It’s not uncommon for people in search of career opportunities to move to the city, and landing a dream job in the Big Apple is a proposition that may excite many.
The NYC labor market is full of opportunities for job seekers at every level and across every economic sector. This comes as no surprise, given the city’s status as a global center for business and commerce. It also hosts the headquarters for the US financial industry, embodied by Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Other prominent industries in NYC include leisure and hospitality, healthcare, life sciences, medical technology and research, retail, real estate, professional and business services, legal services, transportation, world trade, and the arts.
On the flip side, New York City’s job market is notoriously competitive, meaning there are generally more applicants than open positions to fill. While these conditions can work in favor of employers since a larger talent pool allows them to raise their standards and increase their chances of finding highly skilled candidates, they can lead to a lengthier hiring process since there are more applications for employers to review.
This is where Keller can save companies time and money. With our state-of-the-art recruiting software and thorough understanding of the NYC job market, we can ensure you get access to the best talent in the fastest time.
Our staffing agency offers a comprehensive suite of services that allow us to do more than simply find placements for our client firms. Our recruiters’ profound local knowledge of the NYC job market allows us to recruit for permanent, temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire jobs across a range of industries. We also have an extensive network, thanks to our partnership with NPAworldwide, that our team can call upon for recommendations and referrals, allowing us to reach both active and passive candidates.
At Keller, one of our core tenets is accommodating the varying needs of our employers since no two companies are the same. To ensure our clients’ needs are met, we thoroughly screen every applicant to ensure they are compatible with the demands of the role and company culture. This ensures the ideal placement and reduces the chances that the candidate will leave the business after only a short tenure.
Our NYC recruiters are constantly working to source qualified candidates for jobs across multiple sectors, giving us a competitive advantage over other staffing agencies in the New York area. Here are some of the fields we are often requested to recruit for:
Keller is adept at pinpointing the right professionals for various roles, regardless of whether you require entry-level employees or senior executives for your firm in New York City. Here is a list of examples of positions we have filled in the past:
Our New York staffing agency understands that companies have different needs. To provide workforce solutions tailored to these unique requirements, we employ a comprehensive, systematic approach involving several steps.
Our expert recruiters work carefully alongside you and your hiring managers to determine your business goals, company culture, and specific role requirements before beginning our search. This is crucial as it allows us to adjust our recruitment strategy to your unique needs rather than relying on a cookie-cutter approach typical of many agencies.
After meeting with our clients to gain insights into their particular recruitment needs, our consultants develop and facilitate a custom staffing solution. This may involve a combination of candidate database searches, job postings, and targeted headhunting for the ideal employee. Unlike standard industry practices that might stop at local searches, Keller leverages our global network to conduct international searches if necessary, ensuring we leave no stone unturned.
Our initial search results in a list of potential matches for the role, which we proceed to evaluate to verify their compatibility. This procedure involves meticulously assessing each applicant based on their professional credentials and cultural fit to ensure the highest quality standards.
As part of our evaluation process, Keller uses advanced psychometric testing designed to assess a candidate’s cognitive abilities, personality traits, and cultural fit within an organization. This rigorous evaluation goes beyond standard resume reviews, allowing us to predict a candidate’s long-term success and compatibility more accurately.
At the end of our process, we have a curated list of job seekers that we present to our client for consideration. These candidates have been carefully screened and hand-chosen based on their potential to meet or exceed the requirements determined during our initial consultation.
At Keller’s founding, we used a generic approach that ignored the fact that every company has different employment needs. Being new to the industry at the time, we had not considered the possibility of using an alternative approach since the one we chose to follow had delivered adequate results until then. However, we quickly reached a point in our company’s history where we realised the limitations of our approach.
It came in the form of a request from a prominent client to find a new member for their team. We commenced the recruitment process as usual and delivered a broad list of candidates who matched the job description to the client. What we failed to do was take into account their cultural fit. This resulted in a poor match for our client’s firm and the candidate failing to perform as expected.
We took this placement as an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and reformed our methodology. We now have a long history of perfect placements and are internationally recognised for our top-notch recruitment solutions. To ensure that our methods remain up to date, we are committed to continuous learning and researching the most recent findings, developments, and challenges facing the industry.
For businesses to have a fighting chance in today’s ever-evolving economy, it’s crucial for them to adopt flexible ways of working and hire the right staff to effectively meet the challenges of this dynamism and capitalize on new opportunities. No recruiting agency understands this better than Keller, which is why we maintain and invest in an extensive database of candidates to ensure our clients have access to the best candidates available.
Furthermore, we cultivate both local and international networks within our fields of expertise, which we utilize to pinpoint the best professionals for even the most challenging placements.
