Pros

Every office is its own LLC so the treatment may not be consistant across the board. The corporate vibe is very positive until you get back home.

Cons

, but the office is very cliquish. If you weren't there from the beginning you are not looked at very highly. Constantly was talked down to and when I had ideas they were shot down. I felt often felt defeated and just gave up on trying. The comp plan was abismal. I have never seen splits like that before. Great if you are in sales not good if you are a recruiter. The sales gets 60% of everyone of your placements. You get 40%. Even though you are the one working your butt off for placements. The base pay was sub par for someone with experience. And example would be I had 15 people place and my commission was under 200.00 for the month. Not competative at all for the market. Secondly there is not any one to discuss issues within the office. There is no real "HR" that can deal with the interpersonal issues.

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
