Project Management Recruiters

The Role of Project Managers

The task of managing and executing projects is the responsibility of program and project managers. This requires mastering various important skills, such as leading teams of any size by motivating members.

Project managers plan, organize, and direct projects and ensure that they are completed within the agreed-upon scope, budget, and deadlines. They oversee complex endeavors from start to finish, which allows them the potential to shape the trajectory of their organization and help to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and increase company revenue.

Project management duties typically vary between industries and organizations. However, all project managers’ responsibilities include a project life cycle, regardless of sector. The cycle contains five stages, namely: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring, and Closing. Throughout the life of a project, project managers return to these processes continually.

Other responsibilities of project managers include communicating with team members and stakeholders, identifying issues and finding resolutions, budgeting, managing time and approving timesheets, and building teams.

Our Approach to Project Management Executive Search and Recruitment

We start our executive search process by immersing ourselves in the practices and culture of your business. This gives our headhunters valuable insights and a chance to assess your unique requirements for project management candidates. These requirements can then be compared to present employees to pinpoint areas where gaps need to be filled.

Once we finish our assessment, we embark on a comprehensive executive search for the best talent and candidates with the necessary skill sets, experience, and qualifications to fill gaps in your business.

We also focus on finding candidates that are as qualified as they are diverse, as part of our commitment to inclusivity in the recruitment process. We are dedicated to treating all candidates fairly, and we select the right talent based on their skills, qualifications, and suitability for our client’s company culture. We hold no bias against any professional’s gender, ethnicity, age, religion, or personal expression.

The candidates we select are carefully vetted to ensure the optimal fit and rule out criminal backgrounds and any inconsistencies in their resumes. The successful candidates who pass our screening will progress further.

Finally, we provide our clients with a shortlist of managerial talent who possess the ability to help their organization gain a competitive edge, achieve optimal performance, and lead it to success.

Behind Keller's Tailored Recruitment Approach

At Keller, our recruiters are known, among other qualities, for their extensive first-hand headhunting experience within the project management sphere. These experiences have secured themselves in the memories of our recruiters for the catalytic effect they had on our recruitment approach.

When we first established a name for ourselves in the industry, we were using a standardized recruitment method that we applied to all our projects. While it worked for our initial group of clients, we soon realized that it was not the ideal approach for everyone.

One experience was particularly memorable and happened when we first began branching out to larger companies. While the candidates we recommended using this approach had the expertise our client requested, many of them did not possess the right personality type or leadership style to work well in our client’s existing team. Even though we had applied our generic method in good faith, we were unable to make a successful placement.

This experience helped our recruiters realize the limitations of using a cookie-cutter approach when serving a variety of organizations, all with unique needs. It also taught us the value of offering customized solutions instead, which led us to develop the proven, tailored staffing method we have become known for today.

Since using this approach, Keller has achieved great success, and we have made a significant mark on the industry. Our success has inspired other recruitment agencies and contributed to improving the way recruitment is understood worldwide. Additionally, our name has become interchangeable with top-tier project management recruiting services.

As a leading project management recruitment agency, Keller takes a holistic approach to identifying and attracting highly qualified candidates for critical roles in the industry. Every engagement we take part in is unique, with the process being tailored to meet the business needs and strategic goals of our clients. Instead of confining ourselves to a pre-set list of job titles, our management recruiters work backward from the outcomes you need to achieve. We are capable of finding talent who can deliver a critical transformation program on time, prospects who can scale an agile product team, and leaders who can help stabilize a PMO after rapid growth.

We map the key skills and soft skills required to close the talent gap.

We have access to this database through our recognized NPAworldwide partnership, allowing us to source candidates from around the globe.

Our search services cover a wide spectrum of project management jobs. Our placements range from business analysts to senior project managers and program directors. We also routinely surface candidates for interim contract roles such as PMO partners, project delivery managers, and directors of program management. Our search parameters are customized with each engagement, which means this flexibility helps our clients find high-caliber talent no matter the role.

Keller utilizes a refined search process developed over decades as a global leader among executive search firms. Our search consultants leverage structured competency interviews, scenario-based problem-solving assessments, and rigorous reference validations to evaluate the proficiency of prospects in agile methodologies, stakeholder communication, and leadership under pressure.
