Big or small, we help businesses grow and become visible.

As a growing window treatment company, we were frustrated by all the inefficiencies and bottlenecks in our recruiting process. It was taking up so much time while delivering poor results. We knew we needed help to fix our process.

That’s when Andrea mentioned the aha! Talent Experts TalentRight program. It provides a customized solution focused on eliminating time suck activities and creating structured, optimized recruiting workflows.

Our TalentRight Consultant conducted an in-depth evaluation of our current process to identify trouble spots like repetitive administrative tasks, lack of automation, and inconsistent communication. She worked closely with us to map out an ideal workflow using the right mix of technology, templates, and best practices tailored to our needs.

The streamlined process she built for us has been a gamechanger. We’ve seen dramatic time savings that allow our team to focus on other activities.

I highly recommend the TalentRight program to any organization looking to establish recruiting excellence.”

aha! Talent Experts is AMAZING!!! They helped me find two great employees late last year. They are such a great culture fit and my whole team adores them, which is the most important element to me. I am in awe of the professional system they set up for finding your next outstanding employee. I didn’t have to spend my precious time sorting through resumes and qualifying people for interviews. If they got through Andrea they were good enough for me to meet with. THANK YOU!!!!!

Michelle McFarland – CEO

Working with aha! Talent Experts helped our company learn how to hire and keep the right employees.

aha! Talent Experts truly does provide what every business owner needs! Andrea helped me recognize the strengths and blind spots of my selling style. aha’s approach is interactive and effective. Andrea provided me with some fabulous coaching on the best way to communicate effectively to different styles. They invest 100% of themselves into helping their clients ; their thoroughness, attention to detail and ability to see the big picture enable them to help others in a unique manner. You know you are in the presence of an insightful coach when you can learn about yourself, feel good about who you are and be excited about building your skill set. I highly recommend Andrea and aha!

GetFit Retreats

aha! Talent Experts provided training for the university board that I manage. The board members’ evaluations of the session were all positive, indicating that Andrea’s DiSC training contributed both to their personal development and also to the growth of the group as a whole. Andrea is a highly skilled facilitator who persisted in challenging the group members to really listen to one another and to take lessons away from the experience. Her individual work with me as the group’s facilitator provided deep insights and concrete strategies that I can use well into the future. My group is already asking when they can come back to work with us again!

Pierrette Maillet, Director of Alumni Relations

Atlanta International School

I have participated in three different DiSC studies with AHA and each one has exceeded my expectations. Andrea is a great facilitator. Her passion for the subject matter combined with her outstanding interpersonal skills allows her to effectively engage even the most introverted participants. The results from each of the sessions I’ve participated in have helped the teams function more effectively. I would highly recommend Andrea Hoffer Associates to any organization seeking to improve the communication between or productivity of their team.

Bill Pridge, Senior Director of Finance & Operations

AU/UGA Medical Partnership

My management team and I had an amazing experience with the Andrea and her DISC program! My business strategy is only effective if it is executed well and my strategy can only be executed well if my management team is on the same page. Working with Andrea helped align my team and helped us kick off the year on a positive note.

We recently used Andrea’s recruitment service after two unsuccessful experiences with a large, national organization. The process she uses is comprehensive and generates important information about the applicant. We hired the first candidate Andrea recommended for an interview and so far so good!!!!

As Red Banyan has grown and accelerated our hiring, the recruitment assistance from AHA! has been truly invaluable. AHA!’s pre-hire assessments have become a standard part of our hiring process, providing a new level of insight into candidates before they even come in for an interview. Andrea and her team are responsive, professional and easy to work with. They have saved us time and money by helping with the hiring so that we can focus on our core business, which is delivering results for our clients.

Evan Nierman, Founder and CEO

Red Banyan

Andrea helped us with our recruitment efforts for a new and unique front-line employee position. She brought an effective and efficient approach to finding and screening candidates. Additionally, we learned a great deal from the group interview process that she coordinated and facilitated. It was great way to assess multiple candidates simultaneously and get a strong read on each candidate’s fit for the role and the company culture. I highly recommend Andrea and her approach to recruiting!

