Got a phone call from Paul few days ago. And telling me that has a job for me, however the job is taken by someone. Then he offered me one business in Corona which is United Material Handling, however He told me honestly about the company that the previous senior acc. got kicked for poor performance. After I review the client, the business has poor management system and turn over people, So it's bad if you have family and have mortgage working with the company client has many turn over people. read more

My experience was beneficial partnership with myself, vaco staffing and prioritizing Trinity/ faith for best result hoped for. I had to proactively do work by 1. checking vaco website or talking with vaco contact if any good fit then 2. partner with Vaco in 1:1 discussion on position as it's their client 3. Ace interview & have best 3 professional references on the ready 4. Proactively followup with Vaco on critical stages(1&2) Vaco partnered by 1. In timely fashion , not to lose opportunity, they presented me in narration format on paper in packaged way as best fit for the open role plus resume for client consideration. 2. Handled set up & panel preparation of Interview stages & communication/feedback from Client Uncontrollable Unknowns: Client may not agree on initial interviewing or even picking you as one to hire after final interviews.(It's normal risk not new.) Don't give up -keep looking, be ready,keep praying and look for " dependable" staffing partner willing to stay in race with you, it's your call based on your discernment and direct experience during interaction with them. . read more

My first impression was awesome but then they ghosted me. I thought they were better than that. I even emailed them and I still have not received a response. They confirmed the same thing I have dealt with all of the other placement agencies, they act like they care about you but they really don't. Don't waste your time! read more

Absolutely amazing! :) I submitted my resume online through Vaco's website and was contacted by Kelli M. for a phone interview a few days later. With her assistance, I landed an interview with a company I have been eager to gain experience with the same day we had our phone interview. I was blown away at how quickly that occurred. Fortunately, I was offered a position at that company in April and I am still currently employed there. Kelli guided me throughout my entire on-boarding process to make the transition as smooth as possible. Many weeks have passed and she still checks on how I am doing at my workplace. Whenever I have any questions or concerns, she never fails to respond in a timely manner. I cannot stress how much of a positive difference she has made in my professional career. If you are looking for someone who will listen to what your professional goals are and who will be an asset to finding new opportunities for you, Kelli is your girl! read more

Went in for an interview this afternoon with Ryan Compton. He was so warm, friendly, and personable! He gave me a few good interviewing and resume-writing tips. He connected me with great job prospects. Plus he provided prompt & helpful follow-up soon after our meeting. The lady receptionist (I wish I remembered her name) was super friendly & hospitable! She just exuded friendliness and enthusiasm! She even offered me a glass of water to enjoy during my brief wait. Not to mention their office is situated in a modern, clean environment. [I'm still in the job searching process and intend to update this review as soon as I get hired!] read more

I had the pleasure of working with Kelli and the Vaco team. She helped get me out on interviews the same week after meeting me, and I was working the following week. Kelli is a terrific professional, excellent communicator, and a great coach. She knows the local industries well, and can help you get your resume on the right desk. I strongly recommend you reach out to Vaco if you're trying to find work in the OC. read more

Kelli Maresch was so amazing!! She listened to what I had to say regarding what I was interested in. She even pushed me for more and opened my eyes to career paths I didn't even realize I had experience for. She worked so hard and always made me feel like I was important and that I mattered. She was in my corner the entire journey and not only was she a great cheerleader but an advocate for me. Thanks Kelli- you rock!! read more

I was referred to this agency to help locate employment. The initial conversations were great and supportive. I reached out to Kelli multiple times with zero contact back from her, or anyone else at this firm. Very unprofessional, there are plenty of reputable firms out there. I landed a great job making great $ with amazing benefits through a competitor that was hands on, smart and professional! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Kimberly Campos, she was very kind and extremely helpful in helping me find a job. Within weeks she found me so many opportunities! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to see her if you need a job!!! She is very thorough and very personable. She will find the right job for you and wont pressure you into taking just anything (since she wont just give you "just anything"!). The companies that I got to see if it would be a right fit for me all were a good fit! After she gets you the interview she goes through questions they may ask, and concerns you might have. She'll look through your resume and help reword it to make it look so much better. The best part is that if you ever need her help just call! She will always give you a call back if she couldn't get to you! Need a job??? ASK FOR KIMBERLY CAMPOS! read more

