Keller is widely recognized as a leader in the field of Internet of Things executive search and recruitment. We specialize in finding and recruiting talented professionals for key roles in the IoT industry, thereby helping our clientele stay ahead of the curve and maintain their competitive edge.
The Internet of Things (IoT) sector has boomed in recent years, with billions of IoT devices currently connected to the Internet. The range of IoT applications spans from smart homes and wearable technology to artificial intelligence, industrial equipment, and transportation systems. The number of connected devices globally is also predicted to skyrocket to an astounding 75 billion by 2025. This illustrates the scale and potential of this rapidly expanding field.
As an essential part of the fourth industrial revolution, recruiting executives within the Internet of Things sphere has become a top priority for businesses across multiple industries. Because of the high demand for skilled talent in this sector, open roles attract a large pool of applicants. It can be difficult to discern which job seekers would be the right fit for your business.
We at Keller Executive Search leverage our industry expertise and wide network of connections to source top talent for open positions within the IoT industry. We specialize in identifying candidates for a range of roles, from IoT systems engineering, IoT software development, and IoT data analytics, to IoT product management, and many more.
The professionals we deliver possess the necessary skills and experience to propel your business forward. We also take the distinctive culture of your organization and its specific objectives into account to determine the most suitable candidates.
Our experts utilize data-driven insights alongside their specialized IoT recruitment skills and vast educational and professional qualifications to provide the excellent service our firm has become known for.
Our dedicated and passionate team of recruiters at Keller Executive Search is committed to finding exceptional individuals who resonate with our clients’ corporate culture and functional needs. It is our aim to provide our clientele with top-tier talent that will drive innovation and lead the business to success. We do this by employing a rigorous and comprehensive recruitment process, which includes:
We initiate the recruitment process by establishing our client’s hiring requirements in a meeting between our team and their team. We aim to gain a better knowledge of our client’s organizational culture, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the existing team. Our passionate team takes care to ensure we understand the responsibilities and challenges of the open role. We also use this meeting as an opportunity to learn more about what our client expects in terms of the experience, skills, qualifications, work ethic, and leadership traits of prospective employees.
With this knowledge in hand, we begin to look for the perfect candidates who can meet these talent needs.
At Keller, we boast access to an international database of Internet of Things talent, thanks to our recognized partnership with NPAworldwide.
Our extensive network of contacts and deep industry knowledge enable us to locate the most suitable candidates for every level within an organization, from IoT Software Developer to Chief IoT Officer.
Each candidate in this initial group is thoroughly evaluated to confirm their expertise before we present them to the client. We also subject each professional to a thorough vetting process that includes verifying resumes and references, screening for criminal backgrounds, and advanced psychometric testing to determine their motivational drivers and cultural fit.
After our assessments conclude, we submit a shortlist of the candidates who successfully passed our vetting to the client, who retains the final authority on who to hire.
In addition to recruiting high-caliber professionals and leaders for IoT-centric roles, we work closely with our clients to help them secure and retain top talent in this fiercely competitive sector.
With the world of technology constantly changing, it is imperative for your company to have the best professionals on board. At Keller, we fully understand how crucial this is for stimulating company growth, which we aim to foster when you partner with us.
Our achievements are inherently tied to our clients’ achievements. Therefore, we leave no stone unturned in the search for the right person to fill a role. Our goal is to identify the most capable candidates whose skills align with our client’s business needs. In short, we customize our services for each client, with an emphasis on supporting their business growth.
We kick off the recruitment process with a thorough analysis of our client’s business requirements to pinpoint potential areas that could benefit from the right candidate. Following this, we propose forward-thinking strategies aimed at helping our clients secure and retain the best talent.
At Keller, we are committed to never stop learning. We stay updated on the latest news, developments, and findings in the IoT industry. We also aim to stay abreast of any technological advancements in the recruitment sector that we may use to increase our efficiency.
A key aspect of our approach is our steadfast commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout the recruitment process. We recognize the value that a range of viewpoints can bring to a company, especially in an industry as expansive and innovative as the Internet of Things. For this reason, we treat every candidate fairly and select professionals based on their merit. Instead of holding biases against their gender, race, age, religion, or personal expression, Keller’s team hand-picks the candidates who are most suited for the available position.
Over the years, Keller’s experts have gained extensive first-hand experience recruiting for the IoT industry. These experiences have guided our team in developing the tailored approach we are renowned for. One experience was particularly impactful, and our team still remembers it vividly as a result.
When we first began serving clients in the IoT industry, we applied a generic approach to every search. As our client list was limited to a small group of clients with businesses of similar sizes, this approach seemed to work well. When we were eventually hired by a new, much larger client, we approached the search in a similar manner.
Unfortunately, and much to our surprise, the candidates we recommended were not up to scratch. While they had the right experience and qualifications on paper, in practice, their personalities clashed with the existing team, and their work ethic did not align with our client’s company culture. The placement ultimately failed, and it was a challenging experience for our team.
However, it did teach us valuable lessons that have served us well since. We learned the importance of providing tailored solutions instead of the limiting, generic method we had been using.
Since adapting our approach, Keller has achieved great success. We’ve had a lasting impact on the industry by inspiring other firms to adopt similarly customizable methodologies, effectively shaping the way recruitment and executive search in the IoT industry are understood. As a result, our name has become interchangeable with high-quality recruitment services.