Asoka Veeravagu, VP of Product & Experience

Refraction AI

Andrea has worked with us on several different aspects of our small business. She revamped our sales process and provided our team with the training necessary to implement the entire process: from customer interaction to tracking. As a result, our sales have been steadily growing. Sales growth led to the need for more staff! Andrea introduced us to the group interview process, lead an interview and trained us on how to hold the interviews ourselves. Using this process, we were able to identify and hire a highly qualified candidate for our sales position. I highly recommend Andrea’s services. Not only are her processes effective, but she is very responsive, supportive and understands the unique challenges of business ownership. – Heather Veeravagu, Senior Project Coordinator, Salt Station
AHA! helped to create and document a hiring process that we consistently use to hire and on-board grant writers and customer service team members.

Andrea has helped us source a handful of candidates who are doing a great job for our company. She is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Thank you Andrea for all your help.

Eric Hoffer, Owner

Hoffer Pest Solutions

Andrea has done a wonderful job for us. So professional, understanding, diligent and knowledgeable. She took the time to get to know us, our culture and values so she fully understand our day and what is important. Additionally she asked about our clients, what is needed for them and how we work with them. It was great to have someone take the time to get to know us before she began her search. We are very pleased with the results and as a business owner, this is tremendous. I would recommend Andrea for your talent and culture hiring. Great experience.

I have run a mobile dance studio for 36 years and thought I knew what I was doing when it came to hiring. It took an experience when I wasted time, money and energy hiring the wrong executive assistant to convince me that I did not. Andrea Hoffer of AHA! Business Consulting not only helped me to build a fabulous career site, but was able to extract my true values, company culture and a REAL job description. Andrea walked me though step by step designed perfect interview questions, offered cost cutting advertising tips, and gave me a hiring strategy for my hiring needs now and in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrea for the hiring needs of any company regardless of size. She is thorough, responsive and a true professional.

Jeannette Sermak, Owner/Director

Plaza Production One Mobile Dance Studio

I would highly recommend using Andrea. The software she uses is effective and efficient—great assessments and templates. I typically would’ve spent 60-80 hours+ on hiring someone for the two positions . . . and I only spent around 12 hours (which was primarily on the final interviews which were at my shop and in person for 2-3 hours). She is really responsive and available for questions and a joy to work with.

Roxanna Meyers, President

Century Sign Builders

After rushing into a couple of hiring decisions that ended up not working out, I realized I needed help attracting an employee who would slide into our culture seamlessly and contribute a new set of skills to our team from day one. Andrea made the entire hiring process so easy for us. She worked with my team and helped us dig deep and figure out what we really needed, not just what we thought we were looking for. Then she helped us find the perfect candidate. She asked the right questions to weed out the wrong candidates during the first round of phone interviews, only sending me the best candidates which allowed me to focus all my energy on talking to the people who had the greatest potential to be successful on my team long-term. She even helped us determine what to offer and helped us negotiate with the candidate we chose. We could not be happier with the services Andrea’s team provided, and we are thrilled with the person we ended up hiring as a result of her process!

Stephanie Nivinskus

Fractional CMO and Marketing Consultant

I can’t say enough about the awesome hiring experience I had working with Andrea and her team at AHA! It saved us so much time and we found three amazing candidates that not only have the skillsets for the job but are a great fit for our company. We will be using AHA for a long time to build the BEST NCN Team! Thank you, Andrea and AHA!

Sharon Muniz

NCN Technology

I can highly recommend Andrea and her team. We hired them to help us hire for a newly created position. Not only did they know how to guide me on how best to describe the position and ideal candidate… but they thoroughly screened candidates and saved me TONS of time by only introducing the candidates most qualified for the position. The skill level and professionalism of everyone they sent our way were top notch. They have a method that is both tailored and thorough – and they’re clearly committed to getting results for business owners that will propel us towards our goals!

Kathleen Keener, Owner

One Moon Doula Services

Andrea’s approach to supporting recruiting needs is both innovated and efficient. They have a streamlined process that delivers better quality candidates than typical internal approaches or even those of traditional recruiters. The Aha! team provides high quality support and is well able to locate the right candidates. What makes Andrea’s approach different is that they support a process – not just filling a job opening. By better understanding our needs – they were able to deliver a number of highly qualified candidates that we were pleased to hire.

Cheryl Jekiel, CEO

Lean Leadership Center

Andrea is certainly the go to expert when it comes to finding the right fit staff, leading them and managing them. She did a presentation to a group of culinary business owners that I coach and her information and teaching certainly shorted the whole process of hiring, changed our mindset and provided valuable insight as to what we as owners could do differently. Our whole presentation and finding her company as a resource has been an incredible tool to help all of our companies grow by finding the best fit people. This is so hard in the culinary industry. I am forever grateful.
