Interviewed Jan 2012 in Birmingham, AL (took 4 weeks)
VACO is a great company. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone. It was an easy process and would highly recommend them to anyone. It was a very tough decision to not take the job with them but I had a better opportunity that I felt more comfortable accepting.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Brentwood, TN (took 5 days)
I received a call from the recruiter; but I missed her call. I called her within 5 mins of missed call; however, it took her 5 days to call me back. We set up an interview and she informed me that she would email me the interview information, which she did. I had previously sent my resume and cover letter, so she had that on file. In the email she requested another copy of my resume and cover letter, both to be attached to their online application. Additionally I was told to bring yet another copy of my resume and cover letter to the interview. It took over an hour to fill out the online application, even though 90% of the info was already listed on my resume. It was very very frustrating and time consuming. When I showed up for the interview, she kept me waiting 25 minutes, with no apology or explanation. She then, after going through my file, requested the identification sources, of which I handed her. She informed me that I was short one form of identification (not listed in the email) and that I could just "run" it back to her. Their office is 30 minutes away! She then took me to a room to perform two software skills tests. She set me up with software versions for MSWord and MSExcel, both of which were one version higher than I had used. She informed me that I could leave when I was finished. I am extremely proficient in both these programs, but not in the versions she set me up with. She walked out and I couldn't not find her. Nor was there anyone at the reception desk; apparently they abandoned the front desk at lunch time. I had no choice but to finish the tests at "turtle speed", and invariably failing several steps. It was VERY frustrating. Of course I never got a call back; it made me look as if I'd been dishonest about my skills. I even left a short note, but got no response.
Beware when you sit down to take any software tests; make sure you know exactly what versions of software you are familiar with and ensure that they set you up with THOSE versions. My recruiter obviously had zero concern about the compatibility; extremely unfair to waste my time like that.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Was told about job opportunity for a recent college grad. Applied for the job and had an interview with a very nice woman who made me feel comfortable. We went over my resume and experience and what the job demanded but at the end of the interview we both decided that the job probably was not for me.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I already have a job as a software engineer, but I am open to new opportunities. Vaco contacted me and I set up an interview with them. At the main office, the Vaco interviewer was over one and a half hours late. She barely apologized, and told me "lunch took a long time". I passed that interview, and interviewed at the main firm. A week after the final interview, I asked the recruiter whether I got the job and she ignored all of my e-mails, and it's not like I was spamming her. There was no decency to even tell me I didn't get the job; not even a one-line e-mail.
Don't use Vaco! They wasted a lot of my time and they don't care about you.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 days)
They were very well organized, friendly, and put me at ease. They asked questions about my background, a few of the items on my resume for clarification, and discussed my ideal position.
I met with three individuals including a recruiter, an account manager, and a senior recruiter.
I would highly recommend them to those in the job search.
