Functions
Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs) hold several different responsibilities in an organization, including overseeing administrative operations and managing the company’s finances for specific uses. In addition, CAOs also help ensure that each department is meeting its goals and that the company is using its funding in the most effective ways.
Despite the importance of finding the right executive for the role, it can be difficult to look for the best talent with the skills and mindset to take on a challenging position and excel.
As a leading executive search firm, Keller helps companies bridge that gap. We assist clients in a wide range of industries and sectors in sourcing, hiring, and retaining transformative leaders capable of thriving in the role and helping the business achieve its goals.
Our approach to executive search is bespoke and is tailored using insights gained from our meetings with our clients and their company’s stakeholders, the organizational culture, and their business goals and needs. This ensures we are only presenting our client’s candidates who can meet their expectations and bring with them strategies to help improve business operations.
Our search process is rigorous and involves extensive background, criminal, and reference checks. We also perform social reviews and process police checks, where necessary.
Part of what makes our searches successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion. All candidates are treated fairly and assessed without any biases in relation to their age, belief, ethnicity, and gender.
At Keller, we partner with companies across a wide range of industries and sectors in sourcing candidates to fill open Chief Administrative Officer roles. Some of the industries we work in include:
As a leading chief administrative officer recruiter, Keller conducts a disciplined executive recruitment process that consistently delivers top-tier talent for complex leadership roles. Drawing on decades of in-house experience as recruiters and former senior operational leaders, our team knows how to evaluate the strategic, financial, and regulatory pressures that shape each organization in the sector. This insight allows us to move quickly—from defining the candidate profile through to onboarding while maintaining confidentiality, due diligence, and cultural alignment.
Part of what makes our executive search services stand out is our commitment to only presenting the top talent. Our goal is to place executive leadership whose skills, career aspirations, and culture fit to align with the demands of our clients—whether it be a chief administrative officer who must reposition a business after restructuring; a chief executive officer to overhaul service delivery; or a head of corporate affairs who can navigate stakeholder expectations and regulatory compliance in heavily scrutinized sectors.
Another factor that differentiates Keller is our evidence-based methodology, refined across hundreds of executive recruiting assignments. We benchmark every shortlist against industry-specific performance data, verify achievements with 360-degree referencing, and stay engaged well beyond placement to ensure measurable success in the role. If your organization requires top talent to fill a critical leadership role, we mobilize extensive research resources and utilize a global network to surface ideal candidates. Keller has the knowledge, reach, and focus to deliver.
When you partner with Keller, you are partnering with a team of professional headhunters with vast experience in the field, having worked in the same or similar domain. Our knowledge of the industry allows us to quickly source and place the best talent without compromising the quality of the candidates.
Apart from our experience in the field, we also have access to an extensive network of administrative professionals who can meet and exceed client hiring requirements. We also send out hundreds of cold calls and emails to reach executives who may be looking for new opportunities.
At Keller, we place great importance on maintaining confidentiality and professionalism at all stages of the search. Any information provided to us by our clients will be handled with utmost discretion.
Our headhunters are dedicated to finding the perfect match for your business. To ensure successful placements, we offer a 180-day guarantee. If the hired executive fails to meet client expectations within the first six months, we will redo the search at no additional cost to you.
Keller is committed to helping you secure strategic leadership and boost your business operations.
