Executive Search Wollongong

Our Executive Search Process

We are committed to assisting our clients in filling open positions in their executive teams with the right people. To do so, we meet with our client, their company’s HR team, and any relevant stakeholders to determine their business needs and goals, the organisational culture, and their expectations for potential candidates.

Once our executive search team has identified role requirements and the potential challenges that come with the position, we begin sourcing the top talent in the job market by leveraging our extensive database of industry professionals. In addition, we make cold calls and send emails to “hard-to-reach” candidates and passive job seekers who may not be looking for a career change but may be interested in the right opportunity. Ongoing communication and engagement with our client help us keep the search aligned with changing priorities throughout the assignment.

Shortlisted candidates are rigorously assessed through background, criminal, and reference checks. We also assess each candidate for other more intricate factors, including their work ethic, management style, motivational drivers, and cultural alignment. We present these candidates to the client, who holds the final decision on who to hire for their leadership team.

Why Choose Keller Executive Search for Headhunting in Wollongong?

Part of what makes us a top search partner is our extensive experience in the field of executive search. Our executive search recruiters are industry experts who know how to source and fill open positions quickly without compromising the quality of the candidates.

Another reason why our placements are successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the executive recruitment process. All candidates are assessed and treated fairly, without any bias in relation to their age, beliefs, ethnicity, or gender.

While we are confident in the selection of candidates we present to clients, we cannot guarantee the outcome of any executive search. Factors and circumstances out of our control are always present, and sometimes placements do not work out. As such, we offer replacement coverage for the first 365 days of a new hire’s contract and pledge to find another suitable candidate to fill their place if the need arises.
