Providing Clients with the Best Candidates in the CSR Industry
Premier CSR Recruitment Services
Keller is widely recognized as one of the leaders in the field of CSR recruitment. We are known for our ability to connect businesses from around the world with exceptional CSR talent. We provide our clientele with professionals who have what is needed to lead their organization to new growth and new success, all while staying socially and environmentally conscious.
When companies make use of a business model where organizations integrate ethical, social, and environmental concerns into their business operations and stakeholder interactions, it is referred to as corporate social responsibility (CSR). This business model aims to move companies away from simply focusing on financial responsibilities and help them focus instead on addressing broader goals in society. These include ethical behavior/ practices, development in communities, and environmental sustainability. This business model emphasizes that businesses need to deal with social, environmental, and economic imperatives simultaneously to achieve long-term success.
Over the past few decades, corporate social responsibility (or CSR) has seen significant development, evolving from smaller, isolated initiatives by some organizations, to a large industry and necessity for global businesses. While some organizations started keeping their CSR initiatives quiet following the Trump administration’s roll-back of federal environmental regulations and rules in 2025, many organizations remain committed to upholding their public sustainability. There are also many state-level initiatives that continue to drive change in corporations.
With more and more organizations realizing the importance of sustainable and ethical practices, the CSR job market is experiencing a boom, with many professionals interested in and competing for employment in this sector. While the demand for these positions is high, there is a limited number of vacancies. Having a strong commitment to integrating CSR practices is often a decisive factor in companies attracting talent successfully. In such a saturated market, however, it can be difficult for organizations to find their ideal CSR candidates.
Many organizations are turning to agencies like Keller to help them identify and recruit top talent in the CSR industry.
At Keller, we understand how vital it is for businesses to find job seekers who align with their corporate social responsibility and sustainability goals. For this reason, we specialize in connecting our clientele to the right fit for their business. Through our tailored recruitment process, we aim to provide suitable candidates who have what it takes to drive positive change and improve brand image.
At Keller, our recruiters utilize their specialized recruiting skills, advanced technical knowledge of global and local markets, and extensive academic and professional qualifications to provide exceptional CSR recruitment solutions.
What We Do
When a company engages Keller, they are guaranteed premium recruitment and consultancy services. We dedicate ourselves to finding and supplying clients with talented candidates who have the expertise and experience needed in an organization actively pursuing environmental stewardship.
For this, we employ our customized recruitment methodology. Our process includes Assessment, Talent Acquisition, and Organizational Transformation.
Assessment
We begin our process by meeting with our client to learn more about their organization and its company culture. We aim to gain deep knowledge of what our client requires from new hires in terms of their qualifications, expertise, experience, personality, and leadership style. Additionally, our team works with the client to establish the requirements and challenges of the job.
This information provides us with valuable insights needed to create search parameters. We use these parameters in our process in order to find CSR professionals who meet client requirements and are capable of making a positive impact in the company.
Once we have selected an initial batch of professionals, each candidate is thoroughly vetted by our team. This screening process involves checking for criminal records, verifying professional histories, and ensuring that references are authentic. Each candidate also takes part in advanced psychometric tests so that we can evaluate their personality type, work ethic, and leadership style. This process helps Keller’s team determine which candidates are most suited for our client’s organization.
Once our vetting concludes, we compile the candidates who passed it successfully into a shortlist which we give to our client.
Talent Acquisition
During our time operating as a recruitment agency in the field, Keller has gained a lasting reputation for our high-quality services and reliable outcomes. We are also known for our ability to select the cream of the crop. To do so, we utilize our recognized membership with NPAworldwide to access an international network of talent.
Keller also offers a variety of solutions outside of the recruitment process, including consultation and support services to ensure maximum employee retention.
Organization Transformation
Keller helps clients transform their businesses by providing excellent talent guaranteed to contribute positively to their CSR activities and, in doing so, drive success.
It is our mission to support our clientele in maximizing profits and increasing employee satisfaction, as well as provide consultations to aid in the success of CSR initiatives for a more sustainable future, such as limiting water consumption or greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Approach to CSR Recruitment
At Keller, we only consider our staffing solutions if they aid our clients in achieving their goals. It is for this reason that we provide services tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Our experts also greatly value continued learning, and we aim to stay abreast of the latest changes, findings, developments, and tech advancements in the field.
Additionally, we value inclusivity and fair treatment, and implement both in our search process. We aim to foster a more diverse workforce in the CSR industry by suggesting clients based exclusively on their fit for our clients’ vacancies. Our selection process is entirely free from bias against any candidate’s race, gender, age, religion, or personal preference.
Behind Our CSR Recruitment Method
Our recruiters are known for, among other qualities, their extensive first-hand experience in the recruitment sector. Through these experiences, our team has learned many valuable lessons, which helped to shape our approach to recruiting candidates. One experience was particularly memorable for the transformative effect it had on our recruitment method.
During Keller’s formative years in the recruitment field, we used a generic methodology that worked well enough for our limited client base. However, as we became more successful, organizations outside of our usual clients began engaging Keller’s services. Among them was a large, influential company in need of a candidate for an important role in their CSR team. We were used to good results when using our cookie-cutter method, so we applied it to this search as well.
Unfortunately, and much to the surprise of our team members, we were unable to make a successful placement using this approach. The candidates we recommended were not up to the client’s standard and did not have the specific attributes they were looking for. Unbeknownst to us at the time, this was a common result when using a standardized approach.
We found this experience challenging, but it taught our team that a generic approach to recruitment had many limitations. We also learned how valuable it is for an agency like ours to tailor its recruitment method to the unique requirements of each client, instead.
Since then, Keller has refined this tailored approach and we have built a long history of successfully placing talent with companies from around the globe.
