“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 fell to me—a numbers person—which quickly proved time-consuming and unenjoyable. Our team wasn’t getting the support they deserved. When I met Molly, VIVO’s services seemed too good to be true, but 3+ years later, they’ve exceeded expectations! Katie and Molly are prompt, professional, and invaluable to our team—I can’t imagine working without them!”

— Molly Engle, EVP, The Zimmerman Companies
