The Problem

Your next great hire isn't applying to job posts.

The best Tax, Audit, and Advisory professionals aren't browsing job boards. They're employed, busy, and invisible to standard recruiting methods.

Firms that rely on job postings and inbound applicants are competing for the same shrinking pool — meanwhile, the top 10% of talent never even sees the opening.

Vivid Resources exists to solve that problem.

Why Vivid Resources

Relationships first. AI-powered, Always.

Technology helps us find talent at scale. Relationships help us understand who that talent actually is.

Most recruiting firms rely on outdated databases and mass outreach. We combine two decades of recruiting relationships with modern sourcing technology, so you get candidates who are both qualified and genuinely excited about your firm.

The result: access to talent that might not show up in a traditional search.

What firms are saying.

Laura reached out last year when I was in a pickle and needed a full-time employee at the start of tax season. She introduced me to a great candidate who jumped right in and fit perfectly with the rest of the staff — and that hire is still a great addition to our team. It went so well that a month later, when I needed a seasonal staff member, she did it again. Her expertise and understanding of what I needed helped me fill two positions in just a couple of weeks instead of months.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura on public accounting recruiting needs, and she has been fantastic to work with. She quickly understood what we were looking for, brought us a strong slate of candidates, and ultimately helped us make a great hire. She’s responsive, thoughtful, and truly understands how to connect the right people with the right opportunities. I’d highly recommend Laura and her Vivid Resources!

We'd exhausted job boards and internal referrals for a Family Office role that had been open for months. Laura's team mapped the market and delivered three interview-ready candidates within weeks, each one already vetted against our specific requirements — the interviews felt like final conversations, not screening calls.
