Kayla van Hoff joins Better Than Found search firm as recruiting assistant

Kayla van Hoff has joined Better Than Found, a professional and executive recruitment firm focusing on industrial sectors in manufacturing, engineering, and construction, as a recruiting assistant. Van Hoff previously worked as a recruiter with two recruiting firms, one national firm specializing in positions at e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing facilities and the other focusing on sales recruiting in healthcare, technology, and consulting sectors.

“I am so pleased to have found somebody like Kayla to help manage BTF’s growth,” said Ben Talbert, CEO of Better Than Found. “Since founding BTF more than two years ago, I’ve been very busy learning and investing in my clients’ businesses, helping candidates navigate their professional careers, and just trying to keep up with growth. Kayla has brought so much organization, freedom, and peace to the business and I value both her recruiting experience and her organizational and people skills. That’s a rare mix!”

“When I joined BTF, I was a bit burned out on the transactional nature of recruiting,” said Van Hoff. “The reputation and trust that Ben has developed with both his clients and with candidates has been astounding to me. He has made the process much less metrics-driven and far more relationship-oriented. His wealth of experience both as an engineer and as a recruiter has meant that clients and candidates listen to his insights and see him as a trusted advisor.”

Van Hoff graduated from Clemson University in 2019 with a BA in Human Resources Management and Services. She volunteers as the worship leader at Hope Church, and enjoys Crossfit Taylors in her free time.
