Testimonials
I’ve been working with The Advance Group for the past 7 years. I have worked with numerous Staffing companies to help fill our openings, and The Advance Group is by far superior than all others.
My plant is very difficult to maintain a full time crew because our needs vary throughout the year, although, they understand and have the ability to fill our needs on short, to no notice.
The ability for them to adhere to our demands and even adjust the agreements to meet our guidelines, puts them head and shoulders above the rest.
“The overall service is by far the best”
“Staff was very polite and helpful. I have never used a staffing service before. I was pleasantly surprised on how thorough and helpful the advance staff were to me. Many thanks, Dan.”
We have been working with the Advance Group for 5 plus years and have been able to count on them to help facilitate our staffing needs and they always go beyond our expectations. Renee, Mindy, Crystal, Tara and everyone at the Advance Group have made themselves readily available and work hard to keep us informed of any changes or issues with our contract staffing. They know our company and find us candidates that match our needs.
The Advanced Group is our primary vendor for staffing services. They understand our business. That’s important to provide candidates with the skills to support our business needs. A representative is available 24/7 if we require assistance. They do a great job.
“Special Thanks to the Advance team for going above and beyond for our company. Things have been tough for everyone the last 2 years and finding help is not a simple thing these days. Thanks to the Advance team for keeping us fully staffed with hard working dedicated employees. The team works very hard to find you the best employees to fit your requirements and will work out for the long term leading to less employee turnaround. I strongly suggest the Advance team to assist your staffing needs.”

“We were down an employee due to an illness at a critical time of our season. The absence was going to be a long one due to the severity of the illness. We called The Advance Group and they committed to helping us out, and they delivered. Crystal and her associates put us in touch with several candidates soon after we began working with Advance. We interviewed a few candidates and put our employees replacement to work soon after. We have been very satisfied with the person, he is a dependable, competent worker going on over two months now.
