Keller Executive Search provides international recruitment and subsidiary HR services to clients in a wide range of industries and at all management levels. While our core competency is recruiting top talent, our established team works with clients throughout the entire hiring cycle, from the initial search to a successful, long-term placement.
With a social market economy that is export-oriented, developed, and high-income, the Czech Republic is a great place to do business. Its manufacturing and services sectors are strong enough to maintain a welfare state. It is a member of the EU, although it does not use the euro yet.
We pride ourselves on providing top-notch, tailored recruitment services, and we commit ourselves to prompt turnaround times that deliver great results.
The Czech Republic has a GDP worth approximately 350B euros and about 11 million people, making it an important executive talent market in the Central European region. It also boasts one of the more industrialized economies in the region and has one of the highest levels of manufacturing in GDP across the wider European Union. It is also the largest car manufacturer in Central and Eastern Europe, and one of the leading producers of vehicles per capita in the world. The country also boasts strong engineering, machinery, electronics, and glass markets. The Czech Republic hosts Charles University in Prague, the oldest university in Central Europe. It was founded in 1348 and is still open today.
The biggest companies based in the Czech Republic include popular brands like ČEZ, Škoda Auto, Agrofert, PPF Group, Komerční banka, and EPH. These companies operate in the energy, automotive, agriculture, investment, and banking fields. Executives are in high demand across the country’s most important industries like automotive and advanced manufacturing.

Keller Executive Search’s purpose is to help clients in the Czech Republic and globally find, recruit, and hire the right talent for their organizations. We also offer ongoing support and retention strategies for that talent, and rigorous candidate screening to ensure every placement is able to perform at their best on the job.
Besides recruitment, we deliver a full range of solutions from consulting and leadership development programs to advice on how to optimize HR processes, improve workplace efficiency, and reduce employee workload. When the integration of a new hire is strained, our consultants can also provide additional support to help the team settle.
Our consultants are available for the full length of the engagement and can be brought in at any point an organization needs us. This way, effective communication keeps clients informed and quickly updated on the search process, and any problems that arise are solved without delay.
Our recruitment process begins with a meeting to discuss the needs of our clients in terms of prospective employees and the role they will be filling. We also aim to gain a deep understanding of the intricacies of our clients’ business.
Once we have gained these insights, we begin the process of identifying suitable candidates and screening them. These candidates are then compiled into a shortlist we can provide our clients with, from which they can select the candidates they wish to interview, and we welcome their feedback at every step.
Our process ensures that each candidate we provide is best suited for their new role and has the ability and expertise needed to drive success in your business.

Keller Executive Search has the global reach needed to serve companies from around the world, including those based in the Czech Republic, due to our global offices and broad database of industry professionals. We are also home to a talented group of recruitment experts and experienced consultants known for their professionalism. Our team has collective experience of nearly 20 years and countless projects in the field of recruitment, which gives us in-depth knowledge of both local and global market trends.
Overall, the Czech Republic is considered a great place to live with a high quality of life and low rental and living costs. Furthermore, healthcare costs and crime rates are also low. The high level of professional knowledge is a good foundation for the future and makes for an attractive business atmosphere.
At Keller Executive Search, we are dedicated to serving a wide range of industries. Our team of hand-picked recruiters are specialists in their field and can therefore provide professional advice no matter the scope of the mandate.
While the list below is not exhaustive, this is a good snapshot of just some of the markets we have recruited for in the Czech Republic in the past:
Our primary focus, and the mandates we most often recruit for, is at the executive level, with roles such as: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, board members, and regional heads. Our expertise enables a quick and efficient identification of suitable candidates, many times those who are passive professionals not actively seeking a new job, across a broad spectrum of industries, including automotive, engineering, manufacturing, IT, finance, life sciences, and retail.
In the past, we have also placed several professionals in Senior Management positions, including Sales Managers, Sales Directors, Commercial Directors, and Operations Managers. Given how important it is for us to find the right person, our identification process is not limited to talent and education. Our team also looks at critical qualities like work ethic and their ability to integrate into a new corporate culture.

Our executive search services may be international, but we also understand how important domestic knowledge is for hiring practices. Another thing we consider carefully during executive search is how resource-heavy a search procedure can be.
It is not uncommon for a business not to have the resources to spare to execute such projects successfully on its own. Working in cooperation with an external company to conduct the search is a good way to ensure success and reduce stress on the in-house human resources department. As a leading provider of executive search services, we have access to a wide international network of partners. This network gives us the ability to reach a wide net of potential candidates that would otherwise not have been available. Part of our hiring process also involves the need for professionals to transition into new positions smoothly and efficiently at every stage.

Keller Executive Search has a broad range of services that our professional executive recruiters can deliver, covering many industries and management positions. We don’t just recruit candidates: we screen them thoroughly to make sure they are a good cultural fit for our clients.
We understand the importance of sensitivity to the finer details of company culture and the major impact that a poor cultural fit can have. Our partners are domestic experts in specialized headhunting, while also drawing on collaboration with our wider team of recruiters. Furthermore, local consultants are also in touch with the ever-changing headhunting climate and can identify any changes that must be made to accommodate new trends and requirements.
When we recruit for companies, we also screen candidates carefully before we present them to our clients. Screening checks candidates for many different things, from criminal records to cultural fit. These screenings help ensure that the right, fit-for-purpose leadership candidate is presented to the right organization, so that the new hire can step into their role successfully. When a candidate is a poor fit, the existing team will be under strain, which can have a negative impact on productivity.
We stand behind every placement we make, with full transparency. If the selected candidate we place leaves within the first year, or simply isn’t the right fit, we’ll conduct the search again at no cost to deliver the perfect replacement. This replacement program applies for the first 365 days of the candidate’s employment.
