Pros

The placement was great - was placed at Google and met a lot of people. I was able to network and also use Google on my resume, which was a huge plus.

Cons

Vaco paid minimum wage at the time and also did not pay overtime when I went over 8 hours of the day. I also did overnights and was not compensated fairly. This prompted a lawsuit to occur and the employee who sued Vaco won. I hope they changed their ways by now.

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
