EXECUTIVE SEARCH
The drivers that guide us are Networking, Innovation, and Speed. We bring together the professionalism of different sectors, rapidly activating synergies between business skills and reference markets thanks to the support of forward-looking technologies, partnerships, and solutions.
Our Method is based on an accurate analysis of the context and the client’s organization. Following the mapping of activities relating to “companies and target positions”, we proceed with the screening of candidates in our database. The selection process begins with one-to-one interviews and in-depth, customized assessments. The resulting reports are shared with stakeholders in strict confidence.
A Keystone partner is always present at client-candidate meetings in order to better introduce the application process and provide any further details required. At the same time, the partner provides negotiation support and remains in constant dialog with the client to enable real-time sharing of information, in order to ensure a rapid and effective hiring process.
EXECUTIVE ASSESSMENT & DEVELOPMENT
The assessment or in-depth analysis of managerial potential allows us to support top management in strategic decisions that relate to the human resources present within the company, designing career paths that are functional not only to the company’s culture and its corporate values, but also to personal motivations.
Keystone assists its clients in the assessment of potential using rigorous methodologies and reliable and innovative tools, which it selects through a constant process of scouting the best market practices.
At the same time, it offers a strongly personalized approach, which it adapts to suit every individual case, thanks to the competences of the partners that make it possible to match rigorous methodology to the specific characteristics of the client company.
Assessment paths can also provide valuable insights in the selection process, in addition, of course, to being a stand-alone service that is indispensable for identifying tomorrow’s leaders.
EXECUTIVE COACHING & COUNSELLING
Executive coaching focuses on the development of soft skills through a partnership with the manager who, through a process of self-analysis, identifies modes of behavior that are more functional than the expected target. Reality analysis, identification of which muscles to train, techniques and action strategies, and constant feedback are the dimensions that enable improvements in both the client’s performance and quality of life.
Keystone only offers tailor-made coaching paths, where the client is the true director of his/her own transformation. It is a journey that client and coach embark on together, during which they will define concrete and achievable objectives, passing through the intermediate stages until they achieve the desired results, enriched by both the experience itself and by mutual esteem.
Counselling is a relationship methodology that aims to support the manager in complex situations or during moments that generate discomfort, stress, or misalignment with respect to the goals or environment in which he/she operates. It is an intervention that addresses a real situation that is being experienced by the person in real-time, with the aim of focusing on the problem, examining in detail the situations or behaviors that have proved problematic, and identifying the critical point from which it is possible to originate change.
ONBOARDING PROGRAM
Taking care of the relationship between a company and its employee is fundamental at all stages, but it is particularly important when the new hire enters the company.
Keystone therefore offers its clients a welcome-on-board activity for its newly selected managers, which is characterized by a short coaching path (3-6 sessions) aimed at managing and facilitating the subject’s initiation into the new business context to help them to fully grasp the specificities and requirements and avoid potential cultural misunderstandings.
Within the scope of this activity, a protected space is created in which the subject can reflect and experience behavior in a manner that is free from conditioning and value judgments. In this way, the time necessary for orientation and getting up to speed in the new role are optimized, the manager’s motivation is positively influenced, and the image of the company as an attentive and reliable employer is also significantly enhanced, and this today represents one of the main choice factors, especially at high levels.
Our industries
Clients who have worked with Keystone know that a specific project leads to the development of a long-term relationship, because our job is not confined to the selection of one member of staff but extends to a long-term consulting partnership.
