What we do

Four ways to get headcount on the floor.

Whether you need bodies for a Monday-morning shift or a permanent plant manager, VEA can put the right person in the right seat. Mix and match — most clients use two or more.

Temporary

Cover surges, seasonal peaks, and gaps in days, not weeks. Workers stay on our payroll, our workers' comp, and our schedule.

  • Same-week coverage on most roles
  • Free 48-hour replacement if it isn't a fit
  • Workers' comp & liability included

Temp-to-Hire

Try before you hire. We place the worker on a 90- to 520-hour trial period. If it works, you convert. If it doesn't, we replace.

  • 60% conversion rate in 2025
  • No conversion fees on most roles
  • Reduce hiring risk and turnover cost

Direct Hire

Permanent placement for hard-to-find roles. We source passive candidates who never see a job board.

  • Engineers, supervisors, technicians, accountants
  • Replacement guarantee if the candidate leaves in 90 days
  • Flat or contingency fee structures

Payroll & HR Outsourcing

Move headcount onto our books. We handle payroll, taxes, workers' comp, and compliance — your supervisors stay in charge.

  • Run payroll for your existing team
  • Reduce HR overhead and audit risk
  • Stay compliant with VT and federal wage law

Industries we serve

Eight Vermont specialties.

We’ve placed workers across every corner of Vermont’s economy. We know which clients run shifts at 6am, which need forklift tickets, and which expect ServSafe before day one.

How it works

From phone call to first shift in four steps.

  1. 01

    20-minute intake call

    We learn the role, the shift, the must-haves, and the must-not-haves. We give you a realistic pay range and a delivery timeline on the call.

  2. 02

    Pre-screened candidates in 48 hours

    Our recruiters tap our active worker pool plus a regional network you'd take months to build. You only see candidates we'd hire ourselves.

  3. 03

    Interview, decide, start

    Pick from a short list. We coordinate scheduling, references, drug screens, and onboarding paperwork — plus transport if needed.

  4. 04

    We stay in the loop

    Weekly check-ins for the first 90 days. If anything's off, we replace at no extra cost. Most placements convert to permanent.
