“Always a pleasure working with any of the staff from Advance. Always sends great candidates and works with us to make sure everything is running smooth. I started the position I hold now as a temp through Advance so I have that side of the experience as well.”
The Advance Group has long been a strategic partner to Pro-Pak Industries, providing us a vast degree of human capital to meet our ever-changing personnel needs. As a strategic partner, members of The Advance Group team have become actively engaged in our business, understanding our processes and building report with plant supervision. Their staff has been truly professional and aligned with our business so that we are collectively supporting one another, especially with the recruitment, development and retention of our greatest asset. I highly recommend The Advance Group to assist you with your pursuit of your next talent acquisition.
“We’ve been working with Advance for about 5 years for hiring welders, machine shop laborers, steel cutters and shipping/receiving employees. I have good communication with Alayna and whenever there have been any issues, she made a point to correct them immediately. I would recommend The Advance Group because of the quality of candidates and their communication. Give Advance a chance and they will improve your company with their hiring process.”
I have had the pleasure of working with The Advance Group for over a year now and it is very clear that this recruiting company is customer driven. The Staffing Specialist and Regional Manager that handle our company account have been very patient and have gone above and beyond to make sure Advance is doing everything in their power to get contract employees through the door as fast as possible. Advance was able to supply more applicants than their competition in 2019 and also maintained leading percentages for filling job titles that are in the highest demand at our company. I look forward to working with The Advance Group in 2020!!!!
We have used Advance to help us with some specialized, hard-to-fill positions. Advance provides us with quality candidates, in a timely manner. They take the time to learn about our company and our needs, ensuring the right fit from day one. We are fans of Advance.
WFQ has been using Advance for about one year now. We were looking for a staffing company that could meet our short time demands and provide us with qualified candidates to aide in our sorting activities for our customers. WFQ has been happy with the services provided by the staff at Advance. I have directly hired one of the inspectors that has been working with our Toledo team at multiple sites for approximately 8 months. She has been a great asset to our team. I would like to thank Alayna, Kaydee and the other Advance staff for going out of their way in helping to find candidates in a moment’s notice or last minute to cover the weekend when our customer needs us onsite.
