Why Use Keller Executive Search for Executive Recruitment in New Zealand?

Our Executive Search Process

Our New Zealand headhunters follow a trusted recruiting process for all our leadership search assignments. Our executive search services cannot begin until we have established what the client expects of the candidates in terms of skills, experiences, education, and salary. For that reason, our first step is to schedule initial meetings with the company’s senior management to discuss what the business needs.

Once we have established the search parameters based on these insights, we begin our search for suitable professionals. To do so, we make use of both traditional and modern recruitment methods. We also take advantage of our extensive global network of candidates. Professionals who meet the hiring requirements will then be contacted by our team to establish their interest in a new role.

Keller Executive Search values inclusion and diversity. We select candidates based solely on their qualifications, capabilities, and suitability for the vacancy, and our team does not discriminate based on gender, race, age, or religion.

Selected candidates are then subjected to an intensive screening process to ensure they are the best fit. Our screening process involves background and credit checks. We also verify their past performances and skill set. Professionals who do not meet the client’s standards do not make it through this vetting process.

Following the evaluations, we will present to the client candidates who have been shortlisted. It remains the responsibility of the client to conduct final interviews and make a hiring decision.

Furthermore, our New Zealand executive search firm offers support even after the search has concluded and the candidate has been placed. We provide our clients with additional support services, including leadership assessment, EVP Development, workplace coaching, assistance with strategy development, and succession planning.

We do not consider an engagement a success if the client fails to hire any suitable talent. In such cases, we offer to repeat the search at the client’s request, at no additional charge, and adjust the search parameters if needed. However, this replacement cover is only valid up to 365 days after the candidate has been hired.

At Keller Executive Search, we value confidentiality and respect client privacy. For this reason, we make use of only the most ethical, responsible search practices.
