Loop Human Resource Advisors, an Augusta-based staffing and recruiting firm, is celebrating its one year anniversary! Loop offers a full range of human resource services including professional recruitment, contingent staffing, and HR Advisory services. “Our primary goal is to take the work off our client’s desk and put it on ours. We look at each client individually and tailor our approach based on their needs,” explains Co-Founder Jason Kennedy.

Loop will be kicking off its one-year anniversary celebration with an appearance on the Buzz on Biz radio show at 12:45 pm on April 13 and a ribbon cutting later in the month at its office located off of Interstate Parkway. A newly designed website is also being released the week of the company’s anniversary at www.looprecruiting.com. The site will feature an all-new career portal optimized for mobile users.

Loop was founded by Charlie Wall Sr., Charlie Wall Jr., and Jason Kennedy. Wall’s father, Charlie Wall Sr. serves in an advisory and business development capacity, while his son Charlie   and Jason Kennedy oversee the day to day operations of the company. The three were joined in October 2015 by Donald King. Donald brings nearly ten years of project management and technology consulting experience to the team.

Co-Founder Charlie Wall said of the milestone, “Our first year in business has been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work.  We knew going in that we would have to face challenges but for the most part we’ve been very lucky.  We found success quickly and have built on that over the last year.  We’re very proud that we’ve made it a year as a small business and are very excited about year two and beyond.”

The entrepreneurial spirit runs strong in the founders’ families. “This is something that we’ve both always wanted to do. It was a big decision to leave our corporate jobs and step out on our own.  Aside from that, our experience and skill set was a perfect marriage and most importantly, the time was right,” said Wall.

Loop credits its first-year success to one goal - 100% client satisfaction. From filling a high level, hard to fill position to helping clients work through simple HR issues, the Loop team wants the client to be happy with their work.  Every employee holds themselves to a high standard and that shows in the process and results.  

The company’s strong focus on technology and IT differentiates it from other local firms. “Our approach is very different from other larger companies in the area because we don’t have layers of personnel working with a client.  You will deal with one single point of contact throughout the process, from start to finish.  We’ve taken the job description of your typical recruiter and redefined it,” explained Kennedy.

Over the past year, Loop has helped numerous businesses with staffing and recruiting, talent analytics, compensation studies, HR policy review, succession planning, and training and development. Loop has also helped a variety of clients streamline their recruiting strategy by utilizing new software and best practices.  

“We are really excited to help more businesses in the area,” said Kennedy.  “Augusta is growing and we want to help accelerate that growth.  There is a lot of talent in Augusta and it’s important that we help our local friends and neighbors when these new companies come to town.  It’s extremely rewarding when we find the perfect match between a candidate and company.  We know that we’re changing someone’s life with every offer we extend.”
