Hiring & Retention

Build a year-round recruiting process, structured onboarding, and career paths that give good people a reason to stay.

Hire before you’re desperate. Keep the people you hire.

Growth stalls when you can’t find, train, and keep good people. We help you build a recruiting process that runs all year, an onboarding plan that gets new hires productive fast, and a career path that gives your best people a reason to stay.

Sounds familiar?

  • You only recruit when someone quits.
  • New hires are handed to a busy tech and told to “ride along.”
  • Good techs leave for a dollar more an hour.
  • Interviews are a conversation, not a process.
  • Nobody has a clear path from apprentice to lead tech or manager.

What we coach

  • Recruiting: job ads, referral programs, schools and apprenticeship pipelines, and a weekly recruiting rhythm.
  • Interviewing and selection: structured interviews, ride-alongs, and scorecards tied to your core values.
  • Onboarding: 30/60/90-day plans for techs, CSRs, and managers.
  • Training and career paths: skill levels, certifications, and the pay that goes with each step.
  • Retention: stay interviews, reviews, and early warning signs before someone leaves.

What you get

  • Hiring process and interview guides
  • Onboarding plans by role
  • Career ladder with pay bands
  • Review templates
  • Recruiting calendar

FAQ

Which roles can onboarding cover?

We build 30/60/90-day onboarding plans for technicians, CSRs, and managers.

Is recruiting only for when a role opens?

The process is built around a year-round recruiting calendar and a weekly rhythm, rather than starting from scratch when someone leaves.
