About VOLO
Who We Are
At VOLO, we know how to recruit extraordinary leaders worldwide (128 cities across 62 countries within 30 industries). We specialize in recruiting extraordinary women and diverse talent for the board and senior-level leadership roles. Yes, we also recruit exceptional men. We are trusted by organizations worldwide to effectively increase the number of women in all races, cultures, and backgrounds in leadership positions.
Founded in 1997, boards and leaders consistently turn to VOLO because we have a disruptive, innovative database with extraordinary, diverse people not on social media and not reachable through traditional talent acquisition methods.
Supplier Diversity. The company is certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Minority-Owned Business.
Our Approach
We believe high performing organizations want to hire extraordinary talent because the top 5 percent accounts for 25 percent of organizational output. Fortunately, at VOLO, we are highly networked with exceptional women and men of all races, cultures, and backgrounds across several industries and countries around the world.
Our point-of-difference is our disruptive, innovative database with 40M+ extraordinary, diverse people not on social media and not reachable through traditional talent acquisition methods. Our secret sauce is that we (A) know who they are, (B) have known them for years, and (C) can reach them quickly. We have lots of data on top 9-box grid employees.
Similar to how happily married people are not on dating websites, happy and engaged employees with excellent performance ratings are not on-line either because they are getting stuff done. 73% and 78% of U.S. adults do not use LinkedIn and Twitter, respectively; 49% of U.S. adults with a College+ degree do not use LinkedIn (source: Pew Research Center).
Senior-level executive recruiting requires us to maintain secrecy, especially when an organization is looking to replace an existing member of its executive team, acquire a new entity, and engaged on top security clearance programs. As a result, our client list and recruiting projects are confidential.
Handshake-Operated and Veteran-Owned
At VOLO, we do business the old-fashioned way ... we earn it. Organizations worldwide are pleasantly surprised by our "handshake" and affordable agreements. Whether you are a bootstrapped pre-IPO or global organization, we will make it work.
As a service-disabled veteran-owned and minority-owned business, we want to thank you for considering us as your executive search partner.
A few reasons why our clients said they hired/continue to hire us:
"Our board and senior-leadership team continues to recommend your company."
"For over 10 years, your firm provided a large pool of extraordinary, senior-level women and historically underrepresented candidates even in engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain at our headquarters, six business units, and several plants worldwide."
"As we grew our company from $8 to $13 billion in revenue, your company continued to find high-caliber talent for our Emerging Markets, South Pacific, and European business units."
"Extreme discretion was paramount for multiple senior-level searches due to M&A activity and confidentially replacing executives. You all delivered from coast to coast."
"We evaluated our internal talent first and moved through the referral list with no success. Our ERG and supplier diversity teams recommended your company."
"The HR Directors at our other business units have hired and recommends your company."
"We were tired of seeing the same crap resumes. Our theory was the high-potentials that we wanted weren't on social media or job boards. The candidates y'all provide are top 9-box employees at their current companies. Amazing!"
