Transforming Local Businesses with World-Class Executive Search
Keller is one of the top executive recruiting firms Copenhagen has to offer, with a dedicated team of recruiters who understand the ins and outs of the industry. We serve both local and international clients, and our services are tailored to our clients’ requirements to ensure optimal employer-to-candidate matching. In addition to our executive search services, we provide assistance with succession planning, onboarding, and compensation consulting, to name a few.
Copenhagen has been an important regional center of power since the 17th century when it hosted the Danish military and government. The city maintains its importance as an urban center in modern times, serving as an economic powerhouse and the seat of Denmark’s government.
The city’s economy is robust and comprises several key industries. Financial services is the most prominent, followed by information and communication technology (ICT), life sciences, and cleantech. In recent years, the pharmaceutical sector has been growing in leaps and bounds, with companies like Novo Nordisk contributing to Denmark’s economic expansion.
Copenhagen’s job market is generally strong, with a high demand for skilled workers across various sectors and a low unemployment rate. Despite this, employers still face challenges in acquiring the right people to join their teams, especially for healthcare, IT, and technical engineering roles, where the competition for talent is fierce.
Keller is poised to assist businesses in Copenhagen with navigating these problems, providing a holistic recruitment approach that considers our clients’ companies as a whole.
Keller’s search process has changed dramatically since our inception, when we employed a cookie-cutter approach to recruitment. Though we initially believed this method was sufficient, we soon realized its biggest flaw: it did not consider the unique differences between our clients’ businesses.
This resulted in a failed placement for a major client who had hired us to locate a suitable individual for a senior-level vacancy at their firm. While this was not the result we wanted for the client, we took this incident as an opportunity to reform our search process and adopt a more flexible, customer-oriented approach. This allowed us to customize our solutions to our customers’ exact needs, resulting in more successful placements than before.
This strategic shift enabled us to cement our position as a leading executive search and recruitment agency in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the rest of Europe. To make sure we continue to live up to our brand’s reputation, we are devoted to continuous learning and keeping abreast of current and emerging trends, developments, and concerns in the industry.
Keller provides personalized recruitment solutions to help businesses secure top-tier candidates who will lead their organizations to success.
To achieve this, our recruiters engage in close collaboration with our clients’ HR teams to become acquainted with their hiring processes and what distinguishes them from competitors in their respective industries.
We also assist companies in navigating other difficulties related to executive search and recruitment, such as organizational change in the form of mergers and acquisitions or leadership transitions.
When starting a new assignment, the first step we take is meeting with the client’s business leaders to establish a detailed candidate profile. This allows us to clarify the technical and soft skills they seek in applicants, as well as specifics about the vacancy itself, such as daily duties, challenges, and employment type (e.g., temporary or full-time).
Our recruitment specialists then start to scour our candidate database for professionals who match the criteria we outlined in the previous step. We also utilize advanced applicant-tracking software to sift through candidates more efficiently, increasing the speed of our search.
After identifying a suitable talent pool, we thoroughly assess each job seeker to confirm their alignment with the hiring company’s objectives and values. As part of the process, we conduct psychometric tests, behavioral interviews, and comprehensive checks of each candidate’s employment history, professional references, and criminal record.
This culminates in a shortlist of rigorously vetted candidates who have the potential to excel in their new position, which we introduce to the client for final interviews.
Keller’s ability to identify the right talent for any vacancy is made possible by our deep understanding of local industry trends, seasoned recruiters, vast professional network, and commitment to excellence. We go beyond simply reviewing resumes, ensuring the individuals we put forward align with every aspect of our clients’ requirements.
