Employer Testimonials

We are writing you to express our sincere appreciation for the help we received during our Aldi hiring process from the folks at Polk Works / WorkForce 2020. They are an extremely professional group and clearly h eads and shoulders above any staffing team we have come into contact with across the country in our 20+ years with Aldi. Polk Works / WorkForce 2020 was invaluable to our entrance into the Florida market.

Earlier this year, Paula Bohnstedt and Kathy Suttles approached Cellynne Corp. with an opportunity to engage in an exclusive recruiting partnership. It is with great pleasure that I share with you that our partnership with Polk Works has paid off, been successful and remarkable for my company. We have saved work and time not only advertising through them but letting them qualify the candidates according to our criteria, referring only qualified personnel to us.

There is a word to describe the whole staff of Polk Works, and that is OUTSTANDING. They are part of the success of our company and we look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come as Cellynne continues its growth in Haines City and contributes to Polk County’s economy in the form of jobs, competitive pay and quality of life.
