People Trust us
Bill and Chris bring a unique value proposition to Avionte and to our clients – they are staffing industry experts that have owned and operated a successful, high volume staffing business. This is a key differentiator as they are intimately aware of the complexities, challenges, and opportunities of running a thriving staffing enterprise. They are experts at leveraging technology to drive efficiencies and productivity in their client’s businesses. They are a trusted partner that I can whole heartily recommend.
The experience and insight Bill and Chris brought to our ATS evaluation process and implementation plan were incredibly valuable. They both offer many years of hands-on experience leading a successful staffing company. They understood our challenges and our operating reality and were able to quickly propose suggestions and guidance on navigating the process for a successful outcome. Outside of our ATS process, SVP also introduced us to a number of strategic partners to further enhance our business and operations.
“The most valuable asset Bill and his team at SVP brought to our Avionte conversion project was the ability to leverage an outside 3rd party with intimate knowledge and expertise regarding what the software could do, and not do. In addition, their ability to assist with buttoning up of our processes and procedures helped to ensure that no stones were left uncovered. In short, this experienced cemented our ability to get to the conversion go live date on time and on budget.”
Bill and Chris at SVP have been a trusted partner for my staffing business, Synergy Employment Group. They have assisted me on key projects such as technology selection and vetting, implementation support and financial analysis, budgeting, and bonus programs. When I was in desperate need of a payroll solution, SVP introduced me to a provider that exceeded my expectations. The counsel I receive from Bill and Chris is straightforward and they always have my best interests at heart. I highly recommend SVP!
