Who We Are

Talent Acquisition Done Right

OUR STORY Talent Acquisition Done Right

Kelaca is a Talent Acquisition and Advisory firm, founded with a vision to redefine the recruiting experience. Headquartered in Raleigh, NC and serving clients nationwide, we have earned a strong reputation for our unique approach, collaborative partnerships, and outstanding results.

In an industry that has become highly commoditized, we believe typical recruiters have forgotten that they’re dealing with people, not products. We’re here to change that. We build relationships, create understanding, over communicate, and deliver results.

Our internal culture and core values are where we start to raise the bar. Our values shape the way we engage with our clients, candidates, and teammates. We work hard, have fun, and enjoy a company culture that is unmatched.

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.
