Though Sean Kelley has experience with the Korean martial art – Tae Soo Do, he is not to be confused with the popular Sean Kelley black belt master martial artist. Simply put, this Sean Kelley is not a dangerous man, so his cat says.
Sean grew up loving technology. He had read magazines displaying cool systems like the TRS-80′s, Apple II, and Commodore64/Vic20′s back in their glory. It wouldn’t be until his honorable discharges, two of them, from the US Army that he would get back to the world of technology.
Sean & Zielke
Sean started cutting his teeth as an IT professional by working for a small computer store in the Madison, Wisconsin. He later opened his own computer retail store selling white box machines, offering computer repair, upgrades, as well as small-scale computer networking services.
After the dot com bust of 2000, Mr. Kelley entered a role in customer service for a local biotech company. The passion for IT burned. It would not be until 2006 that Sean would find his true strengths – people and information technology (IT).
Combining his passion for IT, and ability to garner quick rapport with people, he entered the world of IT staffing where he was one of the top recruiters in the nation for his publicly-traded Fortune 1000 employer. When skills of the staff leaned more towards recruiting Sean opted to balance the team by working the client side of staffing. At this point Sean could see that working with experienced IT professionals, finding them opportunities, would be more enjoyable than getting into the IT field.
Currently Mr. Kelley is a corporate recruiter that leverages the power of social media to help attract talent while continuing to source, screen, interview, negotiate, and place qualified IT professionals within the information technology industry.
When he’s not acting as ‘recruiter guy’ Sean can be found playing Dungeons & Dragons with his friends, hanging out with his lovely wife of 10+ years, blogging, listening to podcasts, learning a programming language, or hanging out online keeping up with IT trends.
This blog provides an outlet for Sean allowing him to share his thoughts on subjects like staffing, information technology, social media, job opportunities, and more.
