Meet Our President and Founder, Mike Kestly

Mike Kestly started Kestly Development in 2000. Kestly Development helps companies hire and “develop” their people by using online “Job Match” assessments and other online programs. In addition to helping get the right person in the right job, Kestly Development helps develop the Management Team and Succession Planning. To help let the business run smoothly, we also provide online programs that increase efficiency – programs like Applicant Tracking Systems, HRIS system, and online performance review programs.

What We Do

We work with HR and Safety Departments in a variety of organizations, including manufacturing, banks/credit unions, service organizations, health care, government, insurance, education, transportation, and more.

What do we do? Sometimes “a question” can answer a question. Did you ever hire someone that didn’t work out? What did that cost you? Did you ever hire someone because you needed to fill a job fast and the person you hired worked out much better than you thought? We can help you get a much higher degree of confidence when hiring, and get all hiring managers using the same scientific, highly validated, reliable program.
