Energy Recruiters & Executive Search Experts

Our Approach to Energy Executive Search and Recruitment

Keller’s approach to executive search and recruitment is collaborative and client-focused. We work with companies as partners to gain a deep understanding of their business needs and goals before launching into a rigorous search process that is committed to diversity and inclusion.

Using the information we gather from our initial assessment of our client’s organization, we craft a profile for the ideal candidate. This ensures that our search strategy is tailored to their requirements and keeps us on track to deliver an individual with the right qualifications and cultural fit.

Next, our executive search experts tap into our extensive networks to find professionals with the traits our client requires. We consider all candidates whose track record and skill set align with the position, disregarding demographic factors such as gender, age, and race. Thus, Keller strives to handle all candidates fairly and help our customers build diverse teams.

When we have accumulated the resumes of potential candidates, we analyze their compatibility on a deeper level. This involves a combination of background reviews, psychometric tests, competency interviews, and professional reference checks. With our evaluations complete, we present a shortlist of the most qualified candidates to our client, who decides who to hire.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

The Keller name was built on our enthusiasm for high-quality hires and the realization that no two businesses are alike. But we weren’t always so highly regarded in the executive search arena.

When we were a young company, we employed a one-size-fits-all approach that was well-suited to staffing generic roles with high turnover rates. This was because it only examined candidates’ credentials and did not delve into more intricate factors such as character values, professional standards, or cultural fit. This meant we were not prepared to recruit candidates for open positions at the senior level of management, since these roles typically require a more detailed approach.

Nonetheless, we decided to stick with our cut-and-dry method for one particular assignment that would serve as the turning point in our firm’s history. At the time, we had been hired by a prominent firm to locate a suitable individual for a vacancy on their leadership team. While we made the placement in good faith, it turned out that the candidate we recommended did not gel with the rest of our client’s management staff. The placement was a failure as a result, but served as an eye-opener for us, and we immediately began to make changes to our recruitment process.

Today, we offer bespoke executive recruitment solutions that consider the nuances of our clients’ firms. It also takes into account all the factors that play a role in the outcome of placements, such as leadership style, personality, and team dynamics. This has helped us grow into the widely recognized brand clients now rely on for making better hires, even for the most challenging roles.
