They have a comprehensive understanding of Mumbai’s various economic sectors, and our vast professional network enables us to source candidates both locally and abroad.

Mumbai is the most heavily populated city in India with more than 20 million residents. It is a hub for finance, trade, commerce, and media. The city is often likened to New York, with the Reserve Bank of India and Bombay Stock Exchange being headquartered there.
Mumbai also serves as the base of operation for many of the world’s largest multinational corporations, including five Fortune Global 500 companies. Additionally, the city is home to some of India’s top scientific and nuclear institutions, as well as the thriving “Bollywood” entertainment industry.
Mumbai’s diverse economy provides career opportunities across various industries, from highly skilled roles in IT and finance to positions in services and manufacturing. However, the job market is not without its challenges, as employers continue to face shortages of skilled workers in fields that are in high demand, such as finance and technology. Moreover, Mumbai’s high cost of living contributes to the challenges employers are facing in attracting and retaining a skilled workforce.
Keller’s meticulous approach to executive search has helped many Mumbai-based enterprises get access to the professionals they need for their businesses to thrive.
Keller’s approach to staffing executive roles wasn’t always as successful as it is today. In the beginning, we were much like other recruitment firms that utilize a generic hiring method. However, once we’d set our ambitions on becoming an executive search and headhunting agency, we quickly realized the problem with our existing approach.
In fact, it was during a search for a prominent client that we learned a standardized methodology is rarely effective for hiring specialized or senior management roles. Although we succeeded in identifying a candidate with all the necessary technical qualifications and skills for the role, we failed to consider their cultural fit. This made them a poor match for the rest of our client’s team and led to their untimely resignation.
After this incident, we reevaluated our recruitment strategy and adopted a more multifaceted approach that would enable us to accommodate requests for high-profile searches. True enough, since making this adjustment, there has been a notable improvement in the number of successful placements for upper management and C-suite level opportunities.
This strategic pivot also positively affected our ranking among other recruitment firms, facilitating our rise to greatness as one of the top headhunting agencies in Mumbai and the wider region. At present, we are focused on preserving our reputation through continuous growth and development and staying informed about developing trends and concerns in the industry.
Keller supplies companies in Mumbai with the human capital they require to thrive. We accomplish this through our bespoke recruitment services, which necessitates us working closely with our clients’ HR teams to understand the nature of their hiring processes.
In addition to recruiting the best candidates for career opportunities at our client firms, Keller offers a range of supportive business services. For example, onboarding new employees, planning for the next generation of leaders, developing attractive salary and benefits packages, and training existing team members.
Although we tailor our recruitment approach to meet each client’s individual needs, the process we use for every project is generally the same from start to finish. Allow us to elaborate.
First, we schedule a consultation with the client to establish their desired traits for potential hires. In other words, the technical and soft skills job applicants are required to have in order to be considered for the role. We also gather information about the position itself, such as the employment contract type (e.g., permanent, short-term, or temp-to-hire) and daily duties. These details inform our search and tell us what to look out for in professionals.
After having developed this comprehensive blueprint, our Mumbai recruiters can begin mapping the market for the best candidate. Our advanced candidate-tracking technology makes the search faster and more efficient, enabling us to filter applicants by the client’s requirements.
The candidates we have identified by the end of the previous step are the ones we subject to our thorough vetting procedure. This includes conducting skills-based interviews, psychometric assessments, and in-depth background and reference checks to confirm their suitability for the role.
The individuals that remain on the shortlist after we have completed our assessments we introduce to the client. From here, it is up to the client to decide who they want to join their team.
At Keller, we owe our success to our recruiters’ deep understanding of the local market, our extensive industry contacts, and our commitment to superior quality standards.

An executive recruiter works to identify, attract, and place professionals in leadership positions within organizations. They collaborate closely with the hiring company to understand their business goals, culture, and specific requirements for the executive role. They often utilize extensive networks and don’t limit their search for suitable candidates to those actively seeking new jobs like regular recruiters. Instead, they also approach individuals who are already employed.
Generally, executive recruiters and headhunters only receive payment when their placements are successful. The typical fee ranges from 20% to 25% of the new hire’s total salary for the first year, but this rate can be more or less based on the type of position being filled.
Keller’s success fee is 18%. Reach out to us for a comprehensive breakdown of our pricing.