Been a while since I've written a review, but my experience has been so great that I feel like VACO and their staff certainly deserve another 5 star review on their Yelp page. Recently, I was in search of a new job and threw my resume on Dice. A few days later, I received a call from Joel and everything was smooth sailing since then. They were able to place me in a new office, and I couldn't be more happy (so far). The communication with the team was awesome. From Joel, to Sabrina and Lindsey, I never felt a disconnect nor felt like the organization was shady in representing me. Great solid experience, thanks y'all! read more

I was skeptical to try out a staffing agency at first but I am so glad I gave it a shot. I work with Kelli and she is such a joy. I always feel confident that she will find me an assignment that works best for me. She is patient, honest, kind and professional. I have had wonderful experiences on temporary assignments and I was even offered a permanent position before. Lots of great things bloom from this industry. I will always recommend Vaco to family and friends. Take a leap and give it a shot, and ask for Kelli :-) read more

My recruiter Brigette was an awesome person to work with. I had just moved from out of state and she found me a job the same week I met her! After a while of working there I decided it wasn't for me and she was on it again. I found something on my own but Brigette always kept in touch to see how it was going and if I was happy. The second company also wasn't a great fit so Brigette to the rescue! She got me yet another great job and was always keeping my needs in mind! Vaco Orange County as a whole is a great group of professionals that really care about their clients and candidates and they will make sure you are super happy with your career or employees they find for you! read more

I have worked as a consultant for Vaco for the last 11 months and I could not say enough positive things about my experience. I have had my share of meetings with other recruiting agencies and Vaco definitely stands out. They treat their consultants as valuable assets and not just as means to getting a contract. They offer great benefits including bonuses for service as well as referrals and a 401K option. Everyone is so friendly and professional, they make you feel very comfortable. I am so thankful that I was able to find an assignment through them and hope I am able to connect with them in the future! read more

Ryan found my resume online, reached out to me and fit me in for a quick interview right the next day. He was super encouraging and helpful when it came to resume and interview tips. I was able to score an interview with a company for a Marketing position within the week after and got hired on the same day. I am still so surprised of how fast and smoothly everything went. Ryan also followed up with me after my first day! If you're actively looking for jobs and are finding it a bit challenging, Ryan is your guy! read more

Kelli Maresch has been such an amazing professional to work with. She has exceeded beyond any agency and professional I have worked with. Her knowledge of diverse industries, relationships and eager enthusiasm landed me an amazing opportunity with the highest paying position I've ever obtained. I highly recommend Vaco to anyone looking to enhance their professional life. My experience with Vaco has been nothing short of amazing. -Keith Jenson read more

I work with Frankie at VACO in Irvine and he was able to place me at the employer I have been eyeing for awhile. Frankie is responsive and supportive of my career decisions. The team at VACO Irvine are professional, friendly and they really know how to match their clients with the right companies. I appreciated how fast they move as a TEAM to get you into a position that fits my skills. Thank you Frankie, keep up the Great work!!! read more

Today I had a meeting with Kimberly Campos. I was absolutely blown away. She made me feel comfortable and confident in being able to find a job. She even already had a job lined up that she is going to see if I would be a good fit for. She is professional, sweet, very approachable, and she made me excited to be looking for a job. She also told me not to sell myself short and offered some critiques on my resume to catch the eye of possible employers. Will update when I find the perfect job. read more

This is my first experience going through an agency and it has been the best experience. At first I didn't know what to expect but when I met with my recruiter Kimberly Campos, I knew that she was going to help me find the perfect job and she did! She's not only just my recruiter but I find her to be an inspiring mentor who not only wants to help but sees the best in me. There was a day where I didn't feel confident and was extremely nervous about my interview. Kimberly got me out of that funk and was very supportive! She guided me through my interview process and I couldn't be more grateful for her! Thank you Kimberly for everything that you do and for helping me get a job that I'm excited to go to every morning! :) I also want to thank McKenzie, their Front Desk Receptionist, who is always so attentive and very welcoming when I need to speak to Kimberly. read more

The staff at VACO are extremely knowledgable as well as personable. It's more than just placing prospective employees or temporary support staff. VACO Staffing goes above and beyond to meet the needs of it's clients. They set a higher standard in the staffing industry, which provides the employer and employee complete symmetry. They are very thorough in their screening process and offer great insight on your interviews in order to build confidence and composure. I personally have had great success with VACO. They were diligent in their search, and as a result, I have since been placed with my current employer. VACO has met all of my needs according to my long-term career goals: to embrace a strong and loyal company culture, with opportunities for growth, and a company which allows me to demonstrate my specific skills and knowledge. Extremely satisfied with the process from start to finish. read more

