Pros

decent hiring process - 3 interviews, quick, nice recruiters. good for entry level/gaining early career experience. loved working with big tech client (google). hours were good, remote work (but they kept going back and forth on WFH policy, seemed unnecessary for in person work).

Cons

disliked vaco specific management, untransparent policies. laid off whole team to hire out of country, poor communication and unprofessionalism. not the best benefits / no 401k match

Pros

Jeff Kim was persistent and genuine. Kept me in mind across multiple searches until the right role landed. No pressure, no ghosting, just consistent follow-through.

Cons

Staffing agencies inherently have limited control over placement timelines. Sometimes the wait between contacts is longer than you'd like.

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
