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”
“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.”
We have worked with several staffing agencies over the years but working with the Advance Group has been a breath of fresh air!
