Keller Executive Search prides itself on utilizing a tailored approach to recruitment to perform personnel searches and fill vacancies. We accomplish this via our extensive pipeline of active and passive job seekers, in-depth industry experience, and the latest recruitment technology.
This direct approach to headhunting enables us to deliver the most qualified employees to your company’s doorstep and ensure they will contribute to your business’s growth in the long run. It also gives our clients access to a pool of talent who may otherwise be difficult to find through traditional recruiting channels.
We initiate every assignment with a meeting to define the job search criteria. This includes whether the client is seeking a permanent or temporary employment solution, their expectations for a candidate, and the role requirements. This meeting is crucial for a successful search since it provides us with a clear profile for a candidate, thereby ensuring we supply the right individual for the job.
After establishing the job search criteria, our professional headhunters can begin their work, scouring through traditional recruitment channels and leveraging our network of connections to find the best candidates. Each individual who meets the criteria then undergoes an exhaustive screening process, during which our team verifies their technical expertise, verifies their references, and checks their background and criminal records.
If the candidate meets or exceeds all the requirements, we will present them to the client, who may conduct their own assessments and interviews to further verify our selection.

Part of what makes our executive search services successful is our recruitment process, which we’ve developed so it takes into account the more nuanced factors that affect the success of a hire. These factors include the demands of the role, the challenges of the industry’s job market, the company’s leadership structure, the qualities the candidates need to thrive, and cultural fit.
Our recruiters support companies across various industries in Vienna, with searches tailored to the demands of each sector. We recruit for organizations in banking and financial services, clean technology and sustainability, consumer goods, insurance, engineering, life sciences, manufacturing, information technology, professional and business services, tourism, and transportation and logistics.
In addition to working across a wide range of industries, we source the most suitable candidates for positions at different levels of seniority and across multiple business functions, including more niche roles. Our searches can include executive appointments such as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Chief Technology Officer, as well as leadership roles including Directors of Operations, Finance Directors, Human Resources Directors, and Sales Directors.
We also recruit for management, specialist, and commercial positions such as Business Development Managers, Data Scientists, IT Managers, Human Resources Specialists, Marketing Managers, and Sales Representatives. These roles are only examples of the positions we cover.
Our recruiters can also conduct searches for other leadership, technical, specialist, and hard-to-fill roles based on the specific needs of the client.

As a leading headhunting firm for various sectors in Vienna, we go above and beyond to source qualified individuals with the right skills to boost our client company’s performance. Our methods are proven to produce results, and we have access to the most recent research and developments in executive search and recruitment. Additionally, our extensive network of candidates means we can source talent for companies on both an international and local level.
Our position as an executive search and recruitment firm gives us clear insights into how a workforce can impact a company. This allows us to preemptively identify and address any employment or recruitment issues before they become problematic. Our commitment lies in offering services characterized by transparency, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. We strive to exceed expectations in fulfilling your recruitment needs by thoroughly considering each candidate’s qualifications, experience, and how well they align with the culture of your existing team, ensuring a seamless integration.
We understand the value that a diverse workforce can bring to a company. Because of this, we prioritize an inclusive approach in our executive search and recruitment practices. We, therefore, ensure that all candidates are evaluated using the same role-specific criteria, which focus on their experience, ability to lead, and sustainability for the position.
