, healthcare, and business, are in particularly high demand, making up about 30% of all job opportunities. Salaries for senior roles are quite attractive, with tech leads earning between €64,500 to €92,000 annually and some specialized positions commanding even higher compensation.

The market strongly favors candidates with advanced qualifications, with nearly half of the workforce expected to have high-level qualifications. Companies are actively seeking professionals who combine technical expertise with language skills – knowledge of English plus either Dutch or French is particularly valuable. While there’s strong competition for top positions, the outlook remains positive, especially in major cities like Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent. The shift toward digital transformation and innovation across industries means continued opportunities for experienced professionals, particularly in emerging fields like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.

Our recruiting agency understands the issues that businesses confront in today’s ever-changing market conditions, which usually necessitate swift adjustments and the implementation of new strategies. Keller focuses on monitoring industry developments to sustain current practices. Additionally, we may tailor our staffing solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients.
