“I made calls last night to prospective employees, and I used your plan. I sent out three e-mails requesting the prospect to describe situations that fit our core values. I received one response. Thanks for saving me time, since I like all three and would have certainly invited them in for an initial interview. ”
“When we first participated in HR Advantage’s Position Benchmark Process for our Quality Manager position, we didn’t know exactly what to expect, but we trusted them for the other services and counsel they’d provided to us in the past. After completing the benchmark, we immediately saw the value. Upon using HR Advantage’s HireSmarter process to fill the position as we designed it in the Benchmark, we found our new QM, and almost a year later I can say he is a real star in this outfit, a perfect fit. I finally realized, after working with HR Advantage and following the selection process, that hiring really doesn't have to be a crap shoot.”
“My experience with HR Advantage was positive in every way. Their workshops were lively and professional, with a personal touch. Cyndi and John went out of their way to make sure that my colleagues and I received answers to all of our questions. The knowledge that I gained about my own assets from their assessment services is proving invaluable, as I continue to grow and strive for success in my professional and personal lives. Thank you!”
"When we needed a trainer on extremely short notice, we called Cyndi who was both willing and excited to help us. Essentially, we sent a copy of the material to her to study on the plane and each of the three nights preceding the classes to be taught. The experience and enthusiasm Cyndi brought to the class was clearly appreciated by the participants whose evaluation forms expressed only positive comments about their instructor."
"When I accepted an HR position in a manufacturing facility, I knew I'd be very busy, but I was relieved to find HR Advantage to create our Affirmative Action Plan. When it was done, I used this tool to review the impact of our employment practices and implement reasonable procedures. They did the detail work, which left me time to use it for strategic purposes. It worked out so well, I recommended HR Advantage to my regional manager who asked them to help with plans in several other states!"
"I've always placed a high value on the bonding that comes from management team spending an overnight away from the office for training. When Cyndi conducted a day and a half Employee Feedback training for us at the St. Clair Inn on Employee Feedback, I was pleased with, not only the teamwork that occurred, but how she even had the greatest resisters participating and clamoring for monthly follow-up meetings. That gave us a great start to meeting the needs of our employees who were requesting more feedback from the management team."
"Our business is unique in that a great majority of our employees are scattered throughout Michigan. While we've maintained an internal HR Professional to handle day-to-day activities, it was a relief to identify HR Advantage to supplement our existing staff as a source for more strategic issues - from Employee Handbooks to benefits review."
"Working with HR Advantage on our Affirmative Action Plans has given us a sense of great professional comfort. The staff helps us navigate the gray areas of regulations, assembles data, and works to insure accuracy. Since each of our locations recruits from different universities for varying positions, HR Advantage actually contacts each school for their demographic data for availability. Knowing they are experts in the field, keeping apprised of regulations and the precedents of our regional OFCCP office, gives us an added level of confidence to approach the implementation of each year's plan and to respond to audits, should they occur."
"After our audit by the OFCCP, the auditor commented our Affirmative Action Plan, completed by HR Advantage, was very well put together, and the first plan she'd worked with that actually followed the new regulations. We were pleased HR Advantage was able to respond to regulations which were not in place for a full month before the creation of our plan and subsequent audit"
"We are pleased with the value of our investment through our staff-up and general services we received from HR Advantage. It's nice to know they can flex their staff to accommodate our fluctuating needs - whether by area of expertise or quantity of time required. In one year we grew from 25 to 65 employees - I can't imagine how we would have accomplished that growth if it were left to our internal staff already burdened with production and client service issues of our own."
"We've called on Cyndi & HR Advantage to help us with various training, from small employee groups to the regional management team, and we've never been disappointed. Even on short notice, she's tailored training to our needs; she's learned our industry and understands our specific challenges. From multiple generations in the workplace, to employee feedback, she's always a favorite speaker."
"Cyndi was asked to provide Change Management Training at a conference designed to address concerns and fears of all employees who had been impacted somehow through our reorganization, new policies and new procedures. And Change Management it was! The night before the training, most of us received letters in the mail indicating new ownership - effective immediately! Cyndi did a great job incorporating this new twist into the program and working through so many of the issues which frightened everyone about change."
"Cyndi knows we're fanatics about precision in our business, so the fact that the software HR Advantage uses allows the census data to match up the availability of actual jobs within a job group, makes us confident the availability of say Electrical Engineers in the statistical area are being considered, not just Professionals in general. We can confidently assess the availability of candidates to the very unique jobs in our business."
"Shortly after I accepted a position with a large Detroit firm, I realized we needed an Affirmative Action Plan. Coincidentally, I had just met Cyndi gave of HR Advantage. As she left my office where we discussed this need, I received a call from the OFCCP announcing an audit of our plan. HR Advantage not only was able to help us achieve compliance, but Cyndi was in our offices throughout the on-site portion of the audit to assist and represent us as necessary. We came through with flying colors, but the reassurance of having the professionals of HR Advantage with us side-by-side was immeasurable."
