Our new CFO is steady, smart, and easy to work with, which is exactly what we wanted. Keller checked in often, moved fast, and never pushed us to settle for a ‘good enough’ option. We felt supported the whole time.
Derrick M., VP of Talent Acquisition
Keller absolutely delivered. We needed a technical leader that was difficult to find, and we didn’t have time for a long ramp-up. We couldn’t be happier with our new CTO.
Alyssa P., HR Director
Keller nailed the balance of speed and quality. They worked quickly and the candidates they suggested were high quality. We were able to choose the right person thanks to their team. They coached us through interviews, helped us compare finalists, and kept us focused on what we really needed.
Nate B., Board Hiring Committee Chair
We were stuck and starting to lose momentum until Keller stepped in. They pushed us in a helpful way and brought us candidates we were excited to meet.
