Behind Our Air Transport Recruitment Approach

Our team of experts has many years of collective first-hand experience recruiting talented professionals in the air transport, aviation, and aerospace industries. Our experiences have helped to shape the way we approach recruitment over the years. One of these experiences has remained fresh in our memories for the role it played in developing our tailored approach.

This experience occurred during Keller’s early days as an air transport and aviation executive search agency. When we first began recruiting, we had a small client base limited to companies with very similar needs. We used a generic method that worked for all our clients, and we never thought to change it.

However, as our agency grew and achieved more success, we began headhunting for larger organizations as well. Among them was an influential business in need of an executive in the air transport sector. As we had gotten used to the success we achieved using this cookie-cutter method, we again applied it to this search in good faith.

Much to the surprise of our team, the candidates we recommended did not meet our client’s expectations. While they had the correct qualifications for the role, their personalities and work ethic clashed with our client’s company culture. As a result, we were unable to make a successful placement.

We didn’t know it at the time, but our team has since learned that this is a common result when using a standardized executive search approach.

This experience was challenging for our team, but it taught us the value of tailoring our solutions according to the unique needs of each client. It also helped us realize the many limitations of using a generic method.

Adopting a tailored approach skyrocketed our success, and it inspired other agencies to use similar methods. This ripple effect had a great impact on the industry and helped to improve the global understanding of executive search. It also made Keller’s name synonymous with premium air transport, aerospace, and aviation recruiting.
