The true measure of any recruiting partnership lies in its results. At KeHalo, we don’t just talk about “Total Team Success Recruiting™”; we prove it. Our methodology delivers tangible, measurable outcomes that directly impact your company’s profitability and growth.
Here’s a snapshot of a real-world success story, showing how we help high-integrity companies hire like their business depends on it—because it does.
In this case, our Total Team Success Recruiting™ approach helped a struggling $35M manufacturing subsidiary rise from last place to top performer in just five months. The transformation speaks directly to the high cost—and high opportunity—of getting hiring right. Research by the Harvard Business Review reinforces what we see every day: the true cost of a bad hire extends far beyond the resume.
Case Study: From Dead Last to #1 in Just 5 Months
The Problem:
A $35M U.S.-based manufacturing subsidiary—one of 13 within a national operations group—was hemorrhaging performance. Despite heavy investment in plant and equipment, the site ranked dead last in KPIs. Revenue declined, costs ballooned, leadership churned, and toxic culture clashes emerged between legacy staff and corporate leadership. Leadership considered selling the site at a loss.
KeHalo’s Strategy:
Brought in by the VP of HR, KeHalo applied its Total Team Success Recruiting™ system with urgency and precision:
-
Diagnosed Root Issues: We surfaced hidden culture and leadership mismatches that were stalling progress and burning out talent.
-
Precision Hiring: In just four months, we placed seven best-in-class leaders—hand-picked for cultural alignment, problem-solving strength, and proven performance.
-
Minimized Relocation Friction: The majority of placements were made with no or minimal relocation, accelerating onboarding and impact.
-
Rebuilt Trust: With the right team in place, morale surged. KeHalo’s high-trust hiring model created a culture where people wanted to contribute their best.
The Result:
In just five months, the plant went from last place to first or second in every key metric across its 13-site peer group. Profitability returned. Turnover stopped. The talk of divestiture was replaced with strategic reinvestment. The once-underperforming site is now a benchmark for operational excellence across the organization.
Your Success Story Awaits
This is just a glimpse of how KeHalo partners with high-integrity companies to transform their hiring from a liability into their greatest asset. We believe that when you hire strategically, with precision and discipline, profit doesn’t just follow people – it flourishes.
