Fishers resident, Matt Raymond, has a passion for placing people in the right careers here in Indianapolis. Raymond opened Vaco Indianapolis, a senior-level consulting and executive placement firm in 2012. The Castleton located business is more than just a job placement organization according to Raymond.
“We do premier consulting and executive recruiting for office administrative, accounting, finance and technology. Those are really our bread and butter,” said Raymond.
Indianapolis based businesses come to VI with help finding the top talent for their organization. Many times those organization is spread too thin to locate the right person for a position.
“We provide solutions for companies. They actually pay us to land them the top talent. We interview, screen and then when our clients have needs we place them. Vaco means free yourself from work in Latin. It’s designed to be a place that people can go to work and retire and in turn we free companies from the work of staffing solutions,” he said.
Raymond was born and raised in Carmel, but his career path took him all over the United State. After 11 years he was ready to come back to Hamilton County for a variety of reasons.
“I missed having four seasons. My family is here. I’m a midwesterner. I was born and raised here and I will never leave,” he said.
That sense of community pride is what drives Raymond to focus his company on Indianapolis and the surrounding areas. All of the services offered to individuals are available at no cost.
“We do a lot of things in the community from a recruiting standpoint. We’re looking for people who are looking for better jobs. We provide individuals with help writing resumes and coaching them how to present themselves,” he said.
Raymond has had so much experience assisting businesses and clients that he was invited to sit on the board of directors for The National Board for Special Needs Integrity. VI also sponsors local organizations specific to their industry including Financial Executives Networking Group, Financial Executives International and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Professional Group.
