Our team of seasoned recruiters possesses the specialized technical knowledge that allows us to understand the complex job requirements and unique demands of the aerospace sector. Our specialized skills also give us the ability to effectively evaluate candidates, ensuring we yield superior results.
Our goal is to drive innovation and growth in the aerospace sector through strategic workforce solutions. Our track record speaks to our ability to navigate the job market successfully.
At Keller, our team of aerospace executive recruiters can deliver candidates with the right qualifications and merits to fill open executive and leadership roles within the industry. Our mission is to find exceptional talent with the ability to propel our client’s organization forward. Our team envisions a future where innovation in the industry reaches new heights, driven largely by placing the right people in the right roles.
Our passion for recruiting goes beyond simply filling positions. We are also dedicated to supporting our client’s business advancement.
We achieve this through:
Each candidate who shows interest in our client’s open roles is assessed thoroughly, with our team utilizing specialized tools such as candidate tracking, talent analytics, background checks, and advanced psychometric testing to improve recruiting efficiency.
Keller is a member of NPA Worldwide, which gives us access to an extensive network of connections to get referrals and recommendations for the best engineering and aerospace professionals who fit our client’s hiring requirements. Our network also allows us to reach highly qualified passive candidates who are not actively looking for a job but may be interested in new opportunities.
Keller is a widely recognized leader in the field of recruitment. Our team of headhunters has vast industry knowledge, having worked for aerospace businesses for years. Our expertise in the aerospace industry allows us to provide clients with guidance on improving processes, boosting employee engagement and retention rates, and gaining a competitive advantage over other companies.
Each search possesses its own unique goals and requirements. Before we source for talents, our team works to better understand our client’s hiring needs, their business goals, and the work culture within their organization. These insights allow us to tailor our search strategy and ensure our candidate selection is top-notch.
With a search strategy in place, our recruiters begin sourcing for the best candidates using a rigorous process that involves performing extensive background and reference checks. We can also process social reviews and police checks where necessary.
This approach to recruitment helps contribute to better client outcomes. It is an approach unique to Keller, developed by our Aerospace headhunters after facing setbacks with recruiting using a generic approach. A one-size-fits-all approach fails to recognize the unique challenges and nuances of aerospace recruitment, which can lead to matching candidates for positions without considering their leadership style and cultural fit.
Our commitment to investing in this specialized strategy has resulted in an impressive history of successful placements. It also allowed us to establish a long-standing reputation for quality and reliability.
