I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kipp at West500 during my job search, and I can honestly say he was a game-changer. From our very first conversation, he took the time to deeply understand my background, career goals, and the kind of environment where I would thrive.

What impressed me most about West500 was their transparency and advocacy. I was kept informed at every stage and given candid feedback. Kipp didn’t just ‘fill a role’, he matched me with an opportunity that aligns with my skills and values.

If you’re a candidate looking for someone who is proactive, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success—or a company seeking a recruitment partnership who can identify and land top talent—I can’t recommend West500 and Kipp highly enough.

I had and continue to have a fantastic experience working with Matt Joelson at West 500. We met when he reached with a company that he thought I might be a fit for. As we talked, I was impressed by how much he knew about the position, the team, and the company. He shared their vision, and it was infectious. I ended up joining that company, and it’s without question, the best job I’ve ever had. Matt is special because he’s not just trying to find a placement but instead strives to find the perfect place. As we’ve kept in touch, I can see his excitement for the company and the energy he puts into finding great people to join the team. I see why both companies and people trust Matt.

I could not be happier with West500. Especially in tough times, I rely on recruiters to help navigate the jobs market. Rob gave me the prep I needed for the interview gauntlet, and the context for making a decision to leap. Matt helped me navigate benefits and salary to keep my family covered during the transition. I’m glad I found partners to help me move forward in my career.

Daniel Hill, Senior Software Engineer – Stoke Space

Working with Matt Joelson at West 500 partners was a delight. Transitioning to a new position is a major life event that requires deep consideration. Matt helped me navigate the decision process to join an early stage startup despite having an offer in hand from a major corporation in Seattle. Our family was cautious about joining another startup and wanted to be sure the work environment would not interfere with our home life. I spent six happy years with that company which achieved unicorn status with over a billion dollars in market valuation. Without Matt’s diligence and kindness we would certainly have missed the opportunity.

I had the pleasure of working with Kipp, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best professionals I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with. He identified a great opportunity for me and moved quickly to secure my contract. Kipp played a key role in helping me build a strong, lasting relationship with an exceptional company. I highly recommend Kipp to anyone seeking a dedicated and results-driven professional to work with.
