How a 40-Year-Old Water Treatment Company Kept Its Canvassing Team Staffed for 14 Straight Months

The Challenge

Great Southern Water Treatment has sold whole-home water systems in Florida for four decades, and for the last several years its growth has run through a door-to-door canvassing team that sets appointments for experienced in-home closers. The owner's son runs that department, about 15 canvassers in company vehicles working new-construction neighborhoods across a large Central Florida territory.

Finding closers was never the problem. Finding canvassers was. The company needed people in their mid-twenties with clean driving records who would show up, and it had spent years running its own Indeed ads, reading resumes, and chasing no-shows without a dedicated recruiter to do it. A second office in Jacksonville, with a manager and a top salesperson already in place, sat understaffed because the same recruiting bottleneck was stopping it from building a team.

The Approach

HyperHired took over the top of the funnel completely: writing and running the postings, activating search functions, screening applicants, and delivering qualified canvasser candidates directly to the owner's team on a steady weekly rhythm rather than in bursts. Because the role required a clean license and a vehicle-ready candidate, screening filtered for that up front instead of leaving it to the interview.

The engagement was structured as an ongoing monthly campaign rather than a one-time search, which fit a business whose canvassing headcount is never really finished. As the Central Florida office stabilized, the same pipeline was pointed at Jacksonville.

The Results

The clearest result is the one the client votes on every month. Great Southern Water Treatment started with HyperHired in July 2025 and has renewed its monthly engagement 14 consecutive times through August 2026, with interviews still flowing every week more than a year in. For an owner who described recruiting as a headache he did not have staff to solve, the pipeline has become a fixed part of how the business runs.

The owner had told HyperHired on the first call that the company had not been growing the way it needed to, and that the hardest thing about growth was finding the canvassers who could eventually lead a car and a team of their own. Fourteen months later, that recruiting function is no longer something the family does themselves.

"It's crazy to me how hard it is to find these guys that are in their mid-20s and have like a clean driver's license."
