Velocity Resource

Velocity Resource Group is a Tampa-based recruitment firm founded by John Fortino and David Simpson after identifying inefficiencies in Fortune 500 talent acquisition processes. With two decades of experience, they have evolved to become a go-to resource for sourcing and candidate engagement, positioning themselves as the best value in the recruitment industry. Their people-powered approach combines recruiting expertise with an uncompromising focus on delivering qualified, available, and interested candidates.

Velocity Resource Group operates on a streamlined three-step process: they source talent using comprehensive resources to locate even the most hidden candidates, qualify prospects through U.S.-based recruiters who conduct outreach campaigns and telephone pre-screens, and deliver qualified candidates ready for immediate client engagement. Their approach addresses common recruiting challenges including limited time, budget, talent pool, and toolkit resources.

The company offers six specialized service offerings designed to meet diverse client needs. Their core Rapid QAI service delivers qualified, available, and interested candidates overnight, while Velocity VIP focuses on executive-level talent sourcing. For global needs, Velocity Passport leverages experience across 50+ countries and six continents, working around the clock to find international talent.

Velocity's commitment to diversity and inclusion is demonstrated through their Diversity Sourcing service, which helps organizations reach DEI goals using their comprehensive QAI approach. Their Velocity Builder service accelerates candidate pipeline development, doubling speed and maximizing volume over 30-day periods, while Velocity Sync maintains continuous candidate flow by screening both inbound talent and active prospects.

Utilizing a blended off-shore model, Velocity delivers overnight results that free talent acquisition leaders from time-consuming sourcing work. They serve over 2,000 clients across all functional skill sets, company sizes, and industry types, emphasizing speed, value, experience, flexibility, quality, confidentiality, market insight, and true partnership in their service delivery approach.
