A Unique Reach in Identifying Candidates

My relationship and partnership with Advanced Hires goes back a couple of careers now. Tina has been a trusted partner because she has helped us enormously; not only in finding talent but in helping us find the right kind of talent. We’re not looking for bodies, we’re looking for talent with the right experiences – people with real assets.

Working with Advanced Hires Just Makes Sense

My background with Tina and Vicki from Advanced Hires, well, it just makes sense to work with people like that. If anyone ever asks me for advice, the first thing I’ll say is ‘Work with the right people.’ Advanced Hires finds the right people for us and they’ve just been a great fit for us as a partner.

Tina is a first-rate recruiter

Tina is a first-rate recruiter. I found her to be extremely courteous, professional, and pro-active. I had been in the job market for some time, and she was very helpful in assisting me with my job search and providing helpful feedback about my resume, etc. Tina had a good understanding of her client’s needs and was able to get me suitable opportunities very quickly. I would not hesitate in recommending Tina – she is a person that I would be delighted to work with again in the future.

If only all recruiters were so conscientious and well-mannered…

Tina has an outstanding reputation with me for bringing us qualified candidates very quickly. While other recruiters were struggling to understand my needs, Tina was able to provide me with a small selection of well-qualified candidates. If only all recruiters were so conscientious and well-mannered…

A Placed Candidate’s Take on James Hellmich, Recruiter

I worked with James Hellmich and it was a very good experience. I could tell James was interested in helping people. He wanted to know more than just facts and figures; he wanted to know more about me as a person, which is not always the case with people who are trying to connect you with employers.

Placed Advanced Hires Candidate

Due Diligence on Both Ends of the Spectrum

Tina was great! The thing I really liked was her energy, her attention to detail, and her ability to focus on what I brought to the table too. I felt that she was my advocate during the whole process as well.

Vicki has been a great resource

Vicki has been a great resource for us when trying to track down talented individuals. Even when we have opened up our search using multiple vendors, Vicki has consistently found the candidate to match our positions. Not only have we hired several of her candidates, but they turned out to be great employees and not just good interviewees. Vicki is great to work with, does her homework, is very responsive, and continues to deliver…What more could you ask for?

Regardless of the obstacles

I could ask Kevin anything and he would find a way to get it done, regardless of the obstacles.

A Refreshing Experience Balancing Candor and Caring

In an industry that has a reputation of being cut-throat, working with Tina on a search for a candidate, or as a candidate is a refreshing experience balancing candor and caring. She is one of the great ones!

—Mark Zwick

Getting to know the clients deeply

One of the things that sets Advanced Hires apart is that they really get to know their clients; whether they are clients that are looking for work, or the clients companies are hiring. They get to know their clients very deeply.

Wants to see you succeed

Kevin goes at a million miles a minute, but he is a pleasure to work with because he is so dedicated to whatever he’s doing. He puts everything into what’s he’s doing; and that’s from the minute he wakes up to the minute he goes to bed. If Kevin can take a simple resume, like he did with me, he can help people not only like me, but people of all places and levels to really elevate them. I know that Advanced Hires is going to bring a lot of people up to the next level.

—Joe Medrano
District Manager – Aramark

Highly recommend them

I have worked with Vicki Johnson from Advanced Hires a few times when hiring candidates. They have always quickly provided quality candidates, candidates that we went on to hire and are still part of my team today. I would highly recommend them.

— Joe Suchy
Director of Software Development 

Kevin always handled himself in a professional manner

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin on a few occasions for purchases while he was with All Traffic Solutions. Kevin always handled himself in a professional manner, yet also added the personal and friendly approach, which made it very enjoyable to do business with him.

Great to work with

Advanced Hires helped us fill some of our vacancies in the restaurant/hospitality industry, which experiences high turnover. We hired Advanced Hires to help us strategically plan and recruit back-of-house and front-of-house employees and they did a phenomenal job. We worked with them for about 3-4 months and we’d been about 5 months into the business, and they’ve helped us acquire anywhere between 100 and 150 resumes. So, it’s been great for us on that aspect. From Day One to present, they’ve been great to work with – meeting with us on time, answering our phone calls, and sending us quality applicants. It’s been a little difficult for us to actually choose some of our employees because we’ve been having great success with that aspect of their business.

Owner, Snifter; – Chairman of the Board, Centro Hispano

Takes a genuine interest in the individual

I’ve been around for almost 40 years in this business. Tina has been great. I kept her on my list of recruiters. Tina actually takes a genuine interest in the individual and works with you to understand what you are looking for. She was interested in me as a person and a professional. She’s willing to tell you if it’s realistic or not, or what’s out in the marketplace. Tina knows where you are and what you can bring to a firm that you’re valued at.

Vicki was Instrumental

Vicki was instrumental in helping me change companies and move my career forward. She recruited me into my current position, and she was very helpful in setting up my introduction to the company and being there throughout the hiring process. I am extremely happy here and I find that the position and company are a good fit for me. Vicki was very professional, patient, knowledgeable, and available throughout the entire recruiting process. I am very happy to have worked with Vicki, and would recommend her to anyone looking to move their career forward.

Vicki is an outstanding recruiter

Vicki is an outstanding recruiter, career coach, and professional who takes the added time to truly bring value to her clients.

Helping to grow and develop talent for the businesses in the area

What’s good for the community is good for business. And what’s good for business is good for the community. Tina and Advanced Hires really lives and breathes that. There needs to be a lot of efforts to get more young people into the technology field. This is the business Tina’s in: recruiting and finding talent to provide to the business community. Tina and Advanced Hires shares that business and community alignment (and strategy) that’s helping to grow and develop talent for the businesses in the area. I see Tina’s passion and commitment to helping the community, helping young adults, and helping students get into technology so they can develop the skills and the talent will help Advanced Hires in their success with the business communities here in Milwaukee.

Working with Kevin was very pleasant

Because of my specific skills, it was very hard for me to find the right fit and right position. I was actually very surprised at the level of knowledge that Advanced Hires had about the marketing industry. It was very easy for them to understand the complexity and the nuances of a job like that.

Many thanks to Tina

I had the pleasure of working with Tina and Advanced Hires earlier this year. I found Tina to be extremely kind, professional, and helpful. She checked in with me often, worked with me to ensure my success as a potential candidate, and seemed to genuinely care about my success.

She leaves no stone unturned

I had the opportunity to work with Tina. She is very talented at both recruiting and client relationships. She is detail orientated, intelligent, and has a sincere/calming demeanor. She is a true pro in uncovering the objectives/goals of the hiring manager, and identifying top talent through her connections in the marketplace from many years of experience. She leaves no stone unturned which is why she has had sustained success in this business.

They go out of their way to give to many causes that they care about and really walk the walk in supporting the community.
