Headhunters Dubai: Our Executive Search Process

With years of practical expertise, Keller’s dedicated team of knowledgeable and highly qualified recruiters regularly places senior executives at prestigious Dubai-based businesses. We provide an unrivalled service since our recruiters have high academic credentials, local expertise, and extensive industry knowledge. To better serve our clients, we are dedicated to ongoing improvement and keeping up with the most recent trends, insights, and advancements in the recruitment sector.

Our team goes above and beyond for each client, tailoring our executive search process to their specific talent acquisition needs. We recognise that no two businesses are alike and that a one-size-fits-all approach will not always result in candidates who share a company’s mission. Aside from our tailored strategy, we use our vast network and sophisticated talent mapping techniques to identify the most qualified candidates for each post.

Throughout the employment process, Keller’s recruiters are available to answer any questions or concerns. Beyond the official engagement, we are committed to professionalism and support, ensuring that clients and candidates are satisfied. Our dedication to quality has earned us global recognition and solidified our position as industry experts in executive recruitment.

Our Services

At Keller, we look for exceptional leaders who will support innovation and business growth with their technical knowledge while also fitting in with the company’s organisational culture. We don’t just fill jobs. Our executive search and recruitment agency offers a diverse range of specialist staffing services such as staff coaching, succession planning, and executive assessment.

Every one of our services is designed to give businesses a competitive advantage and assist in attracting top leadership talent.

Our Process

At Keller, we are committed to filling open functional key positions while also ensuring that our placements lead to our client company’s long-term success. To do this, our executive search team meets with the client, senior executives, board members, and any other relevant stakeholders to determine their business needs, strategic goals, and the organisational culture. During our meetings, we also work to establish what they require from the role, the potential challenges that come with the position, and what they expect in ideal candidates.

Once we’ve determined role requirements, our team of recruitment professionals begins mapping the market to identify top leadership talent. In addition to an extensive database of active and passive job seekers, we leverage our global network of industry experts for recommendations and referrals.

We assess and screen all leadership candidates identified during the search. Our screening process is rigorous and involves extensive background, criminal, and reference checks to determine each candidate’s fit for the role. All shortlisted candidates who pass the screening and assessment processes and meet or exceed hiring requirements are presented to the client.

A Tailored Executive Search Approach

When Keller started out, our executive search and recruiting process was quite regimented. We assumed that this strategy would be appropriate for any placement because it had proven effective in the past. However, some of our recruiters may recall a pivotal recruiting decision that altered how we approached an executive search for a client seeking senior talent for a leadership role.

As with previous placements, we entered this one confident that we would find the best match for the client. However, our advised candidate did not align with the client’s work culture or goals, resulting in disagreement with management and poor performance from the candidate.

This setback emphasised the necessity for a tailored approach and exposed the flaws in our previous hiring procedure. Since then, we’ve invested in improving and refining our processes, allowing us to effectively place more people than we could with our previous strategy.

Keller is currently recognised as a global executive search firm and an industry leader for consistently recruiting professionals who not only meet but surpass our clients’ expectations.
