About Will Kelly

There's nothing more important to me than coming thorough for my clients and I do that by building them software engineering teams that stick together and ship. Tech Founders who hate recruiters are my main business because their time (and their team's) is at a premium and they're picky as hell but give me high trust. My few Enterprise clients use me for crucial engineering roles where they simply cannot make a bad hire because too much is at stake. The DevGrabr process wipes the floor with general IT agencies counting buzz-words on a resume.' I conduct 45-60 minute Zoom sessions with every engineer to build a 'State Of The Union' type profile with a focus on portfolio of work vs "years of experience with (tech X)." Technical hiring managers flip OUT about my profiles because they're sick of CV's and garbage recruiter pitches. All I do is build perm dev teams, that's it. So far in 2024 we're continuing our success with start-ups in particular and doing a bunch of AI/ML work for both Product and Consulting companies building new and baking AI into existing product offerings. When I'm not helping my clients grow their teams I'm creating content and helping bridge the gap between software engineers and recruiters who want to actually learn how to represent them properly. Huge sneakerhead, stand-up comedy, writer (pilots/features), husband in training, owner of multiple Shi Tzus, mid golfer & tech meme artisan. I don't use Vim. I don't use Arch. #SkillIssues

  • Devgrabr
    Recruiting & Training
    Devgrabr Sep 2020 - Present
    I started DevGrabr because there weren't any agencies with the sole focus of building perm software engineering teams and that's the only thing I was really interested in. Starting with VB6 about 18 years ago I've since built dev teams on pretty much every stack you can think of and our current client's are mostly JS/TypeScript/Ruby/Go/Rust/Scala/Java/.NET in the Product & Consulting space.

  • Headstorm

    Headstorm Jan 2021 - Feb 2022
    Addison, Texas, Us
    I’ve been involved with Headstorm in some form or another since it’s inception working hard to make sure we’re building one of the best engineering teams in the consulting space. The reason our clients are raving fans of our products is we hire the best people, assemble them into high performance squads and remove obstacles that prevent them from creating awesome software. My role as Engineering Community Manager involves recruiting and leading internal development programs that empower our engineers from both a professional and personal perspective as they contribute. Our culture of inclusion and taking care of each other as a team has always been a pillar of what it means to work at Headstorm and I’m excited to support our engineers while we’re engineering growth.

