It is always inspiring to see a company thrive and grow in this community, and that’s doubly true when it does so by helping the region’s core industries succeed. AdvantaStaff has done just that from its Central Virginia headquarters, where the company helps manufacturers, distributors, and others fill a wide range of critical positions in an environment where talent is sometimes scarce, and staffing needs can be unpredictable.
More and more, companies recognize the benefits of working with a staffing service for a variety of challenges. Those benefits are reflected in the success and growth of AdvantaStaff as it marks its 20-year anniversary.
“Some customers rely on AdvantaStaff to meet seasonal or inconsistent staffing needs, while others have permanent, higher-level positions to fill,” said company president Christine Chandler. “We excel at filling a wide spectrum of positions by taking a tailored approach. We’re not just checking off boxes. We’re responding to a company’s specific challenges and goals – and leveraging our contacts and expertise to fill them quickly and effectively.”
Niche Expertise for Dynamic Needs
As part of the Wauford Group, AdvantaStaff has a depth of knowledge specific to manufacturing and distribution. Their customers find the company is well equipped to staff positions for all skill levels, from reliable warehouse help and talented administrative support to trusted, experienced supervisors and advanced manufacturing roles including engineers, finance analysts and compliance professionals. They have the agility to quickly fill openings for long-term positions as well as seasonal surges and time-limited projects. The businesses who work with the company have the option to bring on staff full-time if they wish.
AdvantaStaff has made a name in the market as the staffing service trusted to work with some of the region’s largest companies. Locals in the Greater Richmond region likely know someone who has had a positive experience working with the company, as AdvantaStaff has placed thousands in full-time roles with their customers. The company’s reputation for effectiveness has allowed it to spread its reach across multiple states, most recently when a longtime customer engaged them to staff hard-to-fill positions in North Carolina using a remote process that worked for all.
Optimize the Hiring Process
AdvantaStaff takes on the tedious, time-consuming task of hiring and turns it into a highly effective but personalized system. They narrow the candidates, partner with hiring managers to find the best fit, and handle salary, benefits and expenses – like workers’ comp insurance and screening costs. Depending on staffing levels, AdvantaStaff helps companies control costs by providing on-site account management and taking on tasks like new employee orientation, daily safety briefings and job assignments, and assistance with time tracking.
Local businesses also look to AdvantaStaff’s experts to advise on appropriate pay rates for positions. The customer only pays for the service if the parties agree on a candidate and successfully place an employee in an open position.
