Our Process

Our Services

As a premier executive search agency in Connecticut and a recognized NPAworldwide member, Keller understands the limitations of a cookie-cutter approach to executive search. For this reason, we instead offer our clients tailored staffing solutions to meet their requirements. Our team is made up of top-tier recruiters and consultants, each with many years of experience and expertise, as well as impressive professional and academic qualifications. This provides us with the valuable industry insights, technical knowledge, and specialized recruiting skill set needed to hand-select the cream of the crop from our international database of candidates.

At Keller, it is our mission to provide our clientele with the best service possible. We also provide a number of services outside of the recruitment process, such as HR Advisory services, organizational health services, and leadership development. Additionally, our team provides ongoing support and guidance before, during, and after the executive search process to ensure lasting results.

Our Process

We begin our recruitment process by first scheduling a meeting with our client, their hiring manager, and any other key stakeholders or decision-makers to determine the company’s unique requirements for prospective employees. This also includes gaining perspective on the role requirements and descriptions, possible challenges candidates may face, and the client company’s culture. This provides our passionate team of recruiters with crucial information and a clear outline needed to seek the best possible professionals for the job.

Once we have established these executive search parameters, we can launch into our recruitment process. Our recruiters access a vast, international network of professionals and carefully pinpoint those seemingly best suited to the role.

The selected candidates are then subjected to extensive screening, during which our recruiters perform personality testing to ensure a good cultural fit, as well as extensive background checks to verify resume references and screen for things such as criminal records.

This narrows our candidates down to a shortlist of the very best and most suited professionals, which we present to our clients so they may perform their own evaluation and interviewing process.

Our Expertise

Keller is home to a team of recruiters with extensive expertise in the staffing arena. This is, in part, due to our commitment to never stop learning. Our recruiters make it their mission to stay up to date on the latest developments in the field, the newest industry findings, technological advancements, and shifts in global and local labor market dynamics. This allows us to provide the best service possible.

As a result, Keller is recognized for our top-tier solutions, and our unique recruitment approach has had a significant effect on the staffing arena – forever changing the way executive search is understood and search efforts are conducted.

Why Keller Uses a Tailored Approach to Executive Recruitment

Keller’s team is known for, among other qualities, our many years of experience working and recruiting in the executive search arena. As a result, we have gained many valuable first-hand experiences that have shaped the way we approach recruitment and staffing.

In our formative years as a company, Keller’s team used a generic method for our executive search and recruitment process. This methodology had yielded relatively successful results with the limited base of smaller clients we’d had at the time, so we never saw fit to deviate from it.

However, our team members still recall vividly the project that changed our methodology forever. It was one of our earlier projects, wherein we were tasked with finding a senior executive for a big, important company. We followed our usual approach, thinking it would succeed again, and made the placement for said client.

This marks a pivotal point in Keller’s history.

Instead of succeeding, as we’d expected, our generic recruitment method caused the placement to fail. It became increasingly clear that the candidate we had selected not only did not have the skills needed to perform well in their new role but also that their work ethic and personality were misaligned with the client’s organizational culture.

While this was a challenging experience for our team, it made for a great learning experience in the long run. It taught us the many limitations of using a cookie-cutter recruitment approach, and we finally understood the importance of tailoring our approach to meet the individual needs of our clientele instead.

By adapting our approach, we have been able to achieve lasting success and enduring client relationships. We’ve helped companies from around the globe to find their ideal match and reach new heights.
