Success Story #1: Law Firm appreciates our quality

We have used TriStarr's services for approximately eight years for short-term temporary positions and permanent placements, as well as occasional skill assessments. I have enjoyed our business relationship for numerous reasons, but most notably because of the quality of the candidates that we receive from TriStarr.

I believe that this is due in large part to the efforts of Angie Hessen, the Staffing Specialist assigned to us. Angie does an excellent job obtaining all of the necessary basic information such as the skills sets needed for any given position, in addition to many of the less tangible items such as personality traits of both the candidate we believe would be best for the position and those of the people at our firm with whom the potential new hire will be working. Angie has also shown immense patience with us in our searches as we tend to be somewhat "particular" about who we hire, including those for our short-term temporary positions.

I have never hesitated to recommend TriStarr to other law firms and organizations who were in need of a good staffing service that keeps their eye on the clients' needs, and will continue to do so in the future.

Success Story #2: Investment Advisory Service staffs up with TriStarr

We've worked with TriStarr for 11 years; I believe 13 of our employees (out of a total staff of 25) came to us through you.

Kim has been our representative for the past 4-5 years - certainly long enough for us to come to value her expertise, timely response, intuition, and hard work. She knows our firm well, which means that a call for staffing is met with almost immediate response in terms of resumes and candidates. She works closely and carefully with all interviewees; invariably, as I ask during an interview what a candidate thinks of TriStarr, I receive positive feedback.

I know that Kim shares her job with Linda. Job-sharing can be tricky with countless opportunities for issues to slip between the cracks. This just doesn't happen with these women - they are well-organized and their service to us is seamless. I attribute this to Kim's competent organizational skills. She's a pleasure to work with and I can't imagine our firm without her helping hand.

Success Story #3: Community Bank experiences the TriStarr difference

This letter is so overdue that I am almost too embarrassed to write it now, especially since we at [Community] Bank have not been in need of the services of your fine company in the last few months. But as a wise person once said, better late than never.

During our five years as a young, independent bank, we have relied heavily upon the services provided by organizations such as TriStarr to meet our needs for temporary staffing, particularly in the area of quality secretarial skills. While I would like to say that we utilized your team from day one, that would not be true. Unfortunately for us, we began with a local competitor and only after a number of very disappointing results during our first year in business did I call TriStarr for help.

"Help" is not the word to describe what your team provides. "Superior Service" is a more descriptive term for the support that I personally received every time I needed temporary staff assistance. Joan, I know that you have built an organization of talented people willing to assist each other in delivering the superior service I mentioned, however, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you of the times I shared with you the professionalism and strong support I received from one specific member of your team, Angie Hessen.

Angie truly cares about each of her clients and works hard to listen to what we are really requesting so she is better able to meet that staffing need with the most qualified candidate available. She reaffirms the tasks needing to be accomplished, confirms the staff member has arrived and is performing to task, and requests feedback on the quality of the work performed when the scheduled work period is over. Her methods are second to none in the professional manner they are delivered and the caring manner evident in her voice and actions. What a gem of a person to have representing TriStarr.

I can tell you that there is not another name that comes to my mind when I am asked about which companies to turn to for staffing support, skill assessment and any other staffing related needs. TriStarr Staffing Solutions is not just a name with your team, it is a true indicator of what the client receives: Solutions. But more than that, it is the delivery of those solutions by a professional, personal, and team-oriented group of individuals who have caught your vision of SERVICE to others and deliver it daily.

Thank you Joan, Angie and the rest of the TriStarr team for caring about our needs. You are the BEST!!!

Success Story #4: Auto Auction comes to rely on TriStarr quality

We started utilizing TriStarr's services in December 2002 and have been extremely satisfied with the level of service and professionalism we have received from your organization.

Our original intentions, when starting with your organization back in 2002, were to help supplement our other agencies in meeting our temp needs. After a few recruits from TriStarr and seeing the high quality of candidates, we made the decision to use your agency solely for our clerical needs.

We primarily started out seeking temps, however, the temps seemed to exceed the supervisors/managers expectations and many of them have turned out to be successful additions to our team.

I must mention that we enjoy working closely with our Staffing Specialist, Angie Hessen. She has been very attentive to our needs and I trust her judgment in selecting the right candidates for the Manheim Auto Auction.

I look forward to our continued working relationship.

Success Story #5: Real Estate Investment Trust makes a point

Did I mention you guys are great? This is a fantastic company. You give us so much info and even set up our interview times..thanks!

Success Story #6: Hospitality venue understands the value of a great fit.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend you and TriStarr Services to the corporate community for recruitment needs. Our experience working with you to find a Chief Financial Officer was simple, efficient and, most important of all, resulted in a great hire for our company.

In our first interview together, you contended that corporate culture was your specialty and that finding a fit from a philosophical perspective was your expertise. For me that fit is the most important part of ensuring a new hire becomes a long term member of a corporate team.

In our case, I assumed the financial skills of the applicant were unquestionable. It was the opportunity to work with a business in the hospitality industry and have fun that mattered more to me in our search. You were extremely tuned in to that need and understanding when we chose to keep looking.

Also, working with our company can often be frustrating in that we make a lot of decisions by committee. You needed to weigh the comments of four people rather than just one. Juggling all those opinions can be challenging, even for me sometimes, but you did it with a smile, regular communication and a willingness to listen which made consensus possible.

I wish you the best in expanding the area of your operation with TriStarr Services. I would certainly recommend your services.

Success Story #7: Disaster restoration firm gets to know its people

This letter is in regard to your recent service on employee behavioral analysis. Though you provide many other employment services to us that we find helpful, this one has really made a difference in our firm.

As you know, we profiled 10 employees before pairing them up into teams. Your data not only helped us to make the right match, but it allowed these folks to better understand how they can work together more effectively. The best part though was the employee's acceptance of the process and how they actually found value in the task. I'm sure we all have a better understanding of each other, especially now that they know I can be a tough taskmaster (haha). Personally, I am glad I did this for myself. The insight you gain about who you are and how you'll be perceived as a leader helps me to keep my employees' needs top of mind. I was also quite pleased with the cost effectiveness of this service. I know Lucy will continue to use this tool in her HR role.

Thanks so much for doing this for us. I know our people really respected your ability in presenting the data because you are such a good communicator.

Success Story #8: Local Hospital chooses TriStarr as primary vendor

Our hospital and other affiliated companies of our healthcare system have been working with TriStarr since 1993. In January 2001, TriStarr was selected to be our primary vendor for clerical, administrative, and light industrial staffing services.

TriStarr provides staffing assistance of the following type:

• Data Entry Clerks
• Unit Clerks
• Secretaries / Executive Secretaries
• Billing & Customer Service Representatives
• Accounting Clerks & Assistants
• Legal Secretaries
• Transcriptionists
• Human Resources Assistants
• Switchboard Operators
• Couriers
• Laundry Workers
• Electricians
• Food Service Personnel

In 2004, TriStarr worked with us to evaluate the skills of current employees in the positions of administrative assistant, secretary and other clerical staff support. The skill assessment provides a basis for screening applicants, designing development programs for current staff and career advancement. Performance expectations and behavioral profiles were created for certain positions that both TriStarr and our internal staff use in screening applicants. The goal of the project is to improve job satisfaction, overall performance and career development while reducing turnover. This project is ongoing.

TriStarr's dedicated account managers, Kim Gibson, and Linda Rissmiller, as well as the whole TriStarr team provide excellent service and support.
