CAO Recruiters - Chief Administrative Officer Recruitment

The Role of Chief Administrative Officers

CAOs are responsible for the management and coordination of the teams and departments in an organization, as well as overseeing their core business activities. This can include the finance, IT, HR, legal, marketing, and communication departments. CAOs ensure that day-to-day functions in the organization align with its goals, values, vision, and mission. These executives are also responsible for ensuring compliance with any relevant policies, regulations, and laws. Additionally, a chief administrative officer is responsible for evaluating performance, resolving conflict, ensuring efficiency and productivity, and budgeting.

One of the challenges executives may face in the CAO position is needing to manage several complex tasks at once. They also need to navigate uncertain, changing environments in the industry. While this can be challenging, the role can also be very rewarding. Chief administrative officers develop and implement creative, innovative solutions that build relationships, improve their company’s image, and foster a more positive company culture.

Our Approach to Chief Administrative Officer Recruitment and Executive Search

Our bespoke CAO search approach is tailored using insights gained from our meetings with our clients. Having these meetings with the company leaders and relevant stakeholders allows our recruiters to learn more about their goals, organizational culture, and unique staffing needs.

As a recognized NPAworldwide partner, we are then able to access our extensive network of professional talent in order to find candidates who fit the bill. Our team carefully hand-selects the professionals who seem most suitable.

When selecting candidates, our team believes in the fair treatment of every professional. We are not biased against gender, race, age, religion, or self-expression. Instead, we select job seekers based purely on merit and suitability for our client’s vacancy. This forms part of Keller’s mission to foster a more diverse and inclusive labor market.

From there, all selected candidates undergo rigorous vetting to ensure that we provide only the most suited professionals. We run reference checks to authenticate each resume, as well as background checks to rule out any criminal records.

The job seekers who pass our screening process successfully are placed on a shortlist and handed over to our client so that they may proceed with final interviews.

Behind Keller's Tailored Recruitment Approach

Keller’s recruiters are known for their vast hands-on experience in finding and providing clients with talented candidates to fill their needs. Over the years, every experience we had has helped to guide our team in shaping the customized recruitment methodology our agency is recognized for. However, when our agency first began serving companies, we made use of a more generic method.

During that time, we were still partnering with a limited group of small organizations, and we made use of a generic approach. This still brought us some success, and soon we were approached by a bigger and more influential client than we had ever worked with. Confident in our generic methodology, we used it in this search as well and expected it to succeed.

Unfortunately, and much to the surprise of our team, the applicants we had suggested did not meet our client’s expectations. Even though they had the correct qualifications for the job, their values and leadership traits were not what our client had in mind for the position. Our client did not end up hiring any of our suggested candidates, and we were unable to place a candidate successfully as a result.

This experience, in particular, stands out in the memories of our headhunters for the transformative impact it had on our process. This experience taught us how limiting our cookie-cutter approach had been, and how valuable it would be to offer our clientele tailored services instead.

Since then, our team has developed and honed our approach. Through our tailored executive search services, we have achieved greater success than we ever thought possible. Our success has also inspired other search and recruitment agencies to follow suit, impacting the industry in a significant way. We have contributed to an improved global understanding of executive search, and we’ve built lasting relationships with our local clientele.
