Before meeting RVP, I had more frustrations than success with contingency fee recruiters. Since connecting a few years back, though, she'd completely dug into our operations, culture, and needs and busts her ass to send us quality candidates. Full-throated recommendation.

I met Rachel in my search for a new job and Rachel was the most personable, helpful, kind, and attentive recruiter I’ve ever worked with. She was involved in every step, ready with advice, encouragement, and a positive attitude! I was especially grateful that she was willing to hop on calls and help me prep before my interviews. Rachel is the best!

Rachel facilitated helping us find 2 new high-quality AE hires in less than 30 days. We had high standards (experience, GEO, EQ) but she quickly found multiple candidates that fit our profile. She was incredibly responsive to both us and the candidates and represented our company so well. I have worked with multiple recruiting firms in the past, and Rachel and her team are hands down the best!

Rachel and her team are true partners to our business - trustworthy, driven, and deeply aligned with how we build high-performing teams." As a Head of People, I value partners who go beyond filling roles to truly understand our culture, raise the bar with every hire, and operate with a high level of integrity and Rachel consistently delivers. VPTalent team brings forward exceptional, high-quality candidates and makes the hiring process feel seamless and efficient. On top of that, they are simply a joy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rachel is one of the most thoughtful and high-caliber recruiters I’ve worked with. Her communication is exceptional, and she maintains an incredibly high standard for candidate quality. She consistently looks beyond surface-level qualifications to ensure true alignment, only presenting candidates she genuinely believes are a strong fit, which truly sets her apart from other recruiters I worked with. She is my go-to girl when I need roles filled.

Rachel VanderPol is an exceptional recruiting partner who consistently demonstrates a high level of attention to detail, from the smallest nuances to the most critical aspects of hiring initiatives. She has a natural ability to build authentic relationships with both clients and candidates, establishing trust quickly.
Rachel approaches her work as a true partner - never transactional - and is deeply invested in delivering thoughtful, high-quality outcomes. She consistently operates at a level above most talent professionals, while maintaining the highest standards of reliability, professionalism, and integrity.

I have never liked recruiters. Rachel changed that.
Over the past two-plus years, Rachel has helped us hire attorneys, paralegals, a controller, executive assistants, and legal assistants. She has also assisted some of our clients in filling specific roles in their companies outside of the legal world. Her skills are not just in the breadth of roles she has assisted on — it is the way she took the time to understand our culture, what we do, and the personality characteristics that make someone a good fit for a role holistically. She asks the right questions and is wildly communicative.
Rachel brings us candidates we could never find on our own — many of whom were not even looking to move at the time and are now integral parts of our team. And even when one placement did not work out, through no fault of any party, Rachel met her commitments and helped us fill the role in short order.
Rachel is now a trusted member of our team. When we have a role to fill, we turn to her first — knowing we can direct our time, energy, and efforts elsewhere while she finds us quality candidates.
I recommend her without hesitation.
