Blue Signal Summit Awards 2019

February 1, 2019 by Lacey Walters

2018 was a record-breaking year for the Blue Signal team. We worked on 400+ jobs, made 119 placements, doubled our team size, expanded offices and moved our company headquarters all while exceeding our company goals. At the Blue Signal Summit held in Phoenix, Arizona, we talked extensively about goals – as individuals as well as a team. Next year, we plan to raise the bar even higher and expand our team once again.

None of the strides we have made as a company would have been possible without the incredible efforts of our stellar team. Specifically, our top performers. At the Summit, we gave special recognition to 3 notable team members for their achievements.

Bryan O’Connor

Within his first year in the industry, Bryan was quickly promoted to Recruiting Manager. He has gone above and beyond in his efforts with candidates and clients. Bryan’s diligence throughout the year was reflected in his numbers. At the Summit, Senior Managing Partner Matt Walsh presented Bryan with an award for Top Cash-In in 2018.

Art Reed

Art has been a mentor and driving cultural force of Blue Signal since he came on board.  His voice and presence put a smile on the faces of clients, candidates and colleagues alike.  He recently was given the well-deserved promotion to Managing Partner. His client and candidate advocacy and dedication earned him the title of Top Biller for 2018.

Lacey Walters

Lacey’s hard work, innovative nature, and ability to adapt to anything thrown her way led to her recent promotion to Director of Operations and the Blue Signal MVP Award for 2018. Her dedication to Blue Signal’s initiatives, clients, candidates, and operations have significantly impacted the results all recruiters and the firm have experienced in the last year.

These 3 individuals have truly exceeded all company goals and the expectations of the organization. Whether it be weekends, nights, holidays, or after hours, they have put their clients and candidates first. Their hard work and attitude has helped make Blue Signal the best recruiting firm on the planet. This candidate, client, and colleague first mentality directly reflects Blue Signal’s ethics, and core values – which is why they are not only impactful leaders in the company, but recipients of these prestigious awards and true drivers of the Blue Signal cultural organization.

In 2019, we plan to keep up this trajectory and continue to be the best recruiting firm in the space.  Blue Signal thanks each of these individuals for their hard work and effort. We are excited about what 2019 and the future brings for each of them as well as Blue Signal, our customers, and our clients.

Blue Signal Summit, 2019

January 22, 2019 by Lacey Walters

Blue Signal Search is unlike any other recruiting firm of its kind – so naturally, we had to have a holiday party just as unique as we are. In January of 2019, we held the first annual Blue Signal Summit, a three-day team gathering to celebrate a year of industry success. Each day was jammed packed with learning, team building activities, industry speakers, games, awards, great food and festivities. We were able to wrap up 2018, set goals for 2019 and beyond, as well as celebrate all we have achieved thus far.

For the event, our entire staff joined under one roof in our new HQ in Phoenix, Arizona. This was the first time some of us met in person! In the spirit of team building, we had meetings where we reviewed our best practices, discussed our company values, and underwent advanced trainings.

Blue Signal Summit Conference

Blue Signal brought in Pinnacle Society elite and top performing recruiter Joe Rice to discuss what is and is not working in recruiting today. We covered objectives about leadership, company culture, change management, and organizational growth. The team learned more about the industry and best practices to better serve our clients and candidates in the future.

Joe Rice Guest Speaker

Throughout our conferences, the team talked about our growth and about fine tuning our processes. We strategized as a company and talked about upcoming initiatives and long-term goals. Most importantly, we recognized the achievements from the last year and awarded those people who helped us get there.

Blue Signal Promotions 2018

In 2018, Blue Signal made 119 placements and worked on over 400 jobs. Our biggest year yet also saw 8 new hires and 4 major promotions. Looking ahead to 2019, we are training and onboarding a new class of 9 recruiters before the end of January.

Blue Signal 2018 Review

The Summit helped us focus on what is most important – who we are and where we want to be. Saturday, we got together showcase our accomplishments. In the morning the sales team had a golf tournament at the Orange Tree Golf Resort. That evening, we met with our significant others at the beautiful Biltmore Hotel to finish the Summit with a formal dinner. This Blue Signal family is proud of 2018’s accomplishments and is ready to do what it takes to become the best recruiting firm on the planet!
