Built Inside High-Performance Engineering Cultures
Kelly Advisory was shaped in environments where early teams ship fast, solve complex problems and hire people who can keep pace. Our work began in 2010 supporting developer ecosystems, cloud platforms and engineering-led teams during high-pressure growth.
We learned to hire with clarity, simplicity, technical understanding and disciplined execution. These principles guide how we help founders build teams that move quickly and operate with precision.
We do not sell staffing. We solve operational problems. We help founders hire operators who increase output, reduce execution risk and strengthen momentum — from GTM leaders who drive revenue to engineers who build resilient systems. This is the foundation of the Velocity Hiring Method.
