A recruiting partner that fills the role once
You don't need more resumes. You need the right one. Vivid pairs a dedicated recruiter with a screened, industry-specific slate — so the role gets filled with someone who actually stays.
Full-service direct-hire recruiting
Every engagement includes the same core process, tuned to your industry and role level.
Role scoping
A working session with your hiring manager to define must-haves, deal-breakers, and what success looks like in 90 days.
Candidate screening
Resume review, live interview, skills verification, and reference checks — before a name reaches your desk.
Curated slate
A short list of candidates who are qualified and genuinely interested — typically within 4–7 business days.
Interview coordination
We schedule, prep candidates on your process, and collect structured feedback after every round.
Offer support
Market-rate guidance and offer negotiation help, so the close doesn't fall apart in the final stretch.
30/60/90 check-ins
We follow up after placement to catch friction early — retention doesn't end at the signed offer.
One placement fee. No surprises later.
Vivid works on a contingency or engaged-search basis depending on the role — you only pay once someone is hired. There's no separate conversion fee, no temp markup, and no bill-rate math. A replacement guarantee is included on every placement.

Questions employers ask us most
Vivid is direct-hire only. We find this keeps incentives aligned — our recruiters are focused on long-term fit, not extending a temporary assignment.
We staff across sixteen industries, from entry-level and skilled-trade roles through mid-management. Executive and leadership searches run through our engaged-search track.
Most roles see a first slate within 4–7 business days of the scoping call, depending on role complexity and market conditions.
Every placement includes a replacement guarantee window. If it's not the right fit within that period, we re-run the search at no additional placement fee.
