Our Approach to Fashion Executive Search

Keller provides bespoke executive search services tailored to the client’s business needs and goals. Our mission is not limited to merely filling open roles; we are committed to connecting our clientele with forward-thinking leaders who are able to meet and even exceed the demands of consumers.

Over the years, this commitment has helped Keller build and maintain enduring relationships with our clientele.

As part of our mission to provide excellent service, our recruiters value and practice continuous learning. It allows our team to stay updated on all current events, trends, developments, and findings in the fashion sector, as well as any tech advancements in the recruiting arena.

Part of what makes our searches successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion in our process. We place great importance on ensuring that all candidates are treated fairly. For this reason, candidates are only assessed based on their merits and suitability for the role, and we hold no bias against any candidate’s gender, race, age, religion, or personal expression.

Behind Our Fashion Recruitment Process

Keller employs a team of experts who have gained extensive first-hand experience over their many years working and recruiting in the fashion sector. We have learnt many valuable lessons from these experiences, and they have guided us in the development of our tailored approach. One of these experiences stands out in our memories for the catalytic impact it had on our methodology.

In our first few years as a recruitment agency in the fashion sector, Keller made use of a one-fits-all approach to recruitment. This was because we served a limited number of companies that were all similar in size and had similar needs. As a result, our approach worked well enough for them.

With this success, however, came a more diverse client base that included a particularly large, influential company in the fashion business. Used to our previous success, we applied our generic approach in good faith and expected the same results.

Unfortunately, we were unable to make a successful placement. The candidates we had compiled for our client did not meet their needs in terms of leadership style and personality type, which would have resulted in friction with the existing team members. Even though the professionals we recommended had the correct qualifications for the position, our generic method failed to take into account whether they would make for a good cultural match.

While our team found this experience challenging, it taught us the importance of tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each client we serve and showed us how limiting a one-fits-all approach can be.

Since then, we have developed and perfected the tailored methodology we are renowned for today. Our name has become synonymous with premier fashion recruitment, and we have built enduring relationships with our clientele. Our success has also had a significant influence on the industry by helping to shape the way executive search is understood worldwide. As a result, we have gained a long-lasting reputation for high-quality, reliable executive search services.