Worst recruiting company ever. Dylan did nothing but waste my time and get my hopes up. He found me a position which I quit my job for, then called me a week into the job on Sunday night telling me it "wasn't gonna work out" Real classy read more

Was not impressed! I met with Kelli and was told all this great feedback about how there was two positions I would be a great match for. Well she never called back and when I followed up with an email she never answered that as well. Unprofessional! I say stick with the larger name temp agencies read more

Like another reviewer said, I had Dylan and he did nothing for me. He was brief during our first meeting and when I asked how follow up would be conducted he said he'd call me within a week. I asked if I could call if I had not heard from him and he said it was fine as he handed me his business card. Needless to say, I never heard back from him, he never returned my calls, nothing. I was hoping for something from this meeting, but it left me very unimpressed. read more

Amazing team! Job hunting can be stressful, and before I was introduced to Vaco, I never considered using recruiting agencies. Vaco totally changed the game for me! I worked with Joel, Ryan, and Kelli--all of them very friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. It's been a while since my last interview, and I wasn't feeling the most confident during the whole process. However, Joel, Ryan, and Kelli gave me incredible support, answered all my questions and concerns, talked me through each step, and helped me get over all my fears! It's amazing what can happen when you know you have people who are on your team and want you to do well. It can change the whole game of job hunting for you, and I definitely recommend the team at Vaco! read more

Ryan was great in helping me find a temp job. Thanks for all of your help, Vaco!

I connected with Vaco during my search for a career change. I am usually very skeptical about working with staffing agencies, but after speaking with Kelli on the phone I decided to meet with her to discuss the opportunities available through their resources. My meeting with Kelli went better than I could have anticipated. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about her clients and their needs, but she also has a keen ability to identify and match candidates with compatible employers. She secured me with numerous interviews and I received a job offer in less time than expected, with a higher paying salary, close to home...and couldn't be more excited! Kelli's professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to her clients is remarkable. I would highly recommend Kelli and the team at Vaco to anyone looking to secure the right job. Trust me - she knows where to find them! read more

Kimberly Campos was my recruiter, and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. She was extremely thorough and helpful in the interview process, and she really makes an effort to truly prepare you for an interview with a potential employer. I was offered a temporary opportunity in the interim of looking for a permanent position. My temp role turned out to be exactly what I was looking for (and with an awesome company with GREAT pay & benefits, I might add). Within a month, I was converted over to a permanent employee. Now, with the help of Kimberly and the rest of Vaco, I can honestly say I love my job! read more

I interviewed with Kimberly Campos about a year ago, and can't say anything but great things about her and VACO. I was working a week and a half later after the first interview with a great company, which I happens to be my current job. I was hired on a permanent basis within 2 months. I can't thank Kim and VACO enough for all their help! read more

I had the pleasure of working with the incredible Sabrina at Vaco. She worked hard to find me a great position, and was extremely encouraging along the way. Also, in the couple weeks before finding me a temp-to-hire position, she set me up with several temp positions to get me some extra cash. She was very responsive the entire time I worked with her, and thanks to Sabrina, I now have a full time position at a wonderful company and am starting a career. Furthermore, she has continued to stay in contact with me and is as appreciative of me as I am of her. I recommend Vaco highly, especially Sabrina and her partner Bridget! read more

This is the only agency who actively sought me out - And the only agency to keep me employed consistently over the last year. They are a very professional, courteous staff. I was asked to meet in person, and they had me out on a short assignment the next day while they hunted for something more long-term. Kimberly, my recruiter, kept in touch through every step and helped coach me through interviews - The part I struggle with most! I have gained more valuable work experience in this last year than I could ever have imagined possible. After several contracts, I am finally being hired to a full-time permanent position and I have Vaco to thank! read more

Dylan called me and it was interesting position. so I called him back but he did not call me back for 4days. after that He asked me to come to his office for wasting my time. We met and talked about my skill and so on They do not even validate parking that i have to pay for nothing. never follow up and he promised that he will e-mail me more detail for the company I am interested. I hate all staffing company but this is just wasting my time and wasting my money! read more

