“I would highly recommend The Advance Group for your temporary, or temp to perm hires. Their customer service is one of a kind. They will work tirelessly to find you the right candidate to fit your needs. Even with this very difficult labor market these days, they are relentless in going above and beyond. I am forever grateful.”
“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.”
“I have had the opportunity to work with various staffing agencies in the Toledo area. By far, The Advance Group really gets the job done! The responsiveness from the team at Advance has been outstanding and the dynamic continues to grow! The team really understands our needs and works tirelessly to ensure our staffing requirements are met, day in and day out. They are truly the experts in their field and really stand apart from the rest. I am very thankful for the good candidates that they have assigned overs the years, ultimately assisting in the growth of our operations.”
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.
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.
I would just like to say thank you so much for helping us find a great employee. When we made a request to find an individual to help us out at American Interiors and Nick Hughes responded very quickly and found us multiple candidates. Your team made sure the process went very smooth and anytime I had any questions, your team responded quickly. Rephael has been a great addition to our team here at American Interiors and I look forward to working with The Advance Group in the future. I can’t thank your team enough and keep up the great work!
We have worked with several staffing agencies over the years but working with the Advance Group has been a breath of fresh air! Their professionalism, partnership, and responsiveness to our needs has been phenomenal. Their expertise in an unprecedented job market has given us the opportunity to hire quality candidates we would not have found on our own.
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.
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.
As a production manager, I’m always focused on building depth within my team—but not everyone wants to step up or run complex equipment. When demand increased, Advance Staffing delivered. They provided several high-quality operators and quality auditing personnel who met our very specific needs. We’re now building depth at a faster rate than ever before, and Advance has played a major role in that. The team has been excellent—easy to work with, attentive, and thorough. They ask the right questions and take the time to understand exactly what we’re looking for. I genuinely appreciate everything the Advance team has done and will continue to rely on them for our high-skill positions.

“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.”
“The Advance Group is engaged with their clients. The initial kickoff was great. They asked relative questions to understand the businesses and the needs of the business. They viewed the shop and did a walk around. After the kickoff, the team we work with is very responsive, they reach out to us with candidates and call to see how things are going. They have answered a lot of questions and have given insight to the job market and expectations.”
“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.”
