Providing Aviation Businesses with World-Class Talent
Premier Global Aviation Recruitment Services
Keller is widely recognized as a leader in the field of aviation recruitment. We specialize in helping local and global aviation companies find and attract top talent to drive innovation. Additionally, it is our goal to provide assistance so that the clients we serve can not only find, but also retain the perfect people for their aviation recruitment needs.
The aviation sector is dynamic and includes fields such as aerospace manufacturing, commercial aviation airlines, cargo carriers, and private jets, among others. This sector offers a diverse range of job opportunities and has experienced ongoing growth over the past few years. It also contributes significantly to the global economy.
The aviation sector has a high demand for skilled job seekers but offers a limited number of entry-level positions. As a result, the industry has become competitive, and employers are finding it increasingly difficult to find talent for their specialized roles.
As one of the leading aviation recruitment agencies in the world, Keller can assist companies in the sector in finding the best candidates for senior executive positions, leadership roles, and more. We aim to provide clients with professionals who have the capability and skills to rise to the challenges they may face and lead their organizations to greater heights.
This commitment, along with our extensive recruitment expertise, wealth of international consultancy services, and personalized approach has helped Keller gain an enduring reputation for quality and reliability in the aviation recruitment sphere.
What We Do
At Keller, we aim to deliver a selection of the best candidates who meet the specific and unique hiring requirements of our clients in the aviation sector. We achieve this through a unique approach that includes Assessment, Talent Acquisition, and Organization Transformation.
Assessment
The first step in our tailored search process is to thoroughly assess our client’s requirements. We hold a meeting between our passionate team of recruitment experts and our client to first learn more about their organization, its existing teams and the dynamic between them, and the duties and possible challenges of the vacancy.
Next, we establish our client’s expectations of possible candidates, such as their qualifications, level of experience, personalities, work ethic, and leadership traits.
We use this information to create parameters to guide us in our search. In doing so, Keller ensures that we find candidates who meet our client’s staffing needs and would be a good match for their organization.
Talent Acquisition
Next, we aim to help our client acquire the perfect talent. At Keller, we make use of both traditional and unconventional channels to expand the candidate pool. We also boast access to a global network of aviation professionals, thanks to our recognized NPAworldwide membership. From here, we select an initial group of candidates who seem to fulfill our client’s specific needs.
This group is then subjected to a rigorous vetting process, during which we run background checks to ensure that their CVs are accurate and to rule out things like criminal records.
However, as we do not focus solely on a candidate’s professional track record, we also take into consideration other, more intricate factors during the initial evaluation, including personality, leadership or management style, and motivational drivers. To do so, we use advanced psychometric tests.
The professionals who make it through our screening process are placed on a shortlist, which is then provided to our client.
Organization Transformation
At Keller, our team understands that the right talent can significantly impact a company’s chances of achieving success. For this reason, we carefully analyze the aviation businesses we serve so that we can identify gaps and areas for improvement that would benefit from the right professionals.
However, our job is not over once the search ends. We also provide other services, including expert advice on improving workflows and processes, assistance in developing strategies for improving employee engagement and retention, and support to ensure a smooth transition during the onboarding and hiring phases.
Our Approach to Aviation Executive Search
At Keller, our team of professional headhunters takes a proactive approach to sourcing and supplying the right candidates to clients. Our tailored approach includes taking time to gain a better understanding of our client’s workplace culture, requirements, and business goals.
Our in-depth knowledge of the aviation sector, combined with our insights into our clients’ organizations, allows us to create effective strategies for talent acquisition. As part of our mission for excellence, Keller’s aviation recruitment experts also utilize their expertise and experience in the field, alongside their extensive specialized skills and technical market knowledge, to select professionals capable of easily navigating and overcoming challenges in the aviation sector.
While our team boasts vast qualifications, both academically and professionally, it is part of our mission to continue learning. This means that we stay abreast of the latest findings, developments, and tech advancements in the aviation sector. In doing so, we are able to supply higher-quality candidates.
Additionally, we are committed to diversity and inclusion throughout the entire process. Our approach to recruitment ensures everyone is treated fairly and that no biases are made against the gender, age, ethnicity, background, or beliefs of any professional. Instead, we focus on finding talent based on their skills, qualifications, and suitability for our client’s vacancy.
Behind Our Recruitment Approach as Premier Aviation Recruiters
Throughout our many years of operating in the aviation recruitment sector, our recruiters have gained extensive first-hand experience selecting top-notch professionals for our clientele. These experiences have also played a significant role in our team adopting and perfecting the tailored approach we make use of today.
When we first began serving clients in the aviation sector, we employed a generic approach that worked well for our limited client base. However, with more success came a wider range of clientele, and we were soon tasked with finding an executive for a large, influential company in the field. We dove into the project in good faith, applying our one-fits-all methodology again.
Unfortunately, we were unable to make a successful placement. The many limitations of our generic approach meant that we did not consider company culture or our client’s requirements for leadership style, even though the candidates we recommended had the right qualifications for the role itself.
This experience is particularly memorable for the catalytic effect it had on how we approach executive search and recruitment. While challenging, it taught our team important lessons, including the value of providing the companies we serve with a recruitment approach tailored to their unique needs.
Since then, we have perfected our approach, and it has brought us more success than we could have imagined. We have also spent our years in the field building relationships with clientele that stand the test of time.
Our success has had a significant impact on the recruitment industry, inspiring other recruitment agencies to use similar approaches. In this way, Keller has contributed to a better global understanding of executive search, and our name has become synonymous with premium recruiting services.
