What People Are Saying About Us
Our company has utilized Halpin for almost ten years now. Of course, we have dabbled with other placements services that promised lower rates or better-quality candidates over that timeframe, but nothing compares to the professionalism and reliable customer service that we receive on a continual basis with Halpin. Currently, we don’t even think twice about it when a temporary, temp-to-hire, or direct hire placement is required. The first call always goes to Halpin.
Integrity, reliability and excellence are all attributes that solidify our business relationship with Halpin. We have worked together for over 6 years, and have found them to be conscientious, proactive and progressive in their approach to satisfying our needs.
Halpin contacted me back in May of 2010 about a job opportunity. I had never heard of the employer previously and knew nothing about the electronics field. With a bit of apprehension because the position was something completely new, I accepted the role of Systems Assembler. After a year, I was hired in as a permanent employee. I continued to work hard in a few different areas of the plant before getting the opportunity to become a department lead in 2015. In parallel to acquiring this position, I began going to school for electrical engineering using the employer’s tuition reimbursement program. In November of 2018, I applied for and received a Production Supervisor position which is responsible for overseeing more than half of the employer’s manufacturing. I’m also one class away from receiving my electrical engineering degree!
Halpin has always been a great source for excellent temporary help. Their screening process and understanding of our business is well tuned with our needs in mind. In fact, over 72% of our staff started as temporary help from Halpin and as our company grew we were able to hire them on as full-time employees.
Our company has grown with them over the past 15 years and they’ve been a true asset for our labor needs. Their staff is excellent to work with and they really strive to find the right fit for our company.
We couldn’t have chosen a better partner for our payroll and staffing needs than Halpin. They have been consistent in their performance, while continuing to explore different avenues to improve our communications and processes to better serve our payroll and staffing needs.
I came to Halpin in April 2013 in search of employment. I was a full-time student obtaining my business management degree and looking for experience in the business field. This was my first experience with a “staffing” agency, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My recruiter did an excellent job of getting to know my professional background and finding the right fit for me. They set me up with an interview at a local organization, and I started with that company in June 2013. Throughout my employment with Halpin, they were very helpful with any questions that I had. Anytime I needed something and emailed them, I got an immediate response. After a probationary period, I was officially hired in at the company as a full-time employee! I am grateful for the opportunity that Halpin provided me, as it was a perfect start to my career!
I have worked with Halpin in several capacities – temporary assignments, temp-to-hire, payrolling and direct hire – and have been pleased with the results. I was especially happy that they were able to fill a high-level management position as a direct hire. I am confident in the candidates that are submitted, as they have taken the time to understand our culture and our machinery.
We were seeking a junior accountant to assist our company during tax season. Halpin first met with us to discuss our needs, then began submitting candidates for us to interview which suited our requirements. By working with their staff of recruiters it not only saved us time and money, but we were able to utilize the services of a quality candidate to handle the increased work load that occurs every year at this time. I would highly recommend Halpin for any professional staffing needs.
I was searching for new opportunities in the southeast Wisconsin area. After working with a local management recruiting service for several months, I had not been on any interviews which seemed strange. Halpin had been recruiting for a Manufacturing Manager at a local foundry and machine shop in Racine. I arranged an interview with one of Halpin’s professional recruiters. Shortly after, I was scheduled to interview directly with their client. It was a tight competition for the position, but I was offered the role of Manufacturing Manager shortly after my interview. I appreciate the professionalism of Halpin and am glad they were able to assist me in securing this Direct Hire role! A few months into my new job the person I had been working with from the management recruiting service stopped in and asked me why I was at a foundry when I had die-casting experience. This told me that Halpin was willing to look outside the box for other possibilities besides die cast for me, which is how I secured this position.
I was looking for a part time flexible job opportunity. Halpin was quickly able to find a great employer match for me. My recruiter was professional and personable. Halpin made the interview and hiring process as simple and pain free as it gets! After two months, I was hired into the company they placed me at. Thank you for the help and wonderful experience.
