Not Your Average Employment Agency

We wanted to learn all about Abbey Placements and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the General Manager and President, Marc Poirier.

The first question we had for Marc was what is it that sets Abbey Placements apart from their competition in Illinois. Here’s Marc’s response:

“We are locally owned and operated. Our staff has been with us for a long time, and we’ve had a lot of the same customers for many years because we do a good job of providing our client companies with good employees. We’ve been able to help them through changing staffing environments, because we continue to innovate and find new ways of approaching a very old problem of finding good people good jobs.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Abbey Placements and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Marc had to say:

“We’re trying to continually improve ourselves and our community. We want our customers to be better off than before they started working with us. Sometimes, we can’t always solve their problems, but we can help guide them in the right direction and help them improve their situation.”

Building Success Through Excellent Service

Marc attributes Abbey Placements’ strong online reputation to their commitment to providing their clients with excellent service and reaching out to them to ask for reviews. He added:

“In general, we try to really listen to our customers and help them with where they’re at. We’re going to take the time to really look closely at their needs and do an excellent job of matching them either with good employees or good jobs.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Abbey Placements has gotten their name out there by being involved in the McLean County Chamber of Commerce, by being apart of local networking groups and by supporting local initiatives through churches, the Rotary club, etc.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Abbey Placements has. Here’s Marc’s expert advice for them:

“Look for opportunities to go above and beyond for people. Sometimes, the problems that other people don’t want to deal with are opportunities that can set you apart.”


Congratulations to the team at Abbey Placements for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Marc, for taking the time to speak with us!
