Executive Search London

Our Headhunting and Executive Search Process

Our Services

As one of the leading executive search firms in London, it is our mission to help organizations achieve long-term success through our stellar headhunting services. Our services are tailored to the specific needs of each of our clients, breaking away from the generic one-fits-all approach to headhunting and recruitment many agencies use.

In our nearly two decades of collective personal and professional experience, we have come to understand that these types of generic approaches to recruitment often fail to meet client requirements and result in subpar placements. With cookie-cutter methodologies, job seekers who are eager to advance with their next career move could end up in work environments that are not suited to them, and employers can find that the placed employees simply do not live up to their expectations.

Instead, our search firm decided to develop and offer customized headhunting solutions unlike any other.

At Keller, we value the privacy and security of our clients. Our services are conducted with the utmost respect for the safety and confidentiality of the organizations we serve, and we commit ourselves to responsible and ethical practices in everything we do.

Our Process

To ensure that our searches are successful, we begin our process by identifying the business’ needs and goals, the organization’s culture, the role requirements, and what is expected from the candidate in terms of their competencies and leadership traits.

Once these parameters have been established, the next step for our team is sourcing industry experts who meet, or perhaps even exceed, our client’s hiring requirements. Our team of expert executive recruiters makes use of a combination of traditional and unconventional methods to find the perfect candidates. We access job boards, get referrals from our partners, and access our international candidate database. Through our recognized NPAworldwide partnership, Keller gains a global presence that allows us to source individuals in London and around the world.

All candidates we identify during this search go through a rigorous assessment and screening process, which involves extensive background, criminal, and resume reference checks. We also assess candidates for other, more intricate factors, including their cultural alignment, management style, motivational drivers, personality types, and work ethic.

This results in a shortlist of talent ideally suited to our client’s needs. The final step in our process is providing said client with this shortlist so that they may conduct interviews and make the final hiring decision.
