Vaco adds jobs in Ann Arbor as it diversifies client base

Staffing firm Vaco has made three hires in Ann Arbor, expanding its internal staff in Tree Town to eight people.

The firm is also looking to add a couple of more internal resources (staffers) this year. "We're looking for additional recruiters that have a strong human resources and recruiting background," says Paul Bishop, managing partner with Vaco.

The national company provides staffing services for technical and executive professionals. It has a couple dozen offices across the U.S., including a Metro Detroit office that Vaco moved to Ann Arbor in 2011. Vaco established itself with its staffing services in the tech industry but has expanded into the likes of accounting and finance industries recently.

"As we have grown our business we have found it important to us to find more industries we can support," Bishop says.

Bishop adds the increase in industry diversity has created more work opportunities for the staffing candidates it offers to business. He notices that Vaco's clients utilize the diversity of the services more.

"It's creating value for our clients with human capital," Bishop says.
