Vaco Los Angeles Names Darrel Letcher To Vaco Technology

LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vaco Los Angeles LLC, a leading consulting firm specializing in information technology, today announced the appointment of Darrel Letcher to the position of senior account executive. Darrel joins Vaco Technology with over twenty years experience in distribution, channel, and product management for technology firms. In his new position, he is responsible for managing client service in placing Vaco's leading technology consultants and full-time candidates.

According to Devon Zopfi, partner, Vaco Technology, "I was eager to have Darrel as part of our Vaco team and actively recruited him. He's got a good combination of excellent people skills, an understanding of technology and its significance to our clients, and a dedicated work ethic. We're fortunate to have him and I'm sure our clients agree."

Vaco has been named LA's Best Place to Work a record three times in a row by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Darrel says this unique culture had a big influence on his decision to join Vaco. "A lot of companies talk about work/life balance, but Vaco lives it. Everyone works hard. I've never seen a more dedicated group of people. But at the same time, the company is flexible and allows us the time and elbow-room we need to be with our families and have a personal life. It's funny how getting to be home for dinner makes people work even harder."

Darrel describes himself as a self-styled geek and he brings those skills to bear on the placement of "the ideal consultant" and personnel. "People may have tech capabilities, but finding the right match for a company's culture as well as their system requirements is like trying on a pair of shoes."

To both candidates and employers, Darrel stresses how vital it is to stay up to date. "Too many people go to school, learn their technology, and don't update it. Technology changes so fast that as soon as the company moves on to a new system, the employee is out of a job." He also suggests that employers consider consultants as an integral and ongoing part of their technology strategy. "Technology consultants stay current. Companies can solve problems, make transitions to new platforms, and help train their full-time workers by choosing good consultants."
