Client Testimonials
“Admittedly, I did not have much experience utilizing executive search firms. I was pretty confident that I knew all of the senior talent in the industry. But in looking to a senior business leadership role, I was humbled to realize that not everyone wanted to move to NYC. That’s when I brought in Bill. I can sum up my experience in two words: talent and leverage. Bill and his team surfaced qualified talent that we never knew existed. His research and vetting process made the most efficient use of my team’s time and resulted in a short list of candidates, all of whom would have been terrific fits. After we made the hire, I told Bill that using his service was the highest ROI initiative of the year.”

“I have worked with Kelly & Company for the last 15 years. They have been an invaluable strategic advisor as I have built high-performing teams in each of the businesses that I have managed. They are focused on my success and take the time to understand my business strategy, culture and team dynamics. With this in mind, they are able to find me the right person at the right time for my business. Other executive recruiters approach their work as a transactional business. Kelly & Company approaches it as a strategic necessity. I would never work with anybody else.”

Candidate Testimonials
“Switching roles, companies and responsibilities is a monumental life change. But working with Bill at Kelly & Company didn’t make it feel that way. From the start of the recruitment process to signing my contract, Bill’s support, knowledge, communication skills and honesty made me feel like he had my best interests in mind. He knew the role would be the best fit for me because he understood what I wanted from my next career opportunity – and what my current employer wanted in a leader. I knew this change in my career was right because of his transparency about the role and dedication to ensuring I was the right fit. Five years later – I love my team, my work and the colleagues I represent.”
