HISTORY OF FIRM

Ad-VANCE opened in 1995 and quickly became a local leader in temporary staffing and recruiting services. By 2000 Ad-VANCE had expanded into the Sarasota market and had developed exclusive and primary vendor relationships with the area’s best employers. We are proud to list Pasco County Government, Sarasota County Government, Manatee County Government, Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, State College of Florida, City of Bradenton and City of North Port amongst others as key references.

 

Ad-VANCE Recruiting LLC was formed in 2013 to focus on increased opportunities for Professional and Executive Search, and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services.

 

In addition, Hospitality Associates was formed in 2014 to focus on the hospitality and event staffing needs of the Gulf coast marketplace and has quickly become the industry leader. Michael’s on East, IMG, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles, and Saks off Fifth are prime examples of our great client base.
