"Recently I found myself in need of someone to oversee Human
Resources while I
conducted a search for a new Human Resources Manager. Pete Allvin was brought to
my attention and he stepped in immediately to provide coverage. We were undergoing a
period of rapid growth during Pete’s six-plus months with us. He increased our hourly
workforce by over 50% including fully staffing a new second shift. Through selective screening,
he drastically reduced employee turnover, a problem that had been plaguing us for some
time. Because of his experience, he was able to notice general HR matters that needed
attention and resolve these issues with a minimal amount of guidance.
Pete also was instrumental in a total revamping of our benefit program including recommending
benefit improvements, broker selection, conducting employee meetings, enrollment and
setting up self-billing programs. I treated Pete as a member of my staff and relied on his input
in all Human Resources matters. Our employees quickly took to Pete and felt
comfortable dealing with him. Pete became a friend and one whom I will continue to rely on as
the need arises. I am certain that if given the opportunity he would provide any employer with
a high level of dedicated, friendly and professional service."
Edward C. Randall,
Chief Operating Officer

"Peter is an ethical Human Resources professional. He can talk to the chairman of the
board or the shop floor worker with equal ease. He can assimilate the company culture
and operate within those parameters seamlessly. When given a task, he will ask
questions to clarify objectives, timetables and budgetary considerations, and get the
task done. What he can’t accomplish himself, be it a resource or timing issue, Peter
calls upon his wealth of resources and the network connections he has built over the
years to get the mission accomplished. The objective is completed in a
quality fashion and on time."
William J. Vasas,
Human Resources Manager

"Pete Allvin was assigned to my plant to develop a job evaluation program for both hourly and salaried employees. Pete quickly went to work and
developed descriptions and pay ranges which will prove to be valuable tools in
our overall Human Resources program. He also pointed out pay issues that he felt were important for my review. If you are looking for a professional, thorough and
friendly Human Resources consultant, you should consider the services of Pete
Allvin."

as a Human Resources Consultant for my Company. My department was expanding and
Pete helped me refine our screening process resulting in not only filling all open requisitions

of discipline and counseling. Pete was “on-the-floor” a great deal and quickly
gained the respect and confidence of my employees. I’m confident that Pete
would be an asset to any employer looking for help in the Human Resources area."
