Alexander Executive Search (AES) Celebrates Nearly 10 Years of Excellence in Finding Top Engineering and Civil Engineering Talent
ORLANDO, FL, August 11, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Alexander Executive Search (AES), opens new tab is celebrating nearly a decade of recruiting excellence, connecting high-caliber talent with leading organizations across the United States through a distinctive, behavior-focused hiring methodology. Based in Orlando, the firm has carved out a niche in sourcing senior-level and C-suite professionals exclusively within the engineering, civil engineering, and oil and gas sectors, specializing in hard-to-fill, technical roles. Founded by Keith Fox, opens new tab, AES was born out of his desire to transform the way hiring is done. 'I've always believed there's a better way to recruit,' says Fox. 'I'm not interested in just filling positions; I'm focused on finding people who will truly thrive in a company's culture. Good recruitment goes beyond a transactional relationship; it's about ensuring alignment.' At the heart of AES's success is a multi-layered assessment process that blends scientific, objective evaluation with in-depth behavioral insights. While traditional recruitment often stops at reviewing resumes and verifying skills, Fox takes it further. 'Skills are a tick-box exercise. You can confirm them through a resume, references, or training records,' he explains. 'But people are hired on skills and experience, and fired on behavior and performance. Understanding how someone will operate, how they'll fit within a team, that's the defining factor.' The process begins by assessing the hiring manager and team to identify the behavioral traits needed for success in the role. This is followed by a rigorous evaluation of candidates that examines their presentation and mannerisms, their professional qualifications and technical knowledge, and, what Fox considers most critical, their behavioral drivers, including attitude, self-motivation, judgment, and values. This deeper layer of analysis is designed to prevent costly mis-hires and ensure that candidates are not only qualified but also aligned with the company's culture and long-term vision. The AES Dashboard Candidates receive a comprehensive briefing pack outlining the company, job description, responsibilities, and expectations, ensuring complete transparency before the first interview. AES's commitment to precision extends beyond the hiring stage. Fox offers a 12-month free replacement guarantee if a placement leaves or is terminated for performance reasons, a promise he has rarely had to fulfill in the company's history. Unlike agencies that rely on inbound applicants, AES is built on targeted headhunting. The AES team actively seeks out the best people for the job, often taking up to eight weeks to place the perfect candidate. His 'head, heart, and mind' approach ensures that he connects with candidates on a personal level, understands what motivates them, and presents opportunities in a way that engages both their logic and passion for the work. Fox credits AES's longevity to its ability to adapt to change. 'I've got a lifetime business because I'm always watching the market and adjusting to it,' he says. 'Recruitment will always be recruitment, but the way we do it, that's what gets results. We don't just forward resumes. We're interested in the whole person, their values, and how they'll contribute to a company's success.' As AES approaches its 10-year milestone, the company remains committed to delivering measurable, lasting impact for both clients and candidates. It aims to prove that in the high-stakes world of executive search, the right fit goes far beyond the resume.
