Vaco sees growth in staffing services, hires 6 in Ann Arbor

Vaco moved its Metro Detroit office from Novi to Ann Arbor nearly two years ago. It's a move the staffing company's leaders see as not only paying bigger dividends but presenting bigger options for growth. "It's a better opportunity," says Jerrett Eiler, partner at Vaco. "We thought we could recruit some more of the talent out of the University of Michigan. We want to keep that talent local." Vaco is a national corporation that specializes in providing staffing services for technical and executive professionals. It has 28 offices across the U.S. and continues to add satellite offices. It opened its Metro Detroit office in 2007 and moved it to Ann Arbor in 2011. It has hired four people in sales and recruiting over the last year in Ann Arbor. Its Tree Town staff now numbers 10 people and the company's local leaders expect that number to continue to grow.  "Our demand for technology-related positions and high-end folks has more than doubled in the last two years," says Paul Bishop, managing partner of Vaco.
