Sourcing the Top Public Health Professionals in the Industry
Leading Public Health Recruiters
Keller is widely recognized as one of the leading public health executive recruitment agencies. We specialize in connecting companies from around the globe with top-tier public health professionals who have what it takes to transform their organizations and make a real difference.
What makes public health important is that professionals in this field aim to improve the overall health, well-being, and life expectancy of entire communities and populations – even on an international scale. The field is strong, and it is expected to see even more growth in the coming years. It is a broad sector with a wide range of available positions.
Because it is such a vital industry, professionals in this field are required to have academic qualifications and higher-level degrees than some other sectors. Some roles in the sector offer significant salaries, making it an attractive sector to work in.
Public health professionals are in high demand around the world. The World Health Organization also predicts that there will be a drop in the number of available public health workers in the coming years, which would make the demand even higher. The demand is especially high for professionals who can fill senior positions and certain key roles, such as epidemiologists and policy analysts.
When there is a skill gap between the high demand from employers and the low supply of qualified professionals, it can be difficult for businesses to find their ideal public health candidates. This is where an executive search firm like Keller can help.
Keller understands the important role potential candidates and new hires play in the success of your organization and its endeavors. This is why we tailor our executive search solutions to the unique requirements of each of our public health clients. To do so, we utilize our team’s extensive technical knowledge, expertise, and hands-on experience in the public health labor market.
Keller employs a passionate team of recruiters, each boasting vast academic and professional qualifications, specialized executive search skills, and a dedication to providing clients with the best employees available.
What We Do
Keller is known for providing clientele with premier executive search solutions and consulting services. As a leading recruitment firm in the public health industry, it is part of our mission to identify and supply talented job candidates and leaders for our clients’ vacancies. We dedicate our efforts to finding talented professionals who have the qualifications and experience needed to excel in their new role, as well as possess the attributes and skills needed to lead their teams to success.
To do so, our team makes use of a tailored recruitment process that includes Assessment, Talent Acquisition, and Organizational Transformation.
Assessment
Our team begins by having a meeting with the client and key decision-makers in their company. Our aim with this meeting is to gain a better understanding of our client’s organization, their company culture, and the dynamic between their teams. Additionally, we use this meeting to ascertain our client’s requirements for their new hires. This includes their desired qualifications, experience, skills, personality type, work ethic, and leadership style. We also assess the requirements of the role, and the challenges candidates may face while performing their job duties.
Throughout this initial meeting, Keller gains vital insights that we use as the parameters for our executive search. We aim to find and recruit talented public health professionals who not only meet all our client’s requirements, but also have what it takes to drive growth and success in the business.
We access our global network as well as more conventional channels like job boards to find talent who seem to meet these parameters. Each professional we select then undergoes an intensive vetting process during which we screen for things such as criminal records. We also check each candidate’s professional history to ensure that their resumes and references are authentic. Next, the candidates undergo advanced psychometric testing to ensure that their personality types, work ethic, and leadership styles align well with the organization.
The public health professionals who pass through our screening process successfully are placed on a shortlist which is handed over to our client. The organization proceeds with the interview process from there, and it is solely their responsibility to make a decision on which candidate to hire.
Talent Acquisition
Over the years, Keller has built an enduring reputation for providing our clientele with reliable, high-quality public health executive recruitment services. We are renowned for our high standards when selecting and providing talent. To achieve this, we utilize our recognized NPAworldwide partnership to access an international database of talented professionals. This gives us the ability to choose only the best of the best for the organizations we serve.
Our executive search services continue even after the recruitment process concludes, however, and we offer a wide variety of additional support solutions and consultation services to assist our clientele.
Organization Transformation
Apart from helping our clientele transform their businesses with the right public health talent, we also provide solutions that are guaranteed to aid in their success. We help businesses achieve optimal results by ensuring their systems are up to date, improving their strategies, enhancing their processes, and optimizing workflows.
Our Approach to Public Health Executive Recruitment
Your success is Keller’s success. We leave no stone unturned during our process to ensure that our clientele is able to reach their goals. Throughout our decades operating in the field, Keller has made a wealth of successful placements, thanks to our tailored solutions designed to fulfill each client’s unique requirements.
As mentioned, we begin our process by gaining deep knowledge of our client’s company, determining which gaps need to be filled, and locating areas where resources can be put to better use. These insights allow our team to adjust our process accordingly.
Continuous learning forms an important part of our mission for excellence. We stay informed on the latest industry findings and developments in the field, as well as the newest technological advancements. In this way Keller ensures that the candidates we supply are capable of traversing complex markets and overcoming challenges.
Furthermore, Keller values and prioritizes diversity during our search process. When selecting candidates, each person is chosen based on their compatibility with the company and their suitability for the open position. We hold no biases against any candidate’s gender, ethnicity, age, or religious beliefs. In this way Keller helps to foster a more inclusive workforce in the public health sector.
Behind Our Public Health Recruitment Approach
Over the years, our team of recruiters has built up a wealth of first-hand experience identifying talent for the public health industry. These experiences have taught us valuable lessons, and they have helped to shape our approach to executive search. One experience stands out in our memories for playing a significant role in developing the tailored approach we make use of today.
When we first opened our doors as an executive search agency in the field, we operated using a generic, industry-standard methodology. It worked well enough for the small group of companies we served at the time, and we never thought to change it. This moderate success led to the expansion of our client base, however, and soon we were hired by a larger, more influential client.
We applied the cookie-cutter approach we had become accustomed to for this project as well and expected good results. Unfortunately, we were unable to make a successful placement. Our generic approach failed to take all of our new client’s needs into consideration, and the candidates we had suggested, while qualified, were not the kind of professionals this company was looking for.
The experience was challenging, but it taught us the value of providing our clientele with tailored solutions instead of the limited, standardized approach we had been using.
Since then, our approach has impacted the field in a significant way, by inspiring other firms to make use of similar approaches and helping to shape a better understanding of executive search as a whole. As a result, the name Keller has become interchangeable with premier executive search and recruitment services.
