Hiring decisions matter. We bring experienced recruiters, established sourcing infrastructure, talent market intelligence, and a structured process to each engagement.
Our clients include organizations in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, engineering, professional services, and other industries where finding the right people can be especially challenging.
As a Vermont-headquartered recruiting company, we understand the realities of hiring in smaller labor markets while maintaining the resources to search well beyond state lines.

We begin with a conversation about your business, the position or assignment, the qualifications required, compensation, scheduling, work location, and hiring timeline.
We also discuss the challenges you've encountered and whether the search should focus on local candidates, a broader geographic area, or both.
For staffing assignments, we review duties, supervision, workplace requirements, and other information necessary to determine whether we can support the assignment.
We recommend an approach based on your hiring objectives and available options.
Your proposal explains the recommended service model, scope of work, commercial terms, and relevant responsibilities.
Whether the arrangement involves direct-hire search fees, fractional recruiting time, or a staffing bill rate, we explain the proposed structure before an engagement begins.
Once the engagement is approved, we execute the agreed recruitment strategy.
Depending on the service, this may include candidate sourcing, recruitment advertising, outreach, screening, structured evaluations, interview coordination, and offer support.
For eligible staffing arrangements, employment administration and assignment coordination continue as agreed after a worker begins.
Throughout the engagement, we maintain communication and work with your team to address hiring challenges as they arise.
Send us your resume or just tell us where you are and where you want to go. We work with candidates at every stage, whether your materials are polished or a work in progress.
We review your experience, target role, location preferences, and salary expectations. Then we map those requirements to active searches and companies actively hiring in your field right now.
We advocate for you through every stage of the process. Interview prep, offer negotiation, and follow through until you are in the seat. We do not close the file until you start.
Vermont is our home. We're headquartered in Danby, in Rutland County, employ a Vermont-based workforce, and work with employers throughout the state.
We understand that recruiting in Vermont often means working with smaller talent pools, specialized skill requirements, compensation pressures, commuting considerations, and candidates who may need compelling reasons to change employers or relocate.
We build recruiting strategies around those realities rather than assuming that posting a job will produce the right candidates.
A great employee isn't always looking for a new job.
Our recruiting process combines proactive sourcing, candidate research, targeted outreach, recruitment advertising, and professional networks to identify people whose experience may fit your requirements.
When a position calls for skills that are difficult to find locally, we can also expand the search regionally or nationally and explore relocation interest.
A temporary staffing need is different from a permanent leadership search. Likewise, a business with consistent hiring demand may benefit from a different arrangement than one filling a single vacancy.
We help employers compare available options and understand how recruiting fees, employment costs, service scope, and project risk differ across hiring models.
Our objective is to recommend a commercially appropriate solution, not force every search into the same agreement.
Our recruiters combine professional judgment with modern talent acquisition tools, AI-supported workflows, compensation intelligence, and structured candidate evaluations.
Technology helps us research labor markets, identify talent, manage outreach, and improve recruiting efficiency.
People remain responsible for candidate conversations, evaluation, relationship management, and recruiting recommendations.
When critical positions remain unfilled, Vermont businesses feel the impact. Hiring delays strain existing teams, disrupt operations, limit growth, and make it harder to meet customer demands. In a competitive labor market with a limited local talent pool, finding qualified employees often requires more than posting a job.
The Source and Recruit Company® is a Vermont-based staffing and recruiting agency helping employers overcome these challenges through proactive talent sourcing, industry expertise, and modern recruitment technology. Headquartered in Danby, Vermont, we combine local market knowledge with regional and nationwide recruiting resources to identify, engage, and evaluate qualified candidates—not just those actively searching for work.
From construction, manufacturing, and skilled trades to healthcare, engineering, finance, hospitality, and supply chain, we help Vermont employers fill permanent positions and address changing workforce demands. Whether you need direct-hire recruiting, temporary staffing, contract-to-hire, fractional recruiting, or executive search, our flexible service models are designed to align with your hiring priorities, workforce needs, and budget.

Got questions? Here are some quick answers to common concerns we hear from clients and candidates alike.
A recruiting agency generally helps an employer find and hire employees directly onto its payroll. A staffing agency may also employ workers and assign them to client organizations for temporary, contract, or contract-to-hire work.
The Source and Recruit Company offers direct-hire recruiting and staffing solutions, allowing employers to select the model that best fits their workforce needs.
Yes. We are headquartered in Danby Four Corners, Vermont, employ a Vermont-based workforce, and support employers throughout the state, including the Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier, Bennington, Brattleboro, and Northeast Kingdom regions.
We support numerous employers outside Vermont as well.
Yes. Direct-hire recruiting is a core part of our business. We help employers recruit for permanent positions through fractional recruiting, contingency search, retained search, and executive search arrangements.
The appropriate model depends on your hiring requirements, search complexity, and preferred commercial structure.
Our staffing offerings include temporary contract assignments and contract-to-hire arrangements, subject to assignment eligibility, required insurance, and agreed service terms.
For contract-to-hire engagements, an employer may evaluate an individual during an initial assignment before deciding whether to offer permanent employment.
The cost depends on the services requested, the position, and the engagement structure.
Direct-hire recruiting may involve a placement fee or time-based recruiting charges. Temporary staffing typically uses an hourly bill rate that includes the worker's compensation, applicable employment costs, and agreed recruiting and administrative charges.
We prepare proposals so businesses can review the applicable costs and terms before proceeding.
