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.

Marshia Loucks Vice President of Finance I WSi

“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.”
