The recruiting function is a big improvement for us. We encourage all job applicants to apply through the career portal. As we have multiple locations and divisions, having all our talent coming into one pool is great.”
Athina Tzakas
I believe Avanti is the best HR and Payroll solution in the country and it fully supports the needs of the thousands of colleagues that we employ.
Shirley Elliot
Because Avanti is so efficient at processing payroll, our payroll administrators don’t have to do a whole bunch of data entry anymore. They’re actually able to run the payroll and do some analysis… instead of just running to get it out the door.
