Victor Kelly

“I’ve worked with several talented and committed people over the years. Victor ranks among the very best. I would jump at the chance to work with him again. I proudly recommend him for any opportunity to lead or support effort around the development/improvement of workforce systems in support of a positive employmee environment. My experience working with Victor for over 15 years has been a source of deep pride of his professional development and accomplishments. His good humor, extraordinary care, attention to detail and creative problem solving were evident from the first day. His contribution to my and my company’s growth and success was significant. He was the first person I asked to take on the account management role, which until that point I had been handling personally. As any small business owner will tell you, handing off direct customer relationship care and feeding can be frightening. I never had any such concerns over Victor, and he did not disappoint. In fact, he was an improvement over me in many ways! The growth that Victor helped enable brought new critical needs to our company, among them was the addition of a full-time HR resource. Being in the service industry, the only thing that rivals the importance of our customers is our staff. When we asked what qualities we needed for excellence in the new role, the obvious answer was Victor (good humor, extraordinary care, attention to detail and creative problem solving). He dug in and took it upon himself to learn the basics and quickly became the perfect HR partner for us. Since then, he has never stopped enhancing his human resource professional skills and knowledge.”

“Victor is a talented, conscientious, and caring leader. I have been fortunate to work with Victor for over 10 years as he has grown his career in HR at Switchfast and now Ascend. His ability to connect and support employees in whatever area they need is as good as I have seen. He is an impressive recruiter of talent, excelling in this critical role through many phases of accelerated growth and urgent need. He has built and managed strong recruiting teams multiple times and led them each time to excellent results, delivering for the business teams he supports. In short, I have been consistently impressed with Victor’s approach, effort, and accomplishment, and he has my highest possible recommendation.”
