Who We Are
OUR STORY Redefining the Recruiting Experience
Kelaca is a Recruiting Solutions firm, built on the belief that hiring isn’t just about filling roles—it’s about building relationships, fostering understanding, and driving long-term success. Headquartered in Raleigh, NC, and serving clients worldwide, we have earned a reputation for our personalized approach, collaborative partnerships, and outstanding results.
In an industry that often prioritizes speed over substance, we do things differently. We blend AI-powered tools with a human-centered approach to help organizations navigate the evolving hiring landscape with confidence. We don’t just recruit—we connect top talent with companies where they can thrive.
Our internal culture and core values set the foundation for everything we do. Kindness, Enthusiasm, Accountability, and a passion for going Above and Beyond aren’t just words to us, they define the way we engage with our clients, candidates, and teammates. At Kelaca, we work hard, think smarter, and have fun doing it. Because when people succeed, businesses thrive.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN Culture + Operations
Most company core values are embodied in dusty plaques on the wall. Not at Kelaca. We live and breathe our values every day. We were tired of top-down, leadership-driven company cultures. Instead, we wanted a culture that was both defined and shaped by our team. Then we found the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) – a structured, scalable, values-based operating model, to take our business to the next level. Our incorporation of EOS strengthens our processes and culture which allows us to deliver exceptional results, time and time again.
Kindness
We believe in following the Platinum Rule, treating our clients, candidates and teammates as we would want to be treated—with kindness, fairness, respect and integrity.
Enthusiasm
We believe in creating an enthusiastic and exceptional experience for our clients, candidates and teammates with every opportunity and having a positive attitude about our daily actions.
Learning
We believe in constant learning, being creative and taking initiative as it comes to our process, our service offerings and ultimately our personal growth and development.
Accountability
We believe in holding ourselves and each other accountable to our Core Values, our individual and team responsibilities, our service levels and results with our clients, our communities and the growth and development of our teammates and Kelaca overall.
Collaboration
We believe in working together selflessly to constantly deliver on the bigger picture for our clients, candidates and our teammates, always putting the company and our partners ahead of ourselves, committed to being exceptional in our industry.
Above and Beyond
We believe in going above and beyond with every opportunity and interaction with our clients, candidates and teammates, constantly working to improve and far exceed our partners expectations.
