2020-2021 Blue Signal Virtual Summit Awards

January 14, 2021 by Aylish DeVore

In 2020, Blue Signal expanded its recruiting team to 24 full-time recruiters, brought on an additional 3 operations team members, and awarded several promotions to some of its senior team members. We placed over 300 qualified candidates in exciting new roles, and despite the difficult circumstances brought on by Covid-19, we were able to exceed our annual revenue from 2019. This year our annual Blue Signal Summit looked a little different as it was held virtually, rather than in-person in Scottsdale, Arizona. None the less, we were elated to come together to review our record-breaking 2020 awards and discuss big plans for 2021 and beyond.

If it weren’t for our incredible leadership, we would not be where we are today. At the Summit, Blue Signal Owner and Executive Vice President, Matt Walsh, announced several awards to recognize some of our top performers and exemplary mentors.

Top Cash In & Top Billings 2020 - Ryan Walsh

Top Cash In & Top Billings 2020 - Ryan Walsh

Within his first two years in the industry, Ryan Walsh has achieved the awards for Top Cash-In and Top Billings two years in a row - a feat unheard of in recruiting. This past year he was promoted to Senior Recruiting Manager for his diligence and eagerness to share knowledge with junior members of the team. While accepting his award, Ryan took the time to thank his team and the fellow recruiters that worked together on split placements that all contributed to securing these milestones. He also gave a special shoutout to our Project Manager Kimberly Sjurson, who was brought on just six months ago and has truly made a huge impact at Blue Signal through her hard work and dedication. 

MVP Award 2020 - Lacey Walters

MVP Award 2020 - Lacey Walters

As the “lifeblood of Blue Signal,” Lacey Walters was recognized as the three-time recipient of the MVP, Top Contributor award. During his speech, Matt mentioned that without Lacey’s daily, behind-the-scenes work, none of what we do at Blue Signal would be possible. Over the years, Lacey has been able to grow her team, and by building an incredible support system she leads the execution of all marketing aspects for Blue Signal with ease. She is truly the company’s MVP and has proven it time and time again as she contributes to the company’s overall success and earns this acknowledgment.

Record-Breaking 2020 Awards - Jonathan Lee

Excellence Award 2020 - Jonathan Lee

In his announcement, Matt congratulated Jonathan Lee with the nickname “Jonny Excellence,” as this award was created specifically with him in mind. Matt voiced his appreciation of all Jonathan’s support, as he is always there to help with the most positive attitude and continues to put in the extra mile in all he does. As the first recipient of the Best Support Award at last year’s summit, it comes with no surprise that Jonathan is yet again acknowledged for his hard work. Jonathan is constantly focused on excellence for himself and the team and is truly a beacon of the word. We’re extremely grateful to have Jonathan as part of the team!

Record-Breaking 2020 Awards - Kelsey Campion

Top Contractor Billings 2020 - Kelsey Campion

With over $100K in contractor billings, Kelsey Campion secured the award for the Top Contractor Billings in 2020. Matt said it best when he described Kelsey as an “absolute machine” when it comes to contract roles. He mentioned her extreme dedication and work ethic as she is always making herself available by working nights, weekends, and holidays to secure her roles and keep pushing for more. Kelsey’s efforts this year played a huge part in Blue Signal being recognized as part of Forbes’ annual list of America’s Best Temporary Staffing Firms for 2020. We don’t know how she does it, but she continues to improve and outperform her personal records on a regular basis.

Record-Breaking 2020 Awards - Brent Stokes

First Year Top Billings 2020 - Brent Stokes

In order to recognize Brent Stokes’ mind-blowing performance, this award was newly created to recognize his achievements as a new member of the Blue Signal team. With almost 4 years of recruiting experience behind him, Brent joined Blue Signal in February of 2020 and was able to secure over $300K in total billings in the remaining 10 months of the year. In his speech, Matt congratulated Brent on all he has accomplished and shared his appreciation for Brent’s dedication to learning, and for serving as a role model for others to learn from. We hope to replicate this kind of success and drive in future recruiters to come.

These 5 individuals embody Blue Signal’s core values of excellence, transparency, integrity, commitment, and respect. They put clients and candidates first, no matter the circumstance; and drive the culture of the organization through leading by example. These standout team members earned their prestigious recognition, and we are all excited to see what success 2021 will bring them, and the company as a whole.

2020 Blue Signal Summit Awards

January 27, 2020 by Amber Lamb

In 2019, Blue Signal expanded their recruiting team to 17 full-time recruiters, brought on an additional 3 operations team members, and awarded several promotions to some of its senior team members. We placed over 150 qualified candidates in exciting new roles, and our annual revenue exceeded that of the last 3 years combined. During our annual Blue Signal Summit, held in Scottsdale, Arizona, we reviewed our record-breaking 2019 and discussed our big plans for 2020 and beyond.

If it weren’t for our incredible leadership, we would not be where we are today. At the Summit, Blue Signal Owner and Sr. Managing Partner, Matt Walsh, announced several awards to recognize some of our top performers and exemplary mentors.

2019 Rookie of the Year - John Stuart

Summit 2020 - Awards - John

Having joined our team late-January 2019, John Stuart jumped into his first year of recruiting head first. During John’s first few months he almost lost steam, but as the management team reassured - the fruits of his labor would pay off. And once it did, it really paid off. With the securing of several placements, and even bringing on a few new clients of his own, John truly worked to earn the recognition of Rookie of the Year for 2019.

Top Cash-In Award 2019 - Ryan Walsh

Within his first year in the industry, Ryan Walsh was promoted to Recruiting Manager for his diligence and eagerness to share knowledge with junior members of the team. That year, he brought in what would quickly become some of our best clients. From there, it was no surprise that placement after placement, Ryan would achieve the Top Cash-In for 2019.

Summit 2020 - Awards - Ryan 1

Top Billings 2019 - Ryan Walsh

Ryan’s dedication and close work with his clients also helped him secure an additional award for Top Billings in 2019. During the Summit, company owner and Ryan’s older brother, Matt, reminded Ryan of the trials he faced his first year. Matt even admitted that although they are brothers, he worked Ryan harder than anyone else on the team. Regardless, Ryan took the reins and certainly made his brother and the company proud.

MVP, Top Contributions 2019 - Lacey

Summit 2020 - Awards - Lacey 2

As the “lifeblood of Blue Signal,” Lacey Walters was recognized as the two-time recipient of the MVP, Top Contributor award. During his speech, Matt recalled the day they hired Lacey, stating, “Talking about the growth and future plans for the organization, she told me her hands were shaking because she was so excited.” We all truly believe we would not be where we are today if not for Lacey’s dedication and creativity.

2019 Best Support Award - Jonathan

Summit 2020 - Awards - Jonathan 2

A new award to the Blue Signal Summit lineup, the Best Support Award was created specifically for this winner. And as anyone in the company can attest, there is no one more supportive or loyal to the company than Jonathan Lee. The literal first person in, last person out of the office day in and out is always Jonathan. If you needed anything, at any hour of the day or night, he would answer your call. Jonathan continually motivates, inspires, and elevates each member of the team and is well-deserving of this accolade.

These 4 individuals embody Blue Signal’s core values - excellence, transparency, integrity, commitment, and respect. They put clients and candidates first, no matter the circumstance; they drive the culture of the organization through leading by example. These leaders earned this prestigious recognition, and we are all excited to see what success 2020 will bring them, and the company as a whole.