I have worked with Vaco for over 4 years. Kelli Maresch kept me employed until she got me hired permanently at the great company I work for now after getting laid off. I can never thank her or the team enough. Finding a new job isn't always easy but Kelli kept me in the game until I found a new home and I could not be happier. I love working and Kelli can place quality people with great companies. read more

Received a phone call from Dylan, left my current job early to meet with him at his office, he spent most of the meeting critiquing my resume and never really discussed any possible positions. He promised to send me a new template for my resume, never received. I revised my resume, emailed him a copy and left a voicemail, he has never responded to either. That interview was a waste of my time, gas and I had to pay for parking! Too many other really competent agencies in Orange County to waste time with this one. read more

I was recently placed by Kimberly from Vaco at Autobytel in Irvine. Kimberly was great! I submitted my resume for the position early in July, Kimberly met with me went over the position in detail to make sure it was a great fit. I interviewed with Autobytel, and was disappointed when I didn't get the position, but Kimberly still made me feel great, and let me down easy. Then I heard from Kimberly again in September about the same position. She really believed I was a perfect candidate for the position, and it made me feel great. I landed the position after another interview, and I love it. There is a great company culture, and management is amazing at encouraging and training each employee. The team is welcoming, and everyone truly enjoys their work. Since, I've been employed Kimberly and Lauren have been there to answer all my questions, and help me make a smooth transition. Thank you ladies! read more

I have been working with Kimberly and she has been the most helpful recruiter I have EVER worked with. Whether I get the position or not, Kimberly deserves recognition for all the hard work she put in to help me. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. She is definitely passionate about what she does and does it well. I felt like she sincerely cared about me. Keep up the great work Kimberly! read more

I was only placed for no more than a month at a company who had some of the most rude employees. They give you hope, and suddenly you're left with nothing. During my stay with the company I was placed at, I was told they liked my work and would keep me an extra couple weeks, then one Monday I come in and they tell me I can leave early for no apparent reason. I then call VACO explaining the situation and they were already aware, but had not told me that my placement was ending early. It was the most unprofessional way of ending a temp position. I had no backup, and was depressed about the whole thing. There was no notice from them for me to continue my job search and it left me with nothing. I have delt with many other companies, and have never encountered anything quite like this. They're all fake and don't care about anything but using you to get money. I didn't hear back from them until months later and chose to not respond. Overall there's a horrible lack of communication, and nothing good came out of this experience. read more

I have never experienced working with a staffing agency when transitioning careers. Of course there are always negative reviews in regards to staffing agencies but I've always been one in keeping my options open. And I am sure glad I did. My experience with VACO was beyond my expectations. I was lucky to have received the opportunity in working with Kelli Maresch. Words cannot describe how grateful I am, that she guided me through the treacherous process of job searching. She was welcoming, positive and encouraging from the first day we met. She has a sixth sense, in a way of seeing one's true potential and believing in you and always going above and beyond. During my recent job opportunity, the hiring process seemed to hit every bump in the road possible. Kelli was there communicating with me every step of the way. Her expertise was mind blowing and made it seem so effortless. I honestly and truly believe, if it was not for Kelli, I would not have achieved such an amazing opportunity that has set the path for my career. Thank you a million times over Kelli!! read more

I have had a wonderful experience working with Kimberly and Kelli at Vaco. They have both gone above and beyond in helping me land a great position. From getting me completely prepared for my interview to their follow-up, they are completely dedicated to their candidates. They have worked evenings and weekends in securing interview dates and are well thought of by their clients. 5 stars all the way! read more

First and foremost Kimberly Campos was amazing to work with from the very beginning. She is extremely helpful, insightful, knowledgeable and approachable. Finding a job is not the easiest, buy Kimberly took the time to know me, my goals and took into account my skills. I am thankful for her and for setting up a successful interview :) which turned into my current job. It was a perfect match! THANK YOU KIMBERLY :) read more

VACO is by far the best staffing agency I have worked for! Kelli Maresch was my recruiter during my duration of working for VACO and she was nothing short of amazing; she is professional, helpful, attentive, friendly, and dependable. I was blown away that she already had interviews lined up for me within a week of initially meeting with her to go over my qualifications. When one assignment ended she was always right on top of it placing me into a new assignment. What stood out to me the most was that she really took the time to get to know me and place me in assignments she felt would best suit my interests and personality. I can't thank her or the entire VACO staff enough! Although I no longer work for VACO, as I unfortunately moved out of the county, I would highly recommend them to anyone who lives in/near the Orange County area. read more
