Access to Talent Other Firms Can't Reach.
Most recruiters wait for candidates to apply. KeyHires proactively connects you with exceptional talent through one AI-enabled hiring platform. From C-suite leaders to mid-career professionals, we build the right hiring process around your needs and how involved you want to be.
Three Practices. One AI-Enabled Platform.
KeyHires finds, engages, and hires talent that isn't actively looking, from the C-suite to mid-career roles, through three practices on one proprietary, AI-enabled platform.
How KeyHires Works, in 60 Seconds.
One platform. Three practices. One process worth seeing before you make the call. See how KeyHires approaches Executive Search, Talent Acquisition, and Talent Marketplace: from identifying the right talent to supporting the hiring process through close.
The Right Process for the Right Level of Involvement.
Executive Search, Talent Acquisition, and Talent Marketplace run on different playbooks by design, because a C-suite search, a high-volume campaign, and a client-led hiring effort are not the same problem.

Boutique Attention. Enterprise Capability.
One team, built to move like a specialist firm and think like a data-driven one, across all three practices.
Collaborators, Not Vendors
Every engagement starts with a conversation about culture, leadership, and trajectory, not a job description and a deadline. We understand the organization before we identify a single candidate.
Boutique Agility, Enterprise Capability
The responsiveness of a specialist firm with the research depth of a large one, and no unnecessary layers between you and the team running your search.
Fit Over Speed-to-Fill
Closing a requisition fast is not the goal. We find talent that fits the role, the culture, and the long-term plan, because the impact of a hire lasts well beyond the placement.
Powered by the AI-Enabled KeyHires Platform
AI-assisted candidate evaluation, proprietary company and contact data, and multichannel outreach built in-house. Not a plug-in to our process. The foundation of it.
Results, in Their Words.
From the team.
Perspective on hiring, leadership, and the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
KeyHires provides three hiring practices, all powered by the same AI-enabled KeyHires platform: Executive Search for C-suite and VP leadership, Talent Acquisition for high-volume mid-career hiring, and Talent Marketplace, our client-led practice where your team runs the hiring campaign on our platform, currently in beta.
Executive Search is a proactive approach to identifying and hiring senior and executive-level leaders. KeyHires manages the process from engagement and market research through candidate development, assessment, negotiation, close, and onboarding.
Talent Acquisition is KeyHires' programmatic hiring practice for mid-level roles hired at scale. We manage sourcing, outreach, interviewing, scoring, coaching, and negotiations, the same activities as Executive Search, built for volume. A single campaign might reach 1,000 candidates to fill 10 roles.
Executive Search is a fully managed model primarily designed for C-suite, Vice President (VP), and other critical leadership positions. Talent Acquisition runs the same activities, sourcing, outreach, and scoring, managed end to end by KeyHires, built for volume instead of a single search.
Talent Marketplace is KeyHires' technology-enabled, client-led hiring practice, currently in beta. KeyHires builds the foundation, sourcing candidate data, creating the marketing presentation, and developing outreach templates, and your team runs approximately 80% of the process directly on the platform.
KeyHires takes a proactive approach to candidate sourcing. The process includes market research, candidate development, curated candidate research, direct outreach, and targeted engagement rather than relying only on active applicants.
KeyHires combines three specialized hiring practices, Executive Search, Talent Acquisition, and Talent Marketplace, all running on one proprietary, AI-enabled hiring platform. That platform, not headcount, is what lets us move at the pace and scale traditional recruiting firms can't.
