Recruiter Spotlight: Kellen Van Amersfort Named Rookie of the Quarter

Need to hire a few talented software developers….like yesterday? Executive Recruiter Kellen Van Amersfort is your guy!

Recently, one of Van Amersfort’s top clients in the Bay Area called him with a pressing request. The client needed two Android developers in a hurry.

So, “after going through CyberCoders’ database and finding a handful of exceptional candidates, my client landed on two professionals. They interviewed and extended an offer right away,” Van Amersfort says. “One candidate accepted the offer on the same day, since the offer was $20,000 higher than her current base salary.”

The other talented Android developer was in a more challenging situation.

She was a hardworking mom with a daughter who was recovering from some health issues. The candidate needed to be at home with her for another month until daycare resumed.

“Without hesitation, I reached out to my client to explain the situation, and they allowed my candidate to work from home for the first month,” Van Amersfort says. “On top of that, they gave my candidate an extra month to work from home to make sure she could care for her child and return to the office when she was good and ready.”

His deep commitment to serving others is what makes Van Amersfort one of CyberCoders’ rising superstars. After joining the House of CyberCoders just about a year ago, Van Amersfort has already proven himself as one of the most passionate recruiters around.

Time and time again, Van Amersfort’s resilient drive and commitment help him deliver amazing results. The CyberCoders family recognized his hard work and amazing achievements by naming Van Amersfort Rookie of the Quarter earlier this year!

What drives you to go above and beyond for your candidates and clients?

Not letting people down who have put a great deal of faith in me drives me to succeed every day.

Furthermore, and more importantly, my newborn daughter pushes me to get up every day and exceed my clients’ expectations. Providing her with a good lifestyle is important to me. 

To do so, I have to deliver at a level of service to my clients that adds value to their company. My goal is to be my clients staffing department, and add value to their company by providing top-level candidates and a more efficient service than what our competitors can offer.
