Testimonials from our tribe

Matt Conway

Vito is knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with him on both sides of recruiting and have been happy with his efforts and results on both fronts.

Tracy Grygiel

Vito Chesky was one of the most dedicated professionals through his work at ICONSTAFF. Intelligent perfectionist with the ability to make good, sometimes bold decisions. Very good, honest and wise co-worker. Works towards maximal customer satisfaction. Is able to manage tasks of entire team.

Anna Goldie

Vito has all the qualities of a top-notch recruiter: charisma, attention to detail, knowledge of the industry, a strong network, and a great “phone-side” manner, but what impresses me most as a candidate is that he has never once wasted my time with an opportunity that wasn’t a plausible match on both sides. And the longer I’ve worked with him the better these matches have become.

Josh West

I was incredibly fortunate enough to be introduced to Vito and Icon Staff roughly five years ago. In all my years prior, and all my years since, I’ve never met any recruiter or recruitment firm with such a dedication to placing candidates into the right position. He worked diligently to match me with the right job as it is incredibly important to him that candidates and companies be the right fit. He accomplishes this by… Read more “Josh West”

Yuval Shavit

Vito is a really fantastic recruiter: thoughtful, empathetic, and well-connected. He took the time to talk to me a couple times until he truly understood what I was looking for, and then connected me with a few companies (during a fairly dry spell in the market, too!) — one of which was a great match that I’ll be joining in just a couple weeks. Vito was an invaluable resource throughout the process: during the search… Read more “Yuval Shavit”

Steve Strassmann

Vito is unlike any other recruiter I’ve worked with. I’ve worked with many, both as a hiring manager and as a candidate, but it’s safe to say none of them are in Vito’s league. He has built over many years an impressive network of connections in the software developer world, and has surprised me with truly great introductions and insights. He puts the work in, he takes the time to really get to know me… Read more “Steve Strassmann”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays for your services?
Our services are paid for by employers.
Can you teach me how to negotiate the best salary package?
We work with both the employer and the candidate to ensure that salary negotiations are productive for both parties.
Do you have jobs outside the Boston area?
Yes, we have a tight affiliation with over 2000 other agencies across the world. We have placed people from Charlestown to Beijing and in between.
What is the best time to contact a recruiter?
Anytime is fine, but ideally well before you think you have to. A recruiter is like your doctor or dentist (with a better sense of humor) and should be contacted at least annually so you can understand how marketable your current skills are. Regular contact will also ensure that you will be contacted when that “perfect” opportunity presents itself.
Is there really such a thing as “The hidden job market”?
No, not really. However, we often hear from hiring managers about new jobs days or even weeks before they are posted online. Often the hiring manager is so busy with their “full-time job” that they don’t have time to craft a proper job description. This lead time can be a significant advantage to our candidates. Another scenario which is common with our earlier start-up clients is where the hiring managers simply don’t have the time or bandwidth to comb through hundreds of online applications. As a result, they will often rely solely on us to recruit a “short list” (or one well qualified candidate) for the role without advertising to the outside world.
What can I expect from an Iconstaff recruiter?
You can expect to be treated with respect and professionalism. Our goal is to provide all of our clients and candidates with a memorable, positive, and productive experience. You can expect us to know our client companies well which translates into more productive interviews for you. You can also expect timely follow up, follow through and closure.
What do you expect of candidates?
We love to work with and accommodate all kinds of people. We do not have any big rules but we do ask that the candidate get back to us via phone or email after each interview that we set up for you. We appreciate and value your courtesy, trust, and professionalism. We urge you to ask us anything about how we can help you advance your career.
What does Iconstaff expect of its client companies?
Our client companies are hand picked. We represent industry leaders and “game changers” and sometimes just regular well run companies. They all share one common vision, which starts with hiring well. We select and work with employers with terrific work environments, great benefits, competitive pay and meaningful projects.
Is it true that some of the best people write the worst resumes?
Yes! Do not hesitate to ask us to assess your resume. It is an important piece of information that will be read and interpreted by a wide range of audiences from junior recruiters to senior level executives. We can help your resume speak to all of them.
Do I need a resume to contact a recruiter?
Absolutely not, let’s talk! We are often able to secure an interview for our candidates without a formal resume. We can also help you put a resume together.

So, let’s talk!
