What People Are Saying About Us
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!
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.
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.
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.
I have been with Halpin for over three years. I was leery on using a staffing agency. I didn’t believe I would get a permanent position at a company. I was placed at a warehouse and it was not an easy position at first. I worked hard as I was coached by my recruiter. Later, I was hired into that company. I was permanently laid off due to the company shutting its doors. My recruiter contacted me right away to ask if I needed her to look for another position for me. It wasn’t long and Halpin had placed me again. I have currently been hired into a company that I love. Thanks to Halpin I was able to find my dream job.
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 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.
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 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.
