“Adding VIVO’s services to the mix has been critical for [our leaders] and we couldn’t be more happy with our engagement. I’m not sure how we would have handled all of the recent hiring and other situations/efforts without having them.”

— Josh Gratsch, Chief Operating Officer, Ascend Innovations
“Hiring VIVO has been life changing! As a small company, HR duties tend to fall to the person willing to take them on, which for our organization was me… a numbers person. It quickly became evident that not only was it taking more time than anticipated, but it was work I didn’t enjoy, and our team was not getting the service they needed – or deserved. When I initially met with Molly, the services she told me they would offer sounded too good to be true, and 3+ years later, they’ve exceeded all expectations! Katie and Molly respond promptly and professionally to all inquiries, and have become highly-valued members of our team. I don’t know what we’d do without them!”

— Molly Engle, EVP, The Zimmerman Companies
