Dallas-Fort Worth Executive Talent Market
There are 22 Fortune 500 companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Some of these are AT&T, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, Texas Instruments, and McKesson. The DFW metro area has a GDP of more than $600 billion, making it the fourth-largest metro economy in the US.
Dallas has been one of the best places in the country for businesses to move to. Recent additions include Charles Schwab, Caterpillar, AECOM, and PGA of America. Fortune 500 headquarters and high-growth companies are still drawn to the area because it has no state income tax, a lower cost of living than coastal markets, and a large pool of talented executives.
We have clients in Dallas County, Collin County, Denton County, and Tarrant County. Our Dallas office is in Uptown, Downtown Dallas, Victory Park, Deep Ellum, the Design District, and major business centers in the suburbs of Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Irving, Arlington, McKinney, and Allen.

Keller understands that expectations and resources vary from company to company, so we tailor our search services to meet each client’s unique needs. This flexibility is part of what makes Keller stand out among the country’s leading search firms, and it allows us to offer additional services over and above executive search and recruitment. These include corporate consulting, succession planning, talent development, and leadership coaching.
Our executive staffing agency focuses on more than finding the top talent in the market to fill open positions. We also prioritize looking for candidates who can give both multinational and local businesses a competitive advantage in this ever-dynamic market.
To help ensure a successful search, our team meets with the client and the company’s senior executives and stakeholders to understand the business, its needs and goals, and its organizational culture. We also identify our clients’ requirements for the role, the challenges of the position, and their expectations of potential candidates.
When our team has created a search strategy, we can begin mapping the market for high-caliber job seekers who can meet or exceed our client’s hiring needs. Our Dallas headhunters and executive recruiters also leverage our extensive talent network to connect with hard-to-reach executive talents across the Dallas-Fort Worth area who may not be actively looking for a new job but are interested in exploring opportunities.
All qualified candidates we identify during the search process will undergo rigorous screening that involves extensive background, criminal, and reference checks. Talents who pass this stage will be shortlisted and presented to the client for final interviews.
At Keller, each of our team members is highly qualified and has amassed extensive first-hand and professional experience over the years. These experiences have not only provided our recruiters with valuable skills, but have also changed and shaped the way we approach the executive search process.
During one of Keller Executive Search’s earliest projects, and perhaps the project our team remembers most vividly, we were tasked with finding a high-level executive for a prominent client. At that point, our team was still making use of a generic recruiting strategy, and we were confident it would work for this client, as it had in the past.
However, once the candidate we selected was placed with the client, it became apparent that their skills and experience level were not ideally suited to the client’s needs and expectations. The placement was unsuccessful, but we learned a valuable lesson, and this became a turning point for our recruiting firm. This experience taught our team the limitations of a generic approach to executive search and recruitment, as well as the value of using a tailored strategy instead.
Since then, this refinement has allowed Keller to assist numerous client companies from around the globe, including those in Dallas. As a result, our name has become synonymous with high-quality, reliable recruitment.
Throughout our collective two decades of experience in executive search and leadership consulting, each of Keller’s recruiters has acquired a deep understanding of market dynamics and the unique challenges and opportunities of today’s business landscape.
The combination of our highly qualified team and vast professional experience has made us a strategic partner for many firms across Texas, the United States, and the rest of the world.
Additionally, our leadership consulting firm dedicates itself to continuous learning, staying up to date with the latest findings and developments in the field, as well as technological advancements.

Essentially, executive recruitment centers around hiring C-suite and upper-management candidates. Unlike other forms of recruitment, it focuses exclusively on finding leaders for senior roles.
Executive recruiters generally charge a commission based on a percentage of a successful candidate’s total first-year salary. On average, the percentage ranges between 20% and 25%, but can be as high as 40% or as low as 15%. It depends on the type and seniority of the role being filled. Executive recruiters also operate under one of two payment models: contingency or retained.

Before deciding to collaborate with an executive search firm like Keller, it’s best to consider the pros and cons. It should also be pointed out that whether or not it will be worth it for your firm depends on your business needs, objectives, and budget.
It’s no secret that hiring an executive headhunter to handle your staffing needs can be costly. However, the benefits can far outweigh the expenses if you partner with the right firm. Additionally, keep in mind that executive search can be a very time-consuming and resource-heavy activity for most businesses to do on their own. This makes hiring the right person all the more important as hiring the wrong one can add to costs.
Partnering with an external headhunter can reduce some of the risk involved as most provide a guarantee on their placements, promising to find a better candidate if the first fails to live up to expectations. For the most part, however, these professionals ensure you hire the right candidate the first time, saving you unnecessary expenses down the line.
