The firm ranked in all three major categories: Executive Search, Professional Search and Temporary Staffing
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (MAY 3, 2023) – Vaco, a global talent solutions firm providing consulting, contract and direct-hire services with more than 50 offices around the globe, was named by Forbes as one of America’s Best Recruiting and Temporary Staffing Firms of 2023. The ranking comes as a result of an annual independent study.
Vaco ranked No. 24 in the professional search firms category, No. 44 in the temporary staffing firms category and No. 97 in the executive search firms category.
“We have an incredibly talented team of professionals across Vaco who continue to place meaningful priority in each and every one of the relationships we have with our clients and our candidates. Regardless of economic conditions or job market trends, relationships will always singularly be the most important part of what we do. Being named once again to this prestigious list of recruiting and staffing firms by Forbes is an honor and a direct testament to that commitment to relationships as well as the team’s exceptional leadership, persistence and focus,” said Vaco President, Kevin Witt.
To derive the list, Forbes, in partnership with market research company Statista, surveyed 5,200 external recruiters, HR or hiring managers and participants who have worked with at least one of the firms, and gave them the chance to recommend and assess recruiting and staffing companies. The survey period ran from November 2022 through late February 2023, and the firms that received the highest scores made it onto one or more of the final three lists:
- The executive recruiting list includes the top 150 companies that specialize in filling positions with salaries of at least $100,000;
- The professional recruiting list consists of the top 200 companies that specialize in filling positions with salaries of less than $100,000; and
- The temp staffing list includes the top 150 companies that focus on matching job candidates with employers for temporary and contract positions.
