Why should we choose Unique Advantage over a national staffing company?

Unique Advantage is a privately held company. We own all our offices and can ensure the excellence and consistency of service delivery, whereas many national staffing companies are franchised, with local offices that offer varying levels of service quality.

The personnel needs of my company are very diverse. Can Unique Advantage accommodate requests to fill Direct-Hire and Temporary-to-Hire positions as well as Temporary positions?

Our roots are in Temporary staffing, but we have also established a highly successful track record in Direct-Hire search and Temporary-to-Hire placement. We listen carefully to your needs so that we understand exactly what work must be done and the environment in which it will take place. We pay close attention to short-term situations and long-term forecasts so that we can identify the best and most cost-effective utilization of Temporary and Direct-Hire resources based on your current and projected workload.

My firm currently utilizes several staffing agencies, but we're having difficulty managing these multiple relationships. Can Unique Advantage provide us with a single point of contact for satisfying all our staffing needs?

Our Single Source Program enables us to meet all your Talent management requirements, including handling relationships with other staffing agencies. Through this program, we provide a dedicated representative who works on or off site, depending upon your needs and volume. [Click for More]

We will be announcing a major downsizing next month and would like to offer job search assistance to affected employees. What can Unique Advantage do to help them in their efforts to find new opportunities?

Our Outplacement Program was designed to help with the transition process through training in effective job search techniques. It includes seminars, self-assessment tools, coaching, interviewing tips, career-development workshops, and training in computer skills. [Click for More]

As a quality-conscious organization, we expect our vendors to give top priority to service excellence. Have you been acknowledged for your successes?

The Unique Advantage Partnership is strongly committed to the highest level of service delivery. Our Total Quality Management Program was designed to track, monitor, and guarantee service delivery.

What does Unique Advantage offer in the way of eProcurement services?

We provide a powerful and proprietary TalentLink^SM information management system that rapidly identifies Talent to meet a Client's unique requirements for either Temporary staffing or Direct Hires. We have also established a partnership with White Amber, a firm that has developed patent-pending technology and a Web-enabled, enterprise-wide, end-to-end paperless solution that automates the Temporary staffing process. These eProcurement solutions represent significant benefits for our Clients in terms of service quality, productivity, and cost savings. [Click for More]

It has been our experience that skills alone do not guarantee on-the-job success. What steps do you take to ensure that an Associate is placed in an environment in which he or she will thrive?

At Unique Advantage, we pay particular attention to other subtle, yet equally important factors that other placement agencies often overlook. For example, we recognize that variations in work style play a major role in on-the-job success. We have developed a Work Style Guide that helps us to examine the critical "fit" factors that enable us to place our Associates in the work environments where they are most likely to succeed. As a result of our careful research and planning, our retention rate is several times the industry average. [Click for More]
