Pros

- Very fun, entrepreneurial in its office structure. Each office sets its own expectation with some limited corporate oversight. - Base salary is decent for industry standards. - Each office is organized different and the people in other offices are great to partner with. - Commission structure is better then high-volume staffing agencies. - Not a metrics driven company, won't pull call records or beat you down for not hitting unrealistic numbers of submittals, interviews, placements, etc.

Cons

- Very little training. Most people have been the industry before and know what they are doing. But the ones that haven't and are not in a mature office, good luck learning something. - Can be a very political environment. - Greed - Very Business Development centric. Not held to any standard and quick to blame recruiters for unfillable job orders. - Favoritism is very obvious with certain offices.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
