[,a¡,,(a 7¡$',9 3:5;93::1.0 PROVEN RESULTS To Whom lt May Concern: Thank you for allowing me to refer 1st Employment Staffing to your company as a viable answer for your temporary staffing needs During the past 3 years in my capacity as the Public Works Maintenance Supervisor for the City of Bentonville, I have worked with three dífferent local staffing companies for a period of oné year. As a result of our bid award each company had the exclusive rights to our staffing needs for that year during which time they were responsible for providing up to 30 workers daily and often on short notice. Prlor to this year I would say that each of the other local companies did an adequate job with only a few minor mistakes. lt was only after working wiih 1st Employment this year that I realized the height of customer service a company could reach. Their pool of employees is big:enough to meet our challenges and the in-service/training prior to reporting to us far exceeded other staffing companies. Our liaisons with 1st Employment have never failed to check on attendance and are constantly monitoring our rate of satisfaction. lf they need to make any adjustments - they do so immediatelyl I would say withoui hesitation that they live up to their motto and deservedly rate the highest of referrals.
