The Keystone Advantage

At Keystone Partners, we are dedicated to providing superior career management services. There are several factors which give you an advantage when partnering with Keystone for your career management services, including:

Consulting Staff: The caliber of our consulting staff is the hallmark of Keystone Partners. Each of our divisions employs only the finest talent available. It shows. Of our staff, several members have advanced degrees (Ph.D., Ed.D., Master's) in career development related fields. Other consultants have authored nationally published career texts, career transition manuals and online career centers. In addition, our consultants are regularly sought out for their expertise by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Boston Globe, Boston Business Journal and human resources trade publications. Our employees are industry leaders and community activists, heading boards and serving the Greater Boston community.

Customers and Alumni: We strive to build life-long relationships with both our customers and the executives they entrust to us. Many of our clients have been with us throughout our 25+ year history. Alumni (participants who have gone through one of our career transition programs) of Essex Partners and Keystone Associates participate in the Keystone Alumni Network and regularly attend our special events and utilize our alumni services.

Strategic Alliances: As a leader in our field, we realize the importance of partnering with the best. In addition to our customer and alumni contacts, we have long-standing relationships with the executive recruitment and human resources communities.

We are equally responsive, flexible, focused and have a passion for excellence. There is no exception. Simply put, we do what it takes for our clients to succeed.
