Pros

Great coworkers Fun biannual meetings in Vegas They usually do what’s right for the candidate and client

Cons

Terrible PTO/Holiday plan Begged for a 401K match for years and then they implemented one and it’s conditional on company performance The flexibility they preach is not given across the board to every employee Management doesn’t manage (especially when associates really screw up and do things that would warrant getting fired at any other office) Hire solely for culture fit and not talent Executive team is mostly/all white men, no emphasis on D&I .

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
