Furthermore, we assist with other HR functions, such as succession planning, professional development, salary benchmarking, and cultural transformation.

Our Approach to AI Recruitment

Artificial Intelligence

Our success is intrinsically linked to the success of our clients. Hence, we spare no effort in hunting for the ideal candidate for a role. Our objective is to pinpoint the most qualified candidates whose capabilities resonate with our client’s business requirements. In essence, we tailor our services to each client, with a focus on aiding their business expansion.

We commence every new search with a detailed analysis of our client’s business needs to identify areas that could be enhanced by the perfect candidate. Following this, we suggest innovative strategies aimed at helping our clients secure and retain the right talent.

Our executive recruiters then tap into our vast candidate network to pinpoint the ideal match. They utilize cutting-edge tools such as candidate tracking and analytics, as well as AI recruiting software, to automate the most time-consuming aspects of the search and accelerate the time-to-hire.

An essential component of our strategy is our unwavering dedication to diversity and inclusion throughout the recruitment process. We acknowledge the value that multiple perspectives can bring to a company, particularly in a field as broad and inventive as artificial intelligence. As such, we never discriminate against job seekers based on outward appearance, demographic factors, or personal beliefs.

This means we only examine candidates’ professional merits and compatibility with the company culture during our evaluation phase. This entails psychometric tests, competency screenings, and background and reference checks to verify employment history. Individuals who meet or surpass our expectations are shortlisted and presented to our client’s hiring manager for final interviews.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

Initially, we used a recruitment method that catered to a broad range of roles across the employment spectrum. While this was ideal for staffing high volumes of roles, it was less suitable for filling senior leadership positions. This was largely because it lacked the finesse required for locating candidates for high-level roles, overlooking their cultural alignment and other important factors that impact the success of a placement.

We made some unsuccessful hires as a result, but there was one placement in particular that changed the way we approach executive search and headhunting. As some of our team members may recall, we placed a candidate with a prominent firm seeking a senior executive during our early days as a recruiting firm. We made this placement in good faith, confident that the individual we recommended was competent for the role. However, it quickly became obvious that the candidate did not align with the ethos of our client’s firm.

This failure taught us the importance of tailoring our search method to each individual company to ensure the right fit. From this realization, our current approach was born. This allowed us to start sourcing senior talent for high-impact roles without sacrificing quality. Since adopting this approach, we have filled many vacancies at the top-most level of management with high success rates and built lasting relationships with our clientele.

Today, organizations around the world rely on the Keller name to pinpoint exceptional executive talent that can fuel innovation and growth.
