Keller is widely recognized as a leading real estate executive search and recruitment firm that specializes in matching talented candidates eager to advance their careers in the industry to the specific needs of our clients.
The real estate industry is a dynamic sector that includes the buying, selling, and renting of property. It also includes fields such as development, sales, brokerage, property management, lending, and professional services. The real estate industry is greatly influenced by shifts in interest rates, supply, and demand, as well as the global state of the economy.
This sector is attractive to job seekers for many reasons, including the potential for high earnings and flexible work schedules. It is also the ideal industry for professionals who thrive in a sales-driven work environment.
Home to some of the most diverse and talented professionals available, with a wide range of skill sets, qualifications, and expertise, the demand in this industry is high for candidates in specialized fields such as sustainability, finance, and technology. However, the real estate industry has also become saturated with many individuals vying for the same positions. While the sector typically experiences high turnover, the candidates competing for open positions outnumber the amount of vacancies available.
It can pose a significant challenge to find and hire the right person for your company and its culture in such a competitive industry. This is especially true for companies seeking qualified candidates with knowledge of the industry and extensive experience working in the field.
That is where engaging the recruitment services of a company like Keller can be helpful.
Keller’s experts utilize their extensive hands-on experience, specialized CRE recruiting skills, and advanced knowledge of the market to find and recruit top talent to meet your specific needs.
Unlike other recruitment companies, Keller is dedicated to perfectly synchronizing the resume of each candidate to the available job position in order to drive performance in your business and aid in your overall success.
To do this, we make use of a superior real estate executive search process that includes Assessment, Talent Acquisition, and Organization Transformation.
Our recruiters kick off the recruitment process with a meeting between the client and our team. This meeting allows us to assess the client’s needs by gaining a deep understanding of their company culture and team dynamics. We gain more knowledge about the vacancy that needs to be filled, such as what the role will require of new hires, what their job duties will be, and what challenges they may face during the course of their work.
Additionally, our experts aim to understand our client’s expectations for new recruits, including the qualifications, skills, experience, personality type, leadership traits, and work ethic they would like candidates to have.
Talent gap analysis is also an important part of the executive search and recruitment process. By comparing the specific requirements of our clients to their existing staff, Keller is able to accurately assess which gaps need to be filled in the company.
The insights we gain during this meeting are valuable, as our team uses them to establish parameters we use during our search for exceptional candidates.
The next step in our process is acquiring suitable candidates for our client. Our passionate team of recruiters makes use of a variety of channels (both conventional and unconventional) to identify and carefully select the most talented professionals ideally suited to our client’s needs. Additionally, we boast access to an international talent database through our recognized NPAworldwide partnership. We use this database to find the cream of the crop and access professionals who may not make themselves available elsewhere.
Our experts utilize their many years of experience and extensive academic and professional qualifications to seek out talented individuals for executive positions as well as mid-level and entry-level vacancies.
Our initial group of selected candidates then undergo a vetting process, during which we screen for criminal records and ensure the authenticity of resumes, references, and professional histories. We also make use of psychometric tests to ensure that the candidates we recommend have the personality traits, leadership styles, and work ethic our client is looking for.
The candidates who successfully pass our vetting process can be shortlisted and provided to the client, so that they may proceed with the interviewing and hiring processes.
Real estate is one of the most competitive industries when it comes to attracting and hiring a quality executive. However, Keller has the upper hand with our extensive expertise, gap assessment, and access to a big database of prospective employees.

Additionally, during our executive search process, we value inclusion and the fair treatment of candidates.

Over the years, Keller’s high standards and commitment to excellence have helped us build lasting relationships with our clientele. It has also helped us gain an enduring reputation for our high-quality solutions and reliable outcomes.
Throughout our many years operating as a leading recruitment agency, Keller has made a significant impact on the industry. The success we have achieved through our tailored process has caused a ripple effect, inspiring countless other firms to begin offering similarly customized services. In doing so, we have helped to shape the global understanding of executive search and recruitment, and our name has become synonymous with premier search services.
Our recruiters have also amassed a great deal of first-hand experience over the years, and we have used these experiences to guide us in developing the tailored recruitment approach we make use of today.
When we first opened our doors as an agency, we began serving a small number of companies using a generic recruitment approach. This approach worked well for our limited client pool, as they all had similar needs.
However, when a larger and more influential company engaged our services, we quickly realized that our generic method would not suffice as we struggled to provide them with the right candidates. While the professionals we recommended had the right qualifications and level of experience, we failed to take into account how their personalities and leadership styles would fit in with the existing team and company culture. We were unable to make a successful placement, and it was a challenging time for our recruiters.
This experience is particularly memorable because of the transformative effect it had on our agency. It showed us the many limitations that come with using a generic approach and helped us realize how valuable it is to tailor our methodology to each client’s requirements, instead.
Since then, it has become our mission to customize our solutions to provide the companies we serve with talent that can make a real difference. In so doing, Keller can play a vital role in your success.
