“MAU’s structured co-op program created a supermarket of diverse candidates with proven experience. This supermarket produced higher caliber entry-level, exempt hires, and led to decreased recruiting costs. MAU’s management of the program freed my staff to work on core functions and strategy. This is truly a value-added program.”

“MAU significantly contributes to the success of a business by improving efficiency, fostering innovation, solving problems collaboratively, promoting continuous learning, enhancing communication, and providing support and accountability for each other, ultimately giving leaders peace of mind knowing that MAU is capable and reliable.”

“From a cost standpoint, MAU is very reliable at managing costs to or below the standards we agreed upon and keeping us from surprises. The leadership team is always willing to go the extra mile to support us and to help us manage costs, including suggesting new ways to help avoid or reduce costs.”

“I value the MAU organization as a competitive advantage for our mill. We have a strong partnership that goes well beyond a third-party labor solution.”

“I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!”

“The Part-Time Program (PTA) has provided BMW and Associates with the flexibility to increase headcount when needed without the burden of long-term waste. Additionally, it has allowed MAU to recruit from a pipeline of qualified candidates who typically would not have been available.”

“MAU has been a key strategic partner in our recruiting strategy. We tasked them with an exceptionally challenging project, requiring an enterprise-wide implementation, tight timelines, and volume – they consistently delivered.“

“MAU was more than a preferred vendor; they were a true partner, deeply invested in our success. While our main project with MAU has concluded, their impact was so valuable that we’ve already brought them back for another hiring project, a testament to the trust and confidence we have in their ability to deliver results.“
