New York City Executive Recruiting Firm

Our Executive Search Process

Keller Executive Search learned early on that a one-size-fits-all approach that emphasizes credentials over cultural fit and role success criteria doesn’t work for executive search. That lesson still informs the way we run searches today.

We follow a highly structured, transparent, and hands-on approach that allows us to really get to know each client’s unique needs, which is essential for successful executive recruitment.

Role Definition

We have a consultative discussion to understand your business needs, challenges, and culture factors. Our executive recruiters also identify the objectives, requirements, and salary targets for the job. They create a detailed role scorecard with objective criteria that become the yardstick against which candidates are measured, reducing bias in the selection process.

Research

Drawing on our in-depth industry knowledge, cutting-edge recruitment technology, and extensive network, we conduct market mapping and targeted headhunting to find the best match. We don’t restrict our search to our client’s industry alone. Instead, we look for executive talent from adjacent sectors with transferable skills who might be overlooked by other search firms.

Assessment

Our recruiters use AI-powered vetting platforms to speed up screening and shortlisting, helping them prioritize the best candidates to review. We also use data-driven strategies to refine the selection process, like structured interviews and behavioral assessments. These tools cut down on the time we spend looking at resumes and help us deliver the right talent faster.

Presentation and Offer Management

We share a report on the most qualified candidates with our clients, so they have all the information they need to make an informed decision. Our consultants engage with both clients and candidates to answer questions, offer advice, and identify potential problems that could get in the way of a candidate accepting an offer.

Beyond Placement

Our comprehensive search, strategic consulting, and direct sourcing services are aimed at helping our clients secure better leadership hires that drive innovation, encourage teams, and promote revenue. We go beyond individual hires, helping companies design more effective organizational structures and HR processes to meet future demands.
