Chemical Industry Recruiters

Our Approach to Chemical Industry Recruitment

Our recruitment and executive search services can be regarded as successful solely when our client companies achieve growth due to the ideal candidate placement. In pursuit of this, we give precedence to the distinct needs of every client, providing customized recruitment services to each one.

We kickstart the recruiting process by conducting a comprehensive analysis of our client’s executive search requirements, while also identifying areas that could benefit from strategic talent placement. With this information in hand, we craft a strategy that guides the entirety of the search, ensuring we only source candidates that align with our client’s requirements.

Next, our executive search consultants start examining the market for potential talents using our cutting-edge candidate tracking technology, talent analytics, and other recruiting tools to accelerate the search process. We also leverage our connections with industry experts to get recommendations and referrals.

A core tenet that guides our way of working is an unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity. We recognize the valuable contributions that diverse perspectives can bring to a company, and aim to perpetuate that within the businesses we engage with. Thus, we never discriminate against candidates based on their age, gender, ethnicity, or personal beliefs.

After establishing a pool of viable talent, we thoroughly screen every individual to confirm their availability, competency, and compatibility with the rest of the client’s team. We also perform background, reference, and criminal record checks where necessary. We arrange the finalists in a shortlist for our client to examine in their own time and await their decision on who to hire.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

When Keller was a new company, we made do with a single, standardized approach to recruitment. This had its advantages since it enabled us to recruit for a broad range of roles, but it was less effective when it came to locating individuals for C-suite and other senior management positions. This was because it neglected some of the more nuanced aspects of high-level placements, namely, management style, work ethic, and cultural fit.

As one might expect, this led to some unsuccessful hires, including one for a prominent client that marked a pivotal shift for our firm. It opened our eyes to the shortcomings of our one-size-fits-all approach and prompted us to adopt the more customer-oriented method we still use to this day.

Our current approach is intended for searches at the higher end of the employment spectrum and considers the unique differences between our client firms. This helps us to deliver the talent needed to fit in well with our clients’ teams and propel their businesses forward. In doing so, we have become widely recognized for superior quality executive search with high success rates.
