We lost our HR Director and chose to work with Achilles Group instead of re-hiring. They truly understand our business and our needs .They're plugged into our business and handle the various situations that arise. They're a valuable HR resource for our managers, and offer cost-effective executive-level expertise.
My favorite thing about Achilles Group is their responsiveness. Willie's is a very hands-on organization, and we appreciate the same in our partners. I've been pleased with their willingness to jump right in and get back with me quickly when I need an immediate response. We communicate well. They are open to suggestions and listen objectively and then we develop solutions as a team.

Achilles Group has been our HR department for the last 3 years, and helped us grow from 400 to 600 employees. Our managers can focus on running their restaurants, knowing that they are supported by an experienced HR department. They know how to apply HR to the restaurant business and save us time. Achilles Group is an integral part of our team.

Few firms understand the unique HR issues restaurateurs face. Achilles Group not only has that restaurant experience, but they have more experience than anyone else we interviewed. Achilles Group allows us to focus on our restaurants, while they focus on our HR infrastructure. They manage our HR infrastructure with the focus on our operational needs because they understand operations drive our profitability. They are an asset to us, and are a key part of our growth strategy.

The Achilles Group has provided Pentagroup with the executive level HR expertise we need to take our company to the next level. With over 350 employees in two large collection center locations, managing our people to achieve high levels of performance is a challenging task. The Achilles group gives our management team a solid support system and helps us navigate through some of the most difficult HR issues. Outsourcing the HR Director function to the Achilles group has turned out to be a great return on our investment.

We didn't realize how much potential for improvement existed until we partnered with Achilles. They used our Corporate Objectives as the cornerstone of our Human Resource strategy. The implementation of our strategy and Human Resource best practices as recommended by Achilles has provided increased accountability amongst our managers, improved employee moral and greater insulation from legal threats.

Achilles provided PCCA with the knowledge to guide us through the development of our personnel handbook and counseled us on HR compliance issues for several years. Most recently we have outsourced our entire HR function to Achilles with stellar results. We now have Achilles’ professional staff on-site to manage our HR issues day-to-day. I could not be more pleased with the superb service and expertise that we receive from Achilles. Our Achilles liasion is integrated with our company and culture and operates as a “key” member of our team. She is a fabulous representative of PCCA and Achilles. I’d say I’m a raving fan!

Achilles Group has provided HR consulting and administrative assistance to Precision Task Group for 8 months. In this time we have made our HR department electronic as well as implemented an Affirmative Action Plan. Achilles has provided us with business processes and best practices for HR which we in turn put in a new employee handbook. Achilles’ service has been stellar and has been instrumental in PTG’s growth and success.

One example of Achilles, and specifically, your team’s quick and professional response saved us much time and resource would be the replacement process of our Controller. The expertise of you and your team made what I anticipated to be a very time consuming and costly event into a simple and effective recruiting and screening process. While difficult to objectively determine a specific amount of time and resource saved, your and Achilles Group performance had a huge impact!

O’Rourke Petroleum is a growing company and we’re facing all the challenges that come with it. In particular, it’s important that we’re the best at how we manage our existing and new employees. Over the past few months, Achilles Group has helped us review where we are and what we need to do to improve. Their process is well defined and it’s made it easy for our organization to make improvements quickly. Much of the work they’ve done thus far is the blocking and tackling of HR but it’s exactly what we need right now. Once we’ve got our core processes in place, I’m confident that Achilles will help us achieve our goal of being the “Employer of Choice” in our industry.

We experienced a claim of sexual harassment from an employee. Needless to say, this was a very delicate situation and one that we had not encountered before. Our Achilles rep, Stan Spaulding, immediately responded with advice for us on how to handle, and then took an active role in communicating with the parties involved. He worked with us to make sure appropriate actions were taken. In our case, there was an amicable solution and both parties have remained with the company in contributing roles.

Our challenge was boosting employee morale. The Achilles Group conducted an employee survey assessing our corporate environment and from their findings we have been able to implement changes that have tremendously helped boost morale. The Achilles team provides an accessible knowledge base to guide our management team through complicated HR issues.
