The right people can
change your business.

Brennan’s experience goes beyond filling roles. He has helped lead businesses, build divisions, and expand workforces—where hiring decisions affect safety, delivery, overhead, and customer relationships.

That perspective shapes every VTG search. We want to understand what this person needs to accomplish, who they will work alongside, and what your business can realistically support.

Understand the stakes

Define what success requires.

Before starting a search, we learn where your team needs support, what is holding the business back, and what a successful hire needs to accomplish.

Make the case

Give good people a reason to move.

Compensation matters. So do purpose, responsibility, leadership, and the chance to make an impact. We help you tell that story to relevant candidates.

Build for what’s next

Grow at a pace you can sustain.

Hiring plans should reflect your capacity and cash flow. We help you prioritize the people and processes your next stage actually requires.

A smarter way to pay for recruiting

Build your team.
Preserve your cash.

Growing a team while managing cash flow is familiar territory. VTG offers the option to spread your agreed placement fee over 60, 90, or 120 days, giving you room to invest in the person joining your business.

Discuss your payment options ↗
60days
90days
120days

One agreed fee.
More breathing room.

If your hire leaves,
future installments stop.

If the employee quits or is terminated before the payment schedule ends, future installments stop. You remain responsible for amounts already billed.

Your prior payments
count toward a replacement.

If you hire a replacement through VTG under the agreed replacement terms, payments already made are credited toward the agreed placement fee.

Experience behind the approach

Experience that goes
beyond the placement.

Two examples from Brennan’s prior career show how recruiting and operating decisions can work together. These engagements predate Vermilion Talent Group.

CAREER EXPERIENCE / WORKFORCE QUALITY

Better leaders.
Stronger crews.

At an offshore construction business, rapid growth had put pressure on safety and execution. Brennan helped recruit experienced supervisors and operations leaders, using the company’s story and the opportunity for individual impact to attract talent from larger employers.

The business impactRecruiting can help change how a business operates—not simply how many people it employs.
CAREER EXPERIENCE / LEAN EXPANSION

Expand the business.
Keep overhead in view.

At a staffing business, Brennan helped bring recruiting under a corporate structure. That approach supported new branches launching with smaller local teams, rather than duplicating the full recruiting operation in every market.

The business impactThe right hiring process can support growth alongside the right hires.
The person behind the partnership
“Keeping our talent here, keeping our talent close.”
