we've helped find BETTER jobs!
Great! The front office is really easy to deal with and my staffing professional Nikki is very understanding and informative. I’ve had a great experience here.
So, I was in a bit of a financial bind and thought, why not look for a new job? Ended up going with a smaller agency in Sylvania because it’s closer to home, and they even cover positions in Michigan, which is a win. What I dig about your place is that every time I call, it’s the same person on the other end – no need to keep explaining myself. The job’s been great, got a promotion quick, and the folks are genuinely awesome. It definitely helps with the bills, but the cool and supportive vibe at work adds a lot to the satisfaction. I’d totally recommend Advance because my recruiter makes me feel like an actual person, not just another number. It’s all about that personal connection.
“You did very well”
“Great employers and employees. Great work experience!”
“Losing my dad really hit me hard, but Advance helped me rise again. Unlike my past agency, they truly listened to my interests and found me a job that fit me perfectly. The team’s kindness and the positive vibes at my new employer tell me this is going to be incredible. If you’re job hunting, choose Advance for professionalism, genuine care, and a path to success. Thanks, Ellen, for everything!”
“Choosing Advance was a no-brainer for me. After a misfit in my last job, I remembered their friendliness and efficiency from working with them in the past. Now, they make everything easy and convenient, offering benefits and 401k. Not only a job… feels more like a lifetime opportunity. I love the job, the people, the pace, and the continuous learning. Advance is quick, informed, and genuinely care, making them an easy recommendation.”

BETTER results with The Advance Group.
I’ve worked with the Advance group for a little over 12 years , they have always been professional and timely in filling our open positions. They have supplied several key personnel to our business and I would recommend them and their services, to any business looking for a staffing company.
“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.”
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.
“The Advance Group is a GREAT strategic staffing partner!! They understand our multi-site business model and provide custom solutions to meet our needs. Proactive in responding to market conditions.”
“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.”
