What Our Clients Say
I have worked with Premier HR Solutions for several years and their recruiting team definitely knows how to hire the best. She knows how to identify key talents when recruiting and locates the best candidates. Scholley provides more than recruitment services, she is a trusted partner who is always looking to find the best candidate, not just fill a position. If you need help with recruitment, whether it is for one or multiple positions, I would recommend contacting her.
Jared HolmanDirector of Human Resources, Pinnergy 
Being a startup, we couldn’t afford to make a single wrong hire! Scholley and Kristen were able to define the right profiles that would fit our development stage, identify, screen and recommend candidates within a short time frame. We also appreciated their follow up to ensure proper induction and integration… Exactly what we sought in true partners.

“Premier HR provided excellent and timely service to our company--developing our
employee handbook and selection practices and policies. Scholley’s engaging and
professional manner gave me the confidence that we were building the basis for a strong
organization."
Amy Heilman BrunoVice President, HyGIeaCare, Inc. 
“I've been working with Premier HR Solutions for close to a year. Throughout this process
I've grown tremendously both professionally and personally as well as promoted to our
company's Senior Leadership Team. Premier takes the time to get to know you personally
and find out about the workplace environment. They do not have a one size fits all
approach, and the program Premier worked out, both for myself and our company was
tailor-made for our culture & our goals. Most of all - although I can say concretely this
benefited my professional development, more than anything Premier has become a friend
- that's rare in business these days. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
William LaingVice President of Sales & Performance Excellence, Radiation Detiection CO

Premier HR Solutions have excelled in finding us a premium talent that has contributed to
my business growth. They have done a great job at sourcing and attracting quality
candidates for positions that are unique to my business and industry.”
Bryce YoungPresident, Warm Audio 
Having a trusted advisor is essential to me when managing the people side of the
business. Scholley and her team of human resource consultants provide me the expertise I
need to manage through employee relations issues and mitigate risk to my companies. Her
team has the experience and knowledge to inform and advise me and my management
team on employment issues while successfully keeping my culture intact.
Bobby DillardFounding Principal, Cielo Property Group 
“Premier HR is one of the best companies I have used to recruit top talent in both the
Austin market as well as nationally. Premier HR’s pricing is very competitive, often lower
than other recruiting firms in the area. My partnership with Premier HR has been critical
in the current tight labor market; they have placed 4 out of 6 critical positions at Arena
Solutions in the past 9 months. Kristen is great to work with and makes my job of hiring
top talent easy, she is my ‘go-to’ when I have a recruitment need.”
Erin TeterVice President of Human Resources, Arena 
“The Employee HR Hotline offered by Premier HR Solutions has been an incredibly helpful
tool for our small, but growing company. By providing this resource to our employees, we
have improved our company's culture of proactive problem solving and solution finding.
The hotline has also been a useful resource for our management team, in providing
objective guidance through challenging personnel issues. It provides us with the
experienced perspective that is so useful in handling these issues with confidence.”