  • Diversant, Llc
    National Telecom Recruiting Director & Dallas Recruiting Manager
    Diversant, Llc Oct 2018 - Mar 2019
    Red Bank, New Jersey, Us
    After years of App Dev focus I’ve flipped the script to help Diversant focus their national delivery in the Telecom domain. With 5g upon us and the advent of other leading edge technology being implemented by some of our largest clients it’s an amazing space to build a centralized team. I will also be managing delivery for our local Dallas branch.
  • Springbokit
    Managing Director
    Springbokit Dec 2017 - Aug 2018
    Dallas, Texas, Us
    Started SpingbokIT from scratch with our founder to focus specifically on Apps Dev in DFW. Built team of 5 and went from "What should we name it?" to contract and perm billables in 7 months. Most of our clients are product companies or brick and mortar corporations who totally rely on enterprise applications. We recruit on a few platforms in particular, .NET, Java, end-to-end JS (Angular/React/Vue/Node) and Mobile (iOS/Android/Xamarin/Ionic). Don't need a full stack developer? We handle UI and back-end engineering as separate disciplines evaluating both portfolios and SQL skills. It's not just about code creation either, if you need Cloud/DevOps help in the areas of virtualization, automation, CI/CD (AWS/Azure/Jenkins/Docker/Kubernetes) we'd love to help assemble you an apps pit crew. To tie it all together SpringbokIT also works on the business side helping clients practicing Agile, so if you need to shrink that backlog or finally get that Jira config right we can help there too.
  • Hays
    Managing Director
    Hays Jan 2017 - Dec 2017
    London, England, Gb
    As the Managing Director I oversee our practice in Dallas TX, one of the fastest growing markets for IT in the U.S. We partner with both local and global companies to ensure they can hire top engineers using the most impactful technologies. If your organization is having particular trouble in the most competitive areas of IT and Apps Dev, we can certainly help. My team would love to build yours.
  • Modis
    Recruiting Director
    Modis Jan 2015 - Jan 2017
    Zurich, Zurich, Ch
    Ultimately I’m in charge of recruiting delivery, we are a large branch and have been the top performer in the Modis family for the past two years. Started on one side of the desk as a BDM (sales), got promoted in under a year to a Director role on the recruiting side. Because of my full desk experience and particular technical knowledge of apps dev, Modis leadership uses me in a bunch of different capacities. • Sales: I brought in our 3rd largest client as a BDM and still manage that account as it grows. I’m heavily involved in qualifying the new positions our sales team brings in and regularly meet with technical managers in person to accurately qualify requirements. I’ll act as a medic for accounts that have lost their way and need to be re-qualified. • Training: I’m a member of our Modis Training Committee, I train at the branch level and nationwide for both Modis and Adecco. There may be 5 – 2000 people on any given WebEx class, new hires on both the sales and recruiting side go through my Apps Dev Architecture & .NET training specifically. I can take a training need, design content, create content, deliver content, reinforce and report. I love that Modis utilizes me this way, it’s the super funnest part of my job.• Regional: I go to other Modis branches as needed to sit down with key clients and make sure we take a comprehensive job order, then turn around and train RDMs on recruiting for that particular need. I contribute regularly to bids and proposals for the many projects Modis has in our business development pipeline. I help our largest contact center in Denver hire sourcers and recruiters.
  • Modis
    Business Development Manager
    Modis Feb 2014 - Jan 2015
    Zurich, Zurich, Ch
    I took my position at Modis because it has the small, close knit company vibe I can thrive in, but also the powerful resources of a large corporation. We have an amazing recruiting team that allows me to focus on the one thing I do best, building dev teams for companies that really understand the importance of hiring the right coders and architects. *I'm specifically looking for new clients right now with openings on the .NET stack, web environments utilizing JS frameworks like Angular & Bootstrap, Java shops, companies that live or die by hiring top UI/UX developers and designers, mobile squads with web (HTML5/CSS3) and native needs (iOS/Android), and dev teams maximizing Open Source tech like PHP & Ruby.
  • Architecting Innovation / Ai Workforce
    Vp Recruiting / Solution Sales
    Architecting Innovation / Ai Workforce Apr 2013 - Dec 2013
    Dallas, Tx, Us
    Architecting Innovation has the top technical aptitude in the industry for enterprise level .NET applications, I'm proud of the team of Principal level consultants I helped them build. There is no better group of Architect/Developers on the planet if you want to maximize whatever you're doing with the Microsoft stack of technology, they create amazing stuff and fix problems no other consultancy can.
  • Technical Resource Group - Training Quality Center
    Training Manager
    Technical Resource Group - Training Quality Center Jun 2011 - Apr 2013
    I help my fellow TRG managers make our recruiters as effective as possible through an understanding that headhunting is all about sales, relationships and listening. We focus on specific tech platforms to gain an edge and expertise over general IT firms, our recruiters are knowledgeable advisors rewarded on performance vs. resume' shuffling customer service agents. Turning hungry newb salespeople into real deal headhunters who can service those top 10% positions that make postings and job boards useless is my favorite thing to do.
  • Technical Resource Group
    Recruiting Manager/Account Manager-Software
    Technical Resource Group Oct 2007 - Apr 2013
    I manage a team of specialty 'dev-cenrtric' recuiters with a 100% focus on software. We work with progressive companies doing big stuff on the internet like Fossil and Match.com. I'm also a full desk headhunter/biz developer that loves searching for candidates just as much as winning new clients, this will continue until the zombie apocalypse.
  • Macarthur Associates
    .Net Recruiter/Account Manager
    Macarthur Associates May 2006 - Sep 2007
    Us
    MacArthur was an N-tier style office with three specialized teams specializing in .NET, Java/J2EE and Network/Infrastructure positions for the DFW area. Primary focus was on full life cycle .NET developers and architects doing enterprise level development of both web and client server solutions. The primary methodology at MacArthur which I use as my platform to this very day is brokering relationships between hard to find passive candidates and the clients with mission critical needs who appreciate meeting them.
