In a world of one-size-fits-all staffing companies, Staffing Partners stands above the rest. This is in large part to Brian Fricker, the company’s President, who takes the word ‘partners’ to heart. Brian believes in the power of genuine conversation, practical solutions, and building relationships that last. With every facet of his role, he turns client challenges into unique staffing solutions, transforming business interactions into trusted friendships. Here’s what Brian had to say about his valued clients.
When you call Staffing Partners, it’s not just business. It’s personal.
Here’s how I see it: when you become our client, you’re not just a line item, you’re a friend. And if you let us, we’ll do everything in our power to come through for you.
“If it’s achievable, we’ll make it happen”
As a one of the most successful staffing companies in Wisconsin, we don’t just fill positions. We create solutions to make your job easier. Whether that involves finding workers with special skills, or just a dependable headcount that will work hard, we’re on it. If it’s achievable, we’ll make it happen.
Starting With a Conversation
I believe great staffing starts really listening to our clients. I’m not pushing a package. I’m asking questions. What’s the situation? What’s keeping you up at night? Where are you feeling the pinch? I want to understand exactly what’s happening so I can put my decades of experience to work for you.
Sometimes the solutions are simpler than you’d think. We once had a food processing client that was losing good employees regularly. The issue? Steel-toed boots. Workers hated them because they were uncomfortable and clunky. They made shifts unpleasant, causing turnover and morale problems.
While other staffing agencies might have shrugged and said, “deal with it,” we decided to get creative. We partnered with Shoes for Crews, supplying workers with comfortable slip-ons that met all safety standards. Employee satisfaction improved quickly, turnover rates dropped, and productivity climbed steadily.
It’s little details like this that make all the difference in keeping a workforce happy, stable, and productive. And when called upon, we think through solutions like this for every client. It’s what a friend would do.
“We see our clients’ relief, and it’s all worth it.”
Transportation: We Don’t Just Find Workers, We Deliver Them
Years ago, we noticed a glaring problem that nobody seemed eager to tackle: workers couldn’t reliably get to remote job sites. The local public transportation network just wasn’t cutting it. People wanted to work, and employers needed them—but there was a gap.
We could’ve said, “That’s not our problem.” Instead, we bought a van and started delivering our workers right to their jobs. One van quickly turned into two, then five, then twenty. Today, we run a fleet of 40 vans. We even have our own mechanic shop, ensuring every vehicle is DOT-certified, safe, and dependable.
It’s a big investment, no doubt. But every time our workers arrive on-time and ready to go, we see our clients’ relief, and it’s all worth it. That’s solving real business challenges and going the extra mile, not just supplying workers and checking a box. We’ll never just go through the motions.
Technology That Actually Helps You
Let’s face it, the staffing industry has a reputation of being stuck in the past. Not us – we’re going to use technology to your advantage. At Staffing Partners, we keep it simple. We use tech not to complicate things, but to make your staffing process smoother and faster.
Over time, we’ve been implementing solutions like paperless onboarding and automated time clocks. No more piles of forms or stacks of paper. Your workers are ready quicker, cutting down the time between agreement and arrival. No matter how sophisticated our systems get, they won’t be flashy. They’ll be practical. And they’ll work.
“We’ll be honest with you all the way through. We’ll figure this out.”
Big or Small—We Solve Them All
We don’t shy away from urgent or challenging requests. In fact, we thrive on them. Recently, a major food production client urgently needed 120 workers within just days. Others might’ve balked, but for us, this is precisely the puzzle we love. We immediately tapped into our extensive candidate network, communicating via rapid-response mass texting and personalized phone outreach. Faster than you’d think, we successfully filled every slot, ensuring uninterrupted production.
Some companies aren’t sure what’s possible, or perhaps they’ve been overpromised elsewhere. If you call us, we’ll be honest with you all the way through. We’ll figure this out.
Not Just Clients, But Friends
No matter how big we get, we’ll never see ourselves as your typical staffing company. And you’re certainly not just another client to us. You’re a friend, a partner, and someone we genuinely care about. Many of our business relationships have lasted decades because they are built on trust, straightforward communication, and a mutual respect for hard work.
I like to say, if you call me at 7 a.m. on a rough Monday, I’m picking up the phone. That’s not a sales pitch; it’s a promise. Because to us, staffing isn’t just about placing people, it’s about creating real solutions that help your business run better.
Let’s Solve Your Staffing Needs
When you’re ready for staffing solutions that go beyond cookie-cutter, let’s talk. Start with your toughest challenge, or ten of them. We want to hear it. Whether it’s flexible workforce needs, transportation logistics, or something as seemingly unsolvable as uncomfortable boots, we’re here for it. There’s nothing we haven’t heard before. And if you do surprise us with something new, we’ll figure that out too.
Genuine care for our clients is just how we do business. We don’t know any other way.
