Staffing that treats a hire like a relationship, not a transaction
We started Vivid HR & Staffing because too many placements were being measured by speed alone. We measure ours by whether people are still there a year later.
Founded on a simple frustration
Vivid was founded by recruiters who'd spent years inside staffing firms optimized for volume — resumes out the door, positions filled, boxes checked. What got lost was the actual fit: whether the person wanted the job, and whether the job wanted the person back in six months.
So we built a firm around direct hire only. No temp rosters to fill, no conversion-fee incentives pulling against a clean placement. Just one goal: match the right person to the right role, permanently, the first time.
Vivid opens its doors
Founded by recruiters focused exclusively on direct-hire placements, starting with office and administrative roles.
Industry pods launch
Dedicated recruiting teams stood up for skilled trades, healthcare support, and finance & accounting.
1,000th direct hire placed
Crossed four figures in permanent placements with a retention rate holding above 90% at twelve months.
Sixteen industries, one process
Vivid now staffs across sixteen industries while keeping the same principle: match first, fill second.
The values behind every placement
Match before margin
We'd rather send one strong candidate than five mediocre ones. A placement that doesn't last helps no one, including us.
Direct means direct
We only do permanent placement. That keeps our incentives aligned with long-term fit, not short-term fill rates.
Transparency both ways
Employers get honest feedback on their process and pay range. Candidates get honest feedback on their fit and readiness.
Depth over volume
Our recruiters specialize by industry, so conversations go deeper than a keyword match on a resume.
