For POTENTIAL Clients:

Because we know how to run our own company, very successfully, in a highly competitive business.

At Champion we have planned and executed our own highly successful business plan (Weatherhead 100 Award Winner, 44 years in business, NE Ohio Business Success Award, Level II Drug Free Workplace, ISO 9001:2000 WORLD CLASS repeatable quality, multiple offices, 24/7 REAL customer service, in-house training facility).

And…we have serviced over 7,000 NE Ohio Corporations from the very smallest, to the very largest. We have filled over 2,500,000 interim and interim to direct assignments and over 60,000 direct hire assignments. We fulfill needs for one person for a day to over 100 on an ongoing basis.

We have built a company based on the simple strategy of being the best in our profession in NE Ohio…for our clients.

Our Managers are required to be part of our corporate planning strategy. We have aligned ourselves with the best business minds and HR minds in North East Ohio and have many of those on our own staff and board of directors.

We are sophisticated enough to have a CPA as our CFO, a president who has been in HR and with major corporations and president/ board member of large state and national multi-member professional trade organizations.

We employ thousands of people right here in NE Ohio. We are ISO Certified, a Drug Free Level II Workplace, we have our own superior benefits plan and an in-house OSHA/ Workers’ Compensation claims department and have an ultra low staff turnover rate.

We are not “an employment agency”. With our success we have earned the right to be called a “Successful Staffing Service”.

We are able to help you because we are able to run our own business very successfully.

Our Capabilities:

Interim (Temporary) Staffing.: One day to indefinite time frame.

Interim To Direct Hire: “Trial” hire. Easy and painless early conversion to your payroll or extended on ours.

Contract: Time or specified results, or project basis or “Project to Direct Hire”. Mostly for technical or interim management level.

Direct Hire. On your payroll the day a person begins work. A fee is charged at that time.

Unbundled Services:

Sourcing Only: We identify qualified candidate to your specifications and turn their information over to you. We do cursory interviews, but do not act as a selling or closing agent. We do however assure that there is enough interest to proceed.

Interviewing Only: Candidates are found by various methods. Champion conducts initial interviews, in person or phone, to do screening and OBJECTIVE interest discovery and qualifying. Candidates will typically tell a recruiter different and more honest information than their ‘future boss’. This is a real timer-saver for busy HR professionals.

Background and Drug Testing. We use and offer extensive, proven methods. If you do not have an account with a reputable backgound firm or testing lab, you will find this the way to go.

Payrolling. Our clients make extensive use of our payroll services rather than put a new hire on their own payroll. It is the best way to do your own “Interim to Direct Hire” without opening yourself to the “Microsoft-Type Lawsuits” that have plagued employes who attempt to do their own Interim To Direct hiring (and there are MANY, MANY more reasons to do hiring through the payrolling function).

Consulting: Champion’s Senior Executives have more HR and Talent Acquisition Experience than the vast majority of HR departments in companies and most HR consulting firms. We are capable of Safety Consulting, Hiring Method Preparation, Job Descriptions, Ad campaigns, Total Recruitment Systems design and confidential evaluations. We are also partnered with prestigious local universities and an extensive list of professional HR and Business Consultants, HR Legal Representation, Injury Claims Professionals whom we know well and use for their specific expertise on issues where even Champion may need specific assistance. Not calling Champion first when you have a project is the same thing as ignoring your law firm when you have a legal issue.

Specialized Services:

Large Project Staffing:  Many employers who are wary of “too many eggs in one basket” will call several staffing services to handle large projects. Champion has been involved in these and is always the provider that ‘bails out’ the other staffing firms who cannot support their own part of the project except in their sales pitch.
Champion is more than capable of Staffing Larger Projects in short time frames. Our 5 offices, all working as a team with one point contact, can do more than 15 separate staffing services, with far less communication hassles and one customized bill. We are a preferred provider for the Cleveland Convention and Visitors Bureau and regularly handle complex, multi-day, multi-function, variable level staffing assignments for their customers. We have tested and certified forklift operators on call approved by and members (ex-officio) of the trades unions that control the IX center. We are also experts at providing administrative and greeting help for large projects and large numbers of qualified and screened people for projects that are not convention-oriented.

Many of these larger projects happen during the weekends. Champion functions on a 24/7/365 basis, including management, so days and hours are of no concern to us. Your project is.

Large Numbers of Interim Workers Needed NOW. Or by tomorrow morning at the latest. We get these calls on FRIDAY NIGHTS! (Hi, we’re ABC Company, we realize it is 8:00 Friday Night, could you get 30 qualified, drug tested, screened people to report for work tomorrow (Saturday) at 6:00 in the morning?). Our simple answer is “YES we can, we have and we will”. It is one of the many reasons that our best clients have fired their Large International staffing firms and Hired Champion: we’re available 24/7 and because we are an entrepreneurial company, time of day/ day of the week is not part of our thinking. Only your satisfaction is. Our staff is chosen based upon their commitment to their career and to our clients, not their desire to be left alone after hours.

Managed Staffing: Champion can take over and conduct all interviewing, hiring and payrolling of all your employee hires, departments and campaigns. We can hold open houses, talent acquisition campaigns, single staffing events and ongoing staffing needs on site or off…full time or part time.

On Site: Full or part time presence at your location to handle the entirety of staffing as though we were one of your staff. You don’t need the international staffing service to handle it.

Remember, Champion has been awarded Weatherhead 100  Fastest Growing NE Ohio Business Awards in 2005 and 2006 (and we should be in 2007), we are ISO 9001:2000 World Class Quality Management System Certified, a Winner of the North East Ohio Business Success Award for conducting a planned and managed business, Level II Certied Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace by OBWC, Awarded by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation for Safety Improvement, and have been recruited for numerous other business awards and recognitions.

Our founder and our current president have served as the presidents of ALL our recognized local, state and national trade associations. We have led our peers.

Not even the large International and Regional staffing firms have achieved what Champion has achieved nor are they as experienced at business management as Champion.

If we can manage our own business better than anyone else, shouldn’t we be able to assist you?
