How EcoShield Hired 12 Pest Control Reps in Three Weeks Across Multiple Markets

The Challenge

With six years in the pest control industry, EcoShield's recruiter had tried every cold-contact method there is — friends, family, college shoulder-tapping, grocery-store approaches. He'd had real success, but wanted to exhaust a new resource rather than carry the entire recruiting load himself heading into the busy season. There was also a practical obstacle: a problem with the company's existing Indeed account that limited its primary sourcing channel right when volume mattered most.

The Approach

HyperHired moved the search onto a specialty account and layered in LinkedIn and a bit of ZipRecruiter to keep candidate flow strong despite the Indeed limitation. From there, the team treated recruiting the way EcoShield treats its own marketing — constant optimization. They tested what worked and what didn't, refined scripts and interview timing, and coached on how to handle candidates once they walked in the door, so a good lead actually converted to a hire.

That persistence through the early calibration was what the recruiter singled out: the team stayed on it until they found the exact tweaks the campaign needed, and then it took off.

The Results

Over a recent stretch, EcoShield brought on 15+ active reps through HyperHired — including 12 in a single three-week window. With a steady pipeline in place, the recruiter could focus his energy where it mattered: retaining and training the new team rather than chasing applicants, plus reclaiming time for the rest of the business.

The company runs branches across multiple markets, from Texas to Wisconsin, and with recruiting handled was positioned to keep expanding while staying profitable — using a strong summer as the proof point to optimize further into the next year.

"I have over fifteen people just within the last couple months from you guys — twelve in the last three weeks." — Thomas, EcoShield
