“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.”
“I had a good experience. Everyone was helpful and patient.”
“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. Thank you Advance, for a job well done.”
“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.”
Decorative Panels International (DPI) has been working with the Advance Group for over 4 years now. They are definitely one of the best staffing solutions available. They have always worked very hard in finding candidates to fill our openings in a very timely fashion when requested.
Special thanks to the entire staff at Advance. They are absolute pleasure to work with and are very professional. Looking forward to using Advance for the foreseeable future.
Starting out in the winter of January of 2000, I was in between jobs when I came across the job at Mazda plant in Flatrock. I came in for a week’s long job working in the Stamping Dept. After about a week of work I was offered a job that has now lasted me 20 years with the same company and outfit at the Flatrock Ford Plant. The people and the education that I have received will last me a life time. They really know and understand family, and that is one of the reasons I have continued working here to this day.
It has been a pleasure working with Advance. All of the staff members are great. They are quick at responding to requests and great with follow ups and continued communication. We have had several successful placements that we hired on as permanent employees. We look forward to continuing to work with them.
“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 have been using Advance Group for decades, the company is service oriented and always has a quick response to no matter what my needs are. I would not recommend Advance Group if their performance was not always stellar.
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”
“Donna and all at The Advance Group have always been timely and thorough in finding the best available candidates on-demand to help our company maintain growth in a challenging industry.”
“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.”
As an employer who has been a business partner with the Advance Group for the last nine years, it has been my pleasure to work with this staffing firm and also Molly Crosby, Staffing Specialist at the Southgate, MI location. Molly is always very responsive to the staffing needs of Huron Valley Steel Corporation, and keeps me informed as to when candidates are confirmed for interviews in a very prompt manner. She also is very responsive with follow-up after an offer of employment has been extended, and keeps in touch on a regular basis to ensure she is supporting our staffing needs in the best means possible. I highly recommend using the Advance Group for temporary or full-time staffing needs, as both Molly and the Advance Group have been excellent and highly supportive staffing business partners.
When it comes to staffing, The Advance Group has always worked hard to fill our needs. Professional and courteous staff. Keep up the good work Advance Group.
“I highly recommend Advance to companies and candidates looking for employment. The recruiters and team at Advance are top-notch! Our company has used Advance for many years. Advance have helped us with very specialized and difficult to fill positions. They provide us with quality candidates and in a timely manner. They are amazing to work with, especially Niki Schroeder, one of their recruiters. Advance has demonstrated a high degree of integrity and loyalty with our partnership and have helped our staffing needs tremendously.”
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.
We are very happy with the quality and attendance of the people The Advance Group sends us right now. They earned the spot to be our only supplier even though the cost is more, we have value.
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!!!!
Been working with Advance Temporary Services for about a year now and it’s been a successful partnership. The Advance recruiters assigned to Ternes have been very professional, kind and considerate of our needs. Both Crystal and Ryann have done a very nice job in filling our orders on a timely basis.
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.
