Keller is a trusted partner in logistics recruitment and supply-chain executive search. Backed by decades of experience in transportation and logistics, our team brings deep industry expertise, hands-on supply-chain management know-how, and the technical insight needed to identify and secure top logistics talent in the market. To do this, we utilize a proprietary, data-driven search methodology that delivers precise matches faster than a typical executive search firm.
The logistics industry is a dynamic sector, with constant new regulations, technologies, and customer expectations developing the new norm in the market. To navigate the rapidly evolving industry, companies need agile and innovative leaders at the helm who understand the dynamics and create strategies that can propel the business forward.
We tap an unrivaled global network of supply chain executives and exceptional professionals, ensuring our clients attract and retain high-impact employees who drive operational excellence and protect their margin.
At Keller, our headhunters are guided by a mission to equip organizations with the precise talent to fuel sustainable growth and business success. We aim to be the world’s most trusted partner in supply-chain and logistics executive search, recognized for fortifying global supply chains.
Our passion for recruitment drives a meticulous, end-to-end approach. We combine targeted market mapping, data-driven outreach, and rigorous competency assessments to surface hard-to-find leaders who fit our client’s culture and strategic vision.
We do this through:
During the initial evaluation, we look beyond a candidate’s track record and skills. Our expert recruiters also take into consideration a candidate’s personality, work ethic, management style, and cultural alignment to ensure they meet or exceed our client’s hiring requirements.
Beyond scrutinizing their résumés, Keller also employs applicant tracking and talent analytics platforms that surface hidden patterns in candidate performance. We layer these insights with advanced psychometric testing and customized diversity-hiring frameworks, enabling us to predict their long-term impact with greater accuracy.
When searching for prospects for our clients, we leverage our deep network of connections to receive referrals and recommendations. We also post the open role on job search platforms, make queries across social media, and do cold calls and emails to reach out to hundreds of active and passive candidates who may not be comfortable announcing that they are looking for new opportunities.
Further, we are an active partner of NPAworldwide, allowing us to tap rich, often invisible talent pipelines and discreetly approach leaders who are thriving in their roles.
Widely recognized as a leader in logistics and supply chain recruiting, Keller translates market intelligence into actionable HR guidance that sharpens our client’s competitive edge. Our consultants then benchmark compensation, refine onboarding and retention, and advise on workforce design. The goal is to help our partner businesses attract exceptional professionals and turn talent advantage into sustained operational excellence.
Success for us is placing the perfect candidate. To do this, our headhunters start each engagement with a discussion between our team, hiring managers, and relevant stakeholders. During this conversation, our goal is to gain a clear, factual understanding of our client’s organization—its goals, current challenges, role requirements, and workplace culture. These insights allow us to set precise selection criteria that guide every stage of the search.
Our recruiters then use established industry networks, a global candidate database, and data-driven screening tools to identify professionals who match those criteria. All prospects are verified on their proven track record of boosting operational excellence as well as their leadership style and ability to fit our client’s environment. Furthermore, we validate the background and references of each supply chain talent before any shortlist is created and presented to clients.
Diversity and inclusion remain fundamental throughout the search. Every applicant is judged solely on measurable results and potential, with no regard to age, belief, ethnicity, or gender. The outcome is a fair, merit-based process that delivers the right supply chain & logistics talent for our client’s team.
In our early years, Keller relied on a standardized search model that treated every logistics vacancy much the same. That generic approach produced some early mishires, convincing us that “one size fits all” was never going to meet the complex demands of modern supply-chain organizations. After a setback, we rebuilt our process from the ground up.
The change delivered immediate results, allowing us to consistently fill critical roles with high-caliber professionals with the ability to make a meaningful impact from day one. It also taught us the value of deeper stakeholder interviews and advanced psychometric testing to verify leadership style and cultural alignment. Additionally, it reinforced the need for wider geographic mapping and flexible relocation support. Those lessons are now embedded in every search we run.
Today, Keller is recognized for quality and reliability in logistics recruitment. Clients return because our tailored method reduces time-to-hire, increases retention rates, and safeguards operational continuity.
Our searches are run by professionals with solid academic and industry credentials: most hold degrees in supply-chain management, industrial engineering, or business. Many also have APICS or CSCMP certificates. Several members of the team have previously managed distribution centers, led procurement groups, or run transportation operations themselves, giving them valuable first-hand insight into the day-to-day demands of the roles they now recruit for.
Our logistics and supply chain recruiters specialize in finding placements for a wide range of sectors, including:
As a leading executive search firm in the logistics and supply chain sector, Keller’s recruiters draw on decades of hands-on supply chain management experience, years of successful placements, and an extensive network that spans every corner of the industry to source and attract the right leaders. Because our goal is to protect and boost each client’s competitive advantage, we do not confine our search efforts to a predefined list of job titles. Instead, we partner with hiring managers to understand the gaps in their workforce and what they need to improve their logistics operations—whether that involves freight forwarding, third-party logistics, reverse logistics, or a complex supply chain. We then recruit aggressively for the talent that will drive operation excellence and customer satisfaction.
Part of what makes our searches stand out is our commitment to finding and presenting only the most qualified candidates. Our talent acquisition services cover key roles at every level—from mid-level managers, specialists, and team leaders to directors and C-suite executives. We also place candidates in logistics positions that may require more specialized and niche skill sets, ensuring that our client’s supply chain teams are equipped to meet both immediate performance targets and long-term growth objectives.
Because the transportation and logistics sector moves fast, Keller maintains lasting relationships with logistics companies and professionals, allowing us to reach candidates who may not be reachable or available on traditional job boards. Our vast network helps us surface top logistic talents for permanent hires, interim leadership, or temporary solutions at a pace. Each logistic and supply chain professional we present is backed by rigorous competency interviews, role-specific assessments, and reference verification so that only the best candidates who align with your culture, career aspirations, and business goals reach the final stage.
Unlike other firms that rely on generic job-board advertising, Keller uses a research-driven model that combines targeted market mapping, proprietary talent analytics software, and structured competency-based interviews. The result is a shortlist that consistently shows higher on-the-job retention and faster time-to-productivity than industry averages.
We also invest heavily in continuous learning: our consultants maintain APICS, CSCMP, and SHRM credentials, attend supply-chain conferences, and monitor regulatory and technology shifts that affect logistics hiring. This up-to-date insight, coupled with decades-long relationships with clients, allows us to present candidates who not only meet technical requirements but also already understand the regional market dynamics that help shape business success.
When you partner with Keller, you are getting access to a team of professional recruiters who take the time to comprehend your business and talent needs. Our headhunters are also tenacious and would ensure that the recruiting process results in a slate of the best possible candidates and, eventually, a successful placement.
At Keller, we place great importance on assuring confidentiality and professionalism during the search. Every search is conducted under strict non-disclosure protocols, with data encrypted, access limited to essential personnel. All parties involved are also bound by NDAs that meet or exceed global data-protection standards. We will never disclose sensitive or commercially damaging information about our clients, and we maintain detailed audit trails to verify that promise.
Our dedication to finding the perfect match for your business is unmatched. Unlike other logistics and supply chain recruitment firms, we offer a 210-day replacement program. If the executive hired fails to meet client expectations within the first seven months, we will redo the search at no additional cost to you.
