Functions
Keller is widely recognized as as a leader in the field of marketing recruiting. We are known for the extensive knowledge and specialized skills of our marketing headhunters, as well as their many years of hands-on experience placing top-notch marketing professionals in companies around the world.
To achieve financial success, companies need to create, enhance, and protect their brand. The marketing success of a company relies on deploying a dynamic, wide-reaching social media presence. These can include e-commerce, consumer apps, client relations, and traditional communication mediums.
Marketing has evolved into a two-way conversation that is experiential and interactive. In today’s corporate landscape, the transactional, one-way conversation method of marketing products and brands is a thing of the past.
At Keller, we understand this better than anyone. For this reason, we aim to provide our clientele with the best candidates for their needs, thereby aiding in their success. Our executive search firm achieves this by utilizing our extensive recruitment expertise and our recognized NPAworldwide membership, which allows us access to a global pool of talent.
Additional services we provide include support throughout the onboarding and hiring process, as well as the development of strategies to improve employee retention.
At Keller, we boast an extensive knowledge of local and global markets, premium staffing solutions, and a tailored approach that have helped us build an enduring reputation for reliability and quality in the marketing recruitment industry.
Marketing directors are responsible for developing marketing strategies/tactics and overseeing the execution thereof, as well as the development of marketing campaigns and marketing initiatives to support company operations. In this way, they play a key role in the success of their organizations and the promotional efforts of their marketing teams. Other duties of marketing directors typically include managing projects and the marketing budget, overseeing different aspects of projects, interpreting campaign results, and ensuring law and regulation compliance.
Marketing directors are creative brand strategists known for their excellent interpersonal skills, impressive communication, and ability to think in an innovative way.
Marketing directors are in high demand due to the ever-broadening scope of marketing channels and an increasing reliance on digital marketing efforts. The marketing industry is also competitive, with many professionals competing for leadership roles.
In such a saturated industry, it can be difficult for employers to find the right professional and for marketing executives to find the right business. That is where external agencies like Keller can help.
Our passionate team is known for the extensive qualifications (both academic and professional) of its members. These qualifications, combined with our market knowledge and commitment to quality, make us the perfect recruitment partner. To help companies achieve their marketing goals, Keller aims to provide them with the perfect strategic thinker for their needs.
At Keller, it is our mission to provide our clientele with candidates that align with the job specifications and have the ability to integrate seamlessly with their company culture.
Our process begins with a meeting with our clients and vital decision-makers in their company. The purpose of this meeting is for our team to gain a deep understanding of our clients’ requirements. We strive to understand which attributes you require in a new marketing department member, including qualities such as leadership style, work ethic, and personality type. We also establish the qualifications or degree requirements and desired level of experience. Additionally, our experts use this meeting to identify the challenges of the role and work duties prospective hires will need to perform according to their job description. Working closely with our clients ensures the greatest chance of success for your organization.
We use these insights to determine search parameters. Then, Keller’s team employs a meticulous executive search method and during which we focus on identifying top talent in the marketing sector who meet these parameters. During our search, we also keep industry trends and labor market dynamics in mind. Additionally, we tap into Keller’s vast network of talent to find the very best candidates available.
These potential candidates then undergo a rigorous screening process wherein we ensure their resumes and references are valid, and make use of advanced psychometric tests to ensure they fit the requirements for personality, leadership style, and work ethic. This ensures a good cultural match between candidates and clients.
Those who pass through our vetting successfully are shortlisted.
Upon concluding our executive search, we provide clients with this list of qualified candidates, whose knowledge and skills are tailored to meet and exceed their marketing recruiting needs. The client can then continue with the interview process and select a suitable new hire.
Over the years, Keller’s team has amassed a wealth of first-hand experience recruiting top talent to assist organizations with their marketing activities. These first-hand experiences have guided us throughout our agency’s history, and one experience has been particularly memorable for our team due to its catalytic effect on our firm and our executive search approach.
In our formative years as a search agency, Keller served a modest client base. As their needs were similar, we were able to provide them with moderately successful outcomes using a generic recruitment method. However, as our agency grew, so did the group of organizations we served. Soon we were hired by a large, influential company in need of a marketing leader.
Our previous success had made us confident in this cookie-cutter approach and we applied it to this project as well.
To our surprise, it was not successful this time. The candidates we provided were qualified enough for the role, but their personalities and leadership styles did not align with our client’s company culture. As a result, we were unable to make a successful placement.
While this was a difficult experience for our team, it taught us some valuable lessons that changed the way we viewed executive search. We finally realized how limiting a generic, one-fits-all approach to recruiting can be. We also learned the value of offering a personal approach with staffing solutions tailored to the unique needs of each business we serve.
Since adapting our methodology, Keller has achieved great success and fostered lasting client relationships.
By helping to shape the way recruitment is understood worldwide, we have also had a significant impact on the search industry.
Since then, Keller’s experts have also committed themselves to continuous learning in order to stay abreast of the latest developments, findings, and technological advancements in the field. This flexibility allows us to continually improve our offerings and assist our clientele in navigating the ever-evolving labor market.
At Keller, we go to great lengths to ensure a successful placement for your company. However, because we understand that even the best search methods can never be completely foolproof, we also offer our clientele additional assurance.
Should the candidate chosen from our list prove to be an unsuitable match for your business or leave the company before their first three months of employment ends, Keller will provide a more suitable marketing leader free of charge.
