Connecting Organizations With Top-Tier Diversity Leaders
Diversity Executive Recruitment
In recent years, companies and organizations across the globe have begun investing in diversity leaders to create programs that support an inclusive work environment. Diversity executives work to ensure there is equal opportunity for workers and that unconscious biases are prevented.
As a leading executive search firm, Keller helps companies bridge that gap. We partner with organizations from a wide range of industries and sectors in sourcing and placing the best talent for open roles in their diversity leadership team.
Our Approach to Diversity Executive Search
Our team of expert headhunters works to understand our clients’ business goals and needs and create a search strategy to help them achieve success. Our search also involves rigorous processes, including extensive background and reference checks to find the best fit.
Part of what makes our searches successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the search process. All candidates will be treated fairly and assessed only based on their merits.

Positions We Fill
As a leading diversity recruitment firm, Keller’s executive search practice is led by seasoned diversity recruiters who have spent decades designing and executing talent acquisition strategies for Fortune 100 corporations, high-growth scale-ups, universities, and non-profits. Because every organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda is unique, we refuse to confine our search to a static list of job titles. Instead, we begin with understanding the outcomes you need—whether it’s stronger diverse representation, sharper diversity metrics, a more inclusive company culture, or a richer talent pool. We then map the leadership competencies required to achieve them.
Our unique approach to recruitment enables us to place a wide spectrum of talents who can accelerate diversity initiatives, from board-level chiefs who architect global strategies to hands-on specialists who run inclusive learning and diverse talent acquisition programs. We source these experts from a broader range of industries and from underrepresented groups that traditional pipelines often overlook.
Part of what makes our services stand out is our commitment to presenting the best candidates from diverse backgrounds. To ensure only highly talented prospects are shortlisted and presented to clients, our recruiters combine proprietary market intelligence with structured interviews, behavioral assessments, and extensive validation of references to reduce bias and ensure fair, evidence-based hiring decisions. As a result, our clients routinely gain access to diverse candidates with a proven track record of driving business growth and making a significant impact from day one.
