The Advantages of Partnering with Keystone Associates
At Keystone Associates, our philosophy and approach are based on our dedication to providing superior career management services.  Our high-quality services, responsiveness, flexibility and technology truly add value every day to client companies and their employees.

As a locally owned and operated firm, Keystone has the full range of flexibility to invest in and deliver the very best services available.  We are completely focused on serving both our customers and the employees they have entrusted to our care.

There are several additional factors which give you an advantage when partnering with Keystone for your career management services, including:

Experience.  Keystone Associates was founded in 1982.  For more than 20 years, we have seen our customers through upturns and downward cycles in the economy and working environments.  Throughout the years, we have remained focused on our goal of being New England’s leading career management company – one with the local expertise to provide our customers with timely solutions to issues impacting the regional economy.

Staff.  We place a very high value on the importance of the advice and counsel our consultants provide.  As a result, we have developed a staff of experienced and talented career management professionals.  We believe our consulting expertise sets us apart.  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 development texts, career transition manuals and an online career center.  All consultants are Keystone employees who have made career management their chosen profession.

Technology.  Technology continues to play an expanding role in re-employment and external job searches.  At Keystone, every workspace contains a personal computer outfitted with a high-speed internet connection and current software releases.  The Keystone website supplements our one-on-one consulting with a secured Candidates area featuring links to career advice and job search sites, the online Keystone JobSite and state-of-the-art databases for private and public company research.  To assist individuals in learning how to get the most out of an interactive job search, Keystone offers weekly Technology Training sessions.  Through Keystone Associates’ affiliation with Career Partners International, we offer access to the Online Career Center in some of our programs.

Location and Amenities.  Keystone has three conveniently located offices – one in the heart of downtown Boston, one in the technology rich Route 128 area, and one in MetroWest.  Each office features multiple work areas (both private and public), a career resource area, training/conference room and kitchen facilities.

Global Reach.  Through a founding partnership with  Career Partners International, LLC, we are able to offer our services globally with over 180 locations in 45 countries.

This network is an extremely valuable resource for client companies with multiple locations and candidates looking to conduct their search beyond the New England marketplace.

Partnership.  Our partnership philosophy extends to our client companies and candidates.  With clients, we develop a consultative approach which involves continuous, reciprocal communication.  In order to ensure the organization’s goals are being met, we assign a lead account manager from start to finish for each project.  Each candidate works one-on-one with a professional career consultant.  Working in partnership, they formulate a personal career plan designed to lead the candidate to success in a timely fashion while making sure they transition into a new opportunity that is right for them.
