About Ben Decker

Thanks for taking a moment to visit my profile — I appreciate your time and interest in learning more about my journey with Kelly Services.For more than two decades, I’ve been part of Kelly Services’ mission to connect people to work in ways that enrich their lives. While my role isn’t recruiting directly, my purpose aligns closely — helping organizations design and implement workforce strategies that create measurable business impact.As a tenured management consultant, I partner with clients to navigate the complexities of today’s talent market — from workforce planning to supplier optimization, direct sourcing, RPO, MSP, and beyond. My approach is consultative and data-driven, but also grounded in authenticity and understanding. I take pride in tailoring each solution to the client’s unique operating reality — ensuring they achieve both top talent and bottom-line results.Outside of work, I find balance and joy on the sidelines of youth sports, on the golf course (often just off the fairway), or exploring new trails with my wife and three sons. Whether in the field or in life, I believe in staying curious, coachable, and connected to what matters most.If you’d like to connect or exchange insights on workforce strategy, feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn — I always welcome thoughtful conversations with peers and leaders passionate about the future of work.
