What People Are Saying About Us
Halpin supplies us with 70% of our work force during our busy season and has always came thru when needed. They are very responsive when we have last minute requests. Because of their dedication to make sure we are well staffed we are in our 3rd year partnering with Halpin to help us have another successful season.
Halpin partnered with us while we were experiencing a severe staffing shortage. Their staff went above and beyond to fill our open positions with qualified and solid personnel. Halpin has continued to provide outstanding service through the years since then, and we are happy to collaborate with them. If you are looking for a personable and professional staffing service that provides results, call Halpin!
I have had a great relationship with Halpin. The Halpin team really stands out in their industry, not only for their staffing services, but for their approach to client partnerships as well. Our needs are consistently met with a very short time to fill and they have been one of our greatest allies as we source talent in a highly competitive recruiting environment.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
