Keller’s approach to recruitment has been shaped by the unique personal and professional experiences of our team.
During Keller’s formative years as a company, our team exclusively used a one-size-fits-all recruitment strategy. A turning point for our team came when we were called on to place a candidate for a major client and it failed. Even though our strategy had worked for our past clients, it was not good enough this time. It soon became evident that the candidate we placed did not have the skills and experience needed to fulfill the client’s needs.
This experience, while still a failure, highlighted the shortcomings of using a generic approach to recruitment. It also motivated our team to adopt a more customized, client-first strategy. Instead of generalized staffing solutions, Keller focuses on finding candidates who meet the unique needs of our clientele.
This has allowed us to not only achieve long-term success as an agency, but also build lasting relationships with our clients and help numerous businesses from around the world.

Typically, executive recruiters only make money when their placements succeed (i.e., when a professional they recommend gets hired). In general, their fees can range between 20% and 25% of the candidate’s total compensation for their first year working at the hiring company, but this percentage can change depending on the seniority of the position being filled.

Executive recruiters and headhunters refer to professionals who find candidates to fill specific job roles at companies. While they are frequently used interchangeably, there are slight differences in their approaches and specialties. For instance, headhunters sometimes work to fill roles faster than executive recruiters.
There are also differences between their payment models. Headhunters often function on a contingency fee structure, meaning they only earn money when they make a successful placement. Conversely, executive recruiters tend to operate on a retained basis. This means they charge an upfront fee to conduct a customized search for a client and often develop long-term relationships with them as a result.
Whether it’s better to hire a headhunter or a recruiter depends on your company’s needs. If you need to fill roles at the executive level, then engaging the help of a headhunter is the answer since they typically identify professionals for senior-level positions. Regular recruiters, on the other hand, usually recruit for more generic, entry- to mid-level roles and can assist with filling multiple positions at once.
