Keller is a five-star executive search firm boasting a team of expert operations recruiters. We specialize in identifying top-notch operations professionals for businesses of all sizes and industries worldwide.
With fields like the healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries constantly adapting, technologically progressing, and experiencing market fluctuations, it has become essential to hire experienced operations talent. Employing the right candidates can ensure productivity, effectiveness, and agility in your business-providing you with the competitive edge needed to rise to the top. However, it can be a daunting task to find the right operations leaders in such an ever-changing landscape.
Keller helps simplify the recruitment process and find outstanding leadership talent for our clients’ operations teams. Our thorough understanding of the industry allows us to identify highly-qualified candidates with the skills required to excel in operations roles and drive efficiency and productivity at their organizations.
In an organization, the Operations Manager is responsible for supervising and optimizing the day-to-day functions and activities of an organization to ensure efficiency. Their duties include designing and implementing processes that maximize operational output, managing resources wisely, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations and internal policies.
The Operations Manager also oversees different departments, coordinates cross-functional teams, and performs functions such as financial management, quality control, inventory management, and human resources support. Additionally, they may head up leadership and training initiatives, monitor key performance indicators, and otherwise work to create a productive business environment. Overall, their work is vitally important in ensuring high-level strategies get translated into actionable plans that fuel organizational success across multiple domains.
To begin our executive search and recruitment process, we first attempt to fully understand your company, its goals, and your business culture. This equips our team of highly experienced and specialized operations recruiters with the necessary insights to identify any gaps among your current employees, as well as your unique needs for suitable candidates.
Once we complete our initial evaluation, we begin our search for the top operations professionals available using our large candidate database and NPAworldwide partnership to get recommendations and referrals. We focus on sourcing talent that has the skills and experience needed to help your company succeed, and value inclusivity as part of our sourcing strategy. This means we consider all candidates for employment regardless of their nationality, gender, age, or religious beliefs. This culminates in a diverse, curated shortlist of elite professionals tailored to your exact needs.
The next step in our approach involves meticulously assessing each candidate from the shortlist. We perform rigorous criminal record, background, and reference checks to verify their resumes and examine other factors like work ethic, personality, and motivational drivers. This helps us determine their cultural alignment with the position.
With our assessments complete, we present the list of qualified talent to your hiring manager, who ultimately decides who to hire for the Operations Manager role.
Keller has dedicated many years to refining our executive recruitment process to ensure it delivers talent that surpasses our clients’ expectations. This was fueled by our realization that generic search approaches rarely produce good outcomes when it comes to recruiting candidates for leadership roles. This is because these approaches often overlook the various factors that impact the success of a placement.
In contrast, our tailored approach takes all the nuances and demands of our clients’ organizations and industries into account at the onset of every search. By doing so, we maximize the possibility of finding the right talent for a role.
We developed our current approach after our previous cut-and-dry method resulted in a poor candidate match for an important client. This unfortunate incident demonstrated the shortcomings of that approach and taught us a valuable lesson about considering our customers’ needs, goals, and expectations.
From this, our customer-oriented approach was born. We now excel at delivering the best candidates for our clients’ leadership teams, ensuring they not only possess the technical expertise to meet the job description but also the right mindset and qualities to align with the company culture. As a result, the Keller brand has skyrocketed to success; landing more successful placements than ever before and promoting improved employee retention.
To ensure we continue to provide the high-quality search service we are renowned for, we keep abreast of current and emerging market trends, salary benchmarks, and talent availability in a variety of sectors and fields so we might better help our client companies in making informed hiring decisions.

Operations Managers play a pivotal role in supervising and coordinating the day-to-day activities of a business to keep its operations running smoothly and efficiently. They are responsible for managing a range of aspects, such as quality control, resource allocation, inventory management, and production.
Operations Managers are also involved in supervising, hiring, and training employees, setting performance goals, and fostering a productive work environment. Ultimately, these professionals are vital for streamling systems and processes, controlling costs, upholding quality standards, and driving continuous improvement across the organization.
The seven main functions of operations management include:
To hire an Operations Manager, you first need to identify your business’s specific operational needs and craft a job description that includes the desired skills and responsibilities required for success in the role. Also, assess which areas of your business could do with improvement with the help of your leadership team.
Next, you can either engage a recruitment firm like Keller to find a diverse pool of qualified candidates on your behalf, or you can share the position internally, on job boards, or professional networks. Once you have gathered applications, you or your hiring manager can begin to shortlist candidates based on whether or not they meet your requirements.
You can then schedule interviews and send out skills and personality assessments to determine technical expertise, interpersonal skills, and cultural fit. You will also need to conduct reference checks to verify candidates’ employment history and leadership experience. Once you have identified your ideal candidate, you can extend them an offer.
Note that Keller can perform all of the above tasks for you, streamlining the process and resulting in faster time-to-hire. We also offer onboarding support and a 90-day guarantee to ensure the new hire integrates successfully into your team.
