Powering talent growth through a major headquarters relocation
A fast-growing organization attempted to balance a major relocation alongside modernization, scaling, and expansion efforts. Vaco by Highspring provided staff augmentation and direct hire support across critical functions to position the client for future success.
The challenge
A rapidly growing organization underwent a major transformation after relocating its headquarters from the Pacific Northwest to the Southwest region. At the same time, new leadership was focused on modernizing operations, scaling internal infrastructure, and preparing the business for aggressive expansion plans.
The organization needed high-performing talent capable of thriving in a fast-paced, startup-like culture while supporting critical technology and operational initiatives. Internal talent acquisition teams struggled to fill several specialized roles, some of which had remained open for months. The company needed a strategic talent partner that understood the culture and pace of the business and could deliver quality talent quickly.
The solution
Vaco by Highspring partnered with the organization to provide staff augmentation and direct hire support across technology, accounting, and operational functions. Rather than taking a transactional recruiting approach, the team focused on building a long-term relationship rooted in consistency, trust, and cultural alignment.
By maintaining an ongoing on-site presence and building strong relationships with leadership and hiring teams, we deeply embedded in the client’s environment and hiring process. This hands-on partnership enabled the team to quickly identify needs, accelerate hiring efforts, and provide highly qualified professionals for both immediate openings and strategic growth initiatives.
The partnership expanded over time to support multiple lines of business and upcoming transformation efforts, including planning a white-glove executive support team tied to the company’s Microsoft 365 migration initiative.
