Engaging Executive Talent in Stockholm, Sweden
Keller is a leading executive search and recruitment company in Stockholm. We provide expert staffing services to businesses in several industries, offering them a reliable partner in talent acquisition. In a nutshell, our mission is to assist clients in locating exceptional talent to fill executive positions and other roles at their companies, thereby increasing their chances for long-term business success.
Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden and a prominent center for trade, finance, and technology in Europe. It is one of the 10 wealthiest regions in the European Union in terms of GDP per capita.
Stockholm’s businesses are largely reliant on foreign consumers to sustain the small Swedish market, making trade crucial to the economy. Most of the economy is, therefore, based on export-oriented services, mostly towards larger, nearby European markets like Germany or Poland. Tourism is also a major industry in Stockholm.
Keller’s bespoke recruitment solutions, attention to detail, and fast turnaround rates set us apart from other executive search firms in Stockholm, Sweden, and the rest of Europe.
Keller is a recruitment company that provides bespoke staffing solutions to businesses seeking the best talent in their respective industries. We do this by utilizing our extensive network and profound market knowledge, combined with the most recent advancements in recruitment technology. This strategy allows us to identify the most fitting candidates who will contribute to our client’s long-term business growth. Our team of executive search professionals is also available throughout the recruitment journey to answer any questions or concerns that the client might have.
We start the recruitment process by engaging with our client’s business leaders and other important stakeholders to establish key search criteria. This includes determining the job requirements and the company’s expectations for a candidate. This initial engagement is vital since it offers us a clear picture of what to look for, ensuring we deliver the right candidate according to our client’s needs.
Once the key search criteria have been defined, our team of recruitment consultants can begin analyzing the market. This involves leveraging our vast network of connections and membership with NPAworldwide to pinpoint professionals who would be a good match for our client’s requirements. Assisting us in this endeavor is our advanced recruitment technology that allows us to sort prospects based on their skills, education, and location (if needed).
After we have identified a potential fit for the position, we will perform a thorough evaluation of the individual’s background, criminal history, and references to verify their resume. Our assessment also encompasses psychometric tests, skill tests, and competency-based interviews to verify their compatibility with the company culture.
If the candidate passes the evaluation and initial interview stage, they will be introduced to the client, who has the final say on hiring.
Keller is distinguished from other headhunting firms in Stockholm for our personal touch. However, this wasn’t always the case. In Keller’s early years, we utilized a generic search method that overlooked the unique recruitment challenges of each client. It was only after a failed placement for a prominent client revealed the shortcomings of our cookie-cutter approach that we implemented our more customer-oriented strategy.
We had been tasked with finding a candidate for a senior management role at our client’s firm. Although the individual we had chosen had all the necessary technical skills to excel in the position, it soon became apparent that they were lacking in terms of their cultural fit. As a result, they failed to integrate into the client’s existing team and resigned shortly thereafter.
Although we were not prepared for this outcome, we realized we would need to modify our way of conducting searches if we hoped to achieve more successful placements. Thus, with the help of our talented recruitment team, we reformed our one-size-fits-all approach to one that could accommodate the individual needs of every customer.
Since adopting our revolutionized method, the Keller brand has become widely recognized with reliable, superior quality executive recruitment. Despite our global success, we are wary of becoming complacent in our ways, so we strive for continuous learning and keeping abreast with the most recent developments in our field.
Keller’s recruiting agents help companies secure talented job seekers with the skills to propel their organizations’ forward. They also find a way for candidates to integrate smoothly into their new roles so clashes between the different members of management can be avoided and productivity disruptions can be minimized.
That’s not all, though. Our consultants are also equipped to handle vacancies in various industries, from tech to finance roles and everything in between. Furthermore, they can help place individuals for job openings across every operational level, including mid to senior management.
In other words, you can have complete faith in Keller’s ability to locate the best talent on your behalf, no matter your needs.

It should also be noted that when we agree to redo a search, we will do so within the parameters that were initially agreed upon to avoid unnecessary delays.
Finally, any comments, questions, concerns, and inquiries will be handled with the utmost professionalism and respect for our clients.

An easy way to get noticed by an executive search or headhunting firm is by having an up-to-date social media profile on platforms like LinkedIn. Regularly posting content that is relevant to your field and reacting or leaving comments on other’s posts can also help to increase your visibility. Importantly, always keep your interactions professional and polite on these communication channels.
Another method of increasing your chances to meet executive search consultants is by attending conferences and other networking events. Accepting opportunities to be a speaker or panelist at these functions is also a good idea.
Finally, if you are aware of a good candidate for a open position that an executive search agent is currently handling, provide them with a referral. Again, use proper business etiquette when contacting them and avoid bombarding them with unnecessary messages.
At Keller, we use a comprehensive search process involving several steps. First, we establish our client’s hiring criteria so we know what to look for in prospective candidates. Next, we perform a broad search using the criteria we were given to identify as wide a talent pool as possible. We then approach these candidates to determine their interest in the role.
From here, we wittle it down further by screening each prospect in a stringent evaluation process that includes criminal background and reference checks and psychometric and skills assessments. Candidates who pass our evaluation successfully are presented to our client for final interviews, after which the client will decide who they want to hire.
Executive search is a type of recruitment that involves identifying, screening, and selecting professionals for niche or specialized positions, upper management roles, and C-suite vacancies. It can be a long-drawn-out process that requires a lot of an organization’s resources, which is one of the reasons many companies decide to hire an external firm to conduct a search on their behalf.
