We’re In This Together
We’re In This Together… Wisconsin’s unemployed hit the 2.9% level. This suggests that we are close to or past the point where there are simply too few looking for positions. That obviously makes our job of helping you fill your open spots more difficult. It also stands to reason that candidates will expect more in…
Read MoreA Good Interview & A Not-So-Good Interview…There Is a Difference
A good interview & a not-so-good interview…there is a difference. You have worked diligently to secure an interview for a new job. You have made sure your appearance is that of an employee who has good cleanliness, pride in his or her appearance, and a real interest in making a good impression as the interview…
Read MoreAttitude Gains Altitude
Your attitude will determine your altitude. Our own Marquette University Law School conducted a poll recently asking what people thought about the economy going forward.

Read MoreNew WFA Staffing Website
If you’re reading this, chances are good that you have already interacted with the new WFA Staffing website. New website designs are always, it seems, great for a while and then they tail off on the excitement scale to ‘same old, same old’.This new website, developed for us by Cultivate Communications, will take longer for most of…
Read MoreCost of New Employees
There is a usual rate of increase in the cost of new employees as anyone in business understands. We are, obviously, in a situation today where that increase is greater than it has been in the recent past. Business in general is on the uptick. Certain types of people with certain backgrounds are in even…
