What the big names advertise, and what their participants post, are two different numbers.

Their brochures say 92 to 98 percent satisfied. The public reviews written by the people who actually went through their programs tell a different story. Both are on the record. Only one of them is told to your face.

We put our public rating on the same chart, because honest and transparent is the whole operating model here: live dashboards, exportable audit logs, and reviews we let our participants write.

We started on a factory floor, not in a procurement portal.

FirstSourceTeam was founded in 2006, helping people land on their feet when the Ford Twin Cities plant closed. Twenty years and more than 100,000 people helped later, we are still family owned, still independent, and still measured by the only number that matters: whether your people land well and say so.

Outplacement is not a line of business we bolted onto a staffing empire. It is the business.

You never pay for empty seats.

If a participant declines services, you get a refund. Nobody quietly pockets the seat, and nobody you paid for walks away with nothing.

Automatic. No claim form, no negotiation, no fine print.

Their commitment to my success is truly exceptional.

From our public Google reviews

Reviews like hers are what people write when the support is real. When your former employees write them, that is your employer brand being rebuilt at the exact moment it is most exposed, and it is the outcome you are actually buying.
