Moreover, our Boston recruiters are always ready to offer support and counsel during the entire search process.
We begin the hiring process by talking to the head decision-makers at our client’s company to determine the criteria for the job search. This entails drawing up a profile of what we need to look for in the perfect candidate, their day-to-day tasks, and the possible challenges the role might present. This information forms the keystone of our search for the ideal talent and ensures we deliver on our client’s instructions. Once the criteria for the search have been established, our consultants can begin their inquiries.
All the candidates our team encounters during the search process are thoroughly screened and evaluated to verify whether they meet our client’s demands. This comprises rigorous criminal history, background, and reference checks to confirm their identities, skills, and expertise. Job candidates who successfully pass the assessment phase will be presented to the client for further consideration.
Keller comprises a group of dedicated consultants and recruitment experts. Each member of our team has extensive professional and personal experience, which has profoundly shaped our approach to executive search.
When Keller first began the journey of recruitment, our team relied exclusively on a standardized recruitment method that seemed to work well enough for our limited client base. For this reason, we didn’t deem it necessary to change it.
Our team still vividly remembers when we reached a turning point, however. We had partnered with a significantly larger client, and we were tasked with finding a senior executive to complete their leadership team. Confident that it would succeed as before, we applied our generic recruitment strategy to find a candidate.
Unfortunately, and to our surprise, the placement failed. The candidate we had provided was not up to scratch and was unable to meet the needs of our client.
While this was a challenging experience for our team and our firm, it did highlight the limitations of the one-size-fits-all strategy we had been using in our searches. Additionally, it taught us the importance of employing a tailored strategy to meet the needs of clients like this one.
Ever since this experience, our team has been honing and refining our approach to executive search with the goal of leaving a lasting impression on the staffing arena; among employers and job seekers alike.

Executive search refers to the process of identifying and attracting candidates for executive roles. In other words, it is recruitment focused solely on high-level positions.
Keller is a staffing agency that specializes in this form of recruitment. We pride ourselves on our quality of service and our dedication to meeting our clients’ hiring needs.
When Keller conducts searches for executive talent on behalf of our hiring companies, our recruiters carefully select candidates from our global network, job postings, and social media like LinkedIn.
Thus, one of the easiest ways to get noticed by executive recruiting firms like ours is by developing a strong online presence. This means creating a professional and up-to-date social media profile with all your most recent career-related achievements and academic qualifications.
Alternatively, you can try sending your CV directly to these firms. Most of the time, they will have a website with contact details or an option to upload your documents directly to the site.
Many executive recruiting firms’ fees are based on a percentage of what a successful candidate will earn during their first year at the company they were recommended to. This percentage fee differs from one firm to the next, but the average is around 20-25%. Note that executive search firms also base their prices on the type and seniority of the role they are requested to filll. Thus, they may charge more to find a suitable candidate for a C-suite role than, say, a project manager. This can be a significant investment for a business, but the benefits often far outweigh the expense.
Speak to one of Keller’s consultants today to get the full rundown on our pricing model.
“Executive recruiter” and “headhunter” are sometimes used synonymously to refer to a professional who locates candidates for vacancies at companies, typically for mid- to senior-level roles. There are several small differences between them, however—mostly with regard to their specialties and approaches. Executive recruiters, for example, may take longer to fill roles as they tend to prioritize quality over speed.
The biggest difference is their payment structure. Executive recruiters frequently charge an upfront fee to perform a tailored search for a client, which means they operate on a retained payment model. Headhunters, on the other hand, tend to work on a contingency basis, meaning they only make money when a candidate they place gets hired.
