How long does it typically take to fill an assignment?
It’s our business to know the right people prior to a need arising. We know more top senior professionals than anyone else in our market, enabling us to consistently align the best professional for the assignment. The right technical and stylistic fit can typically be identified in less than 48 hours.

Is Vallon similar to a consulting firm?
No.  Typically consulting firms are selling process and methodology that ultimately gives a company advice on what to do.  Vallon provides Talent that hits the road running day one.  At the completion of a Vallon assignment, the work is done, not just beginning.
