Executive Search and Recruitment New York City: Top Executive Recruiters and Headhunters NYC

Our New York City Executive Search Process

Our Services

Unlike many other recruitment agencies in New York City, Keller is an award-winning search firm that understands how insufficient a one-size-fits-all approach to executive search is. We set ourselves apart from other agencies and their generic recruitment services by tailoring our executive search solutions to fulfill the unique requirements of each client. Through our customized, hands-on approach, we provide our clientele with an experience that is second to none.

Delegating the search process to Keller allows clients to focus their valuable time and resources elsewhere. Our executive search strategy yields exemplary results, and we achieve this through our in-depth industry knowledge, our up-to-date recruitment technologies, and our international candidate network.

Beyond our executive recruiting expertise, Keller offers HR consulting services aimed at streamlining our client organizations’ processes and systems. These include succession planning, salary benchmarking, executive coaching, and more. We also aid in developing cutting-edge solutions that help to attract and retain the best talent in our clients’ respective fields.

Our Process

Part of Keller’s mission is to provide ethical, effective executive search solutions. We value and respect the safety of our clients, ensuring that each search is conducted with the utmost confidentiality. Consequently, we adhere to strict NDAs and never divulge any sensitive information about our clients or candidates with parties outside of our engagement contract.

To ensure a successful search, Keller’s team begins by first gaining a deep understanding of your business and its culture. During this crucial first step, our highly-qualified executive recruiters also aim to identify the role requirements and potential challenges faced by your business.

Armed with these insights, we can launch into our next step – market mapping and targeted headhunting to find the ideal match for your needs. Candidates who are deemed suitable go through a rigorous screening and assessment process, during which our team verifies their resumes and performs comprehensive background and reference checks.

This process results in a shortlist of top-tier candidates, each with the skills and personality type needed to not only succeed in the available position, but also integrate well into your existing team. We then present this list of thoroughly vetted professionals to you for your consideration.

Why Does Keller Offer Customized Recruiting Services?

At Keller, the life and work experiences of our team members have helped to shape the way we as a team, and a firm, approach executive search and headhunting.

In Keller’s early days, our team was still operating under a one-fits-all approach to executive search. Each of our team members still vividly recalls an early project where we placed a candidate with an important client in need of a senior executive. We made this placement in good faith and believed that our generalized method – which had worked for clients in the past – would suffice.

However, it became increasingly clear over the next few months that the selected candidate, their skills, and their experience did not align with the specific culture and needs of the client’s company. The placement ultimately failed, but this was a pivotal experience for the Keller team.

We finally understood that there were limits to a generic recruitment strategy, and the experience underscored how vital it is to provide clients with tailor-made, customized recruitment solutions. By shifting our strategy and seeking out candidates who meet the needs of each client, Keller has been able to achieve long-term success and foster lasting relationships with our clients.

Over the years, our recruiters have helped numerous clients find exceptional leaders, managers, C-suite professionals, and executives who have what it takes to drive their businesses forward. As a result, Keller’s name has become synonymous with stellar executive search and recruitment.
