A few words from clients include:

County Procurement Official

“Acro helps us better understand the contract labor market, and with their single point of contact for the entire County, they have eliminated the silo approach we used to have and helped us build institutional knowledge. With the success of this new centralized, single point of contact approach, we are moving most (if not all) of our contract labor personnel ordering, time reporting, and billing to the new online Acro XRM System. This will simplify the management of the program immensely for the County.”

Procurement Director, Government Official

“We are utilizing the temporary staffing contract awarded to Acro. Under the Acro contract, pay ranges are established, and markup rates are already negotiated. The markups are less than our previous competitively solicited contract, saving us money, and Acro was willing to reach out to our local vendors to establish contracts with facilities in the local area. For us this was a real win.

“I personally just used their services for the first time, and I was very pleased with the selection of candidates that were submitted.”
