Fund Management Recruitment

Our Approach to Asset Management Recruitment

Keller employs a client-first, collaborative approach to executive search and recruitment that begins by gaining a deep understanding of your company’s needs and challenges. This allows us to offer consistent, meaningful support throughout the recruitment process and is what we base the search criteria on.

Following this, our consultants begin surveying the market for qualified candidates, deploying applicant tracking systems (ATS), talent analytics, and other recruitment software to help them quickly identify potential matches. Throughout the candidate selection process, we do our best to source a diverse talent pool that includes prospects from all backgrounds and demographic groups. In doing so, we hope to assist your business in building an inclusive workforce that contributes to your bottom line.

Through this exhaustive search, we aim to provide you with a curated list of top-tier talent. Each candidate we select possesses the necessary leadership qualities and expertise to perform well and propel your company forward, which we ascertain through our rigorous screening procedure. This entails competency-based assessments, psychometric tests, and verifying professional references and employment history.

Candidates who succeed in passing our evaluation phase enter the last stage of the recruiting process, during which we hand over to you and your hiring manager for the final decision on who to hire. However, our team will remain on hand to assist with negotiations and ensure onboarding is successful.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

From the start, Keller has been committed to pairing companies with top-tier talent. We originally used a one-size-fits-all approach that enabled us to recruit for a broad range of positions, from entry-level to mid- and even some upper management roles. However, what we found was that this method was less suited to filling higher-level jobs, which resulted in some failed hires.

We eventually came to the realization that we needed to reform our approach if we wished to improve our success rates for these roles. This occurred after a senior-level placement for a prominent client fell through due to cultural misalignment, resulting in losses for both our client’s firm and ours.

Following this, we adopted a more client-oriented approach that would allow us to craft individualized recruitment plans for each of our customers. This enabled us to focus on finding the right cultural fit, ensuring our candidates possessed the necessary technical expertise and mindset to succeed in our clients’ roles.

This shift in our recruiting process significantly improved our hiring outcomes and made Keller Executive Search a trusted name in senior management recruitment. Today, companies from all over the world rely on our deep industry insights and experience to help them source outstanding professionals who align with both their corporate culture and organizational goals.
