How Homebuying Solutions Built Its Acquisitions Team From a Pool of 40 Interviews in Week One

The Challenge

Homebuying Solutions, a Pittsburgh real estate investing firm that buys, renovates, and wholesales properties, was ramping up and needed acquisitions reps to handle inbound sellers and make offers over the phone. As a first-time hirer, the owner wasn't even sure how many people he needed — he figured somewhere between two and four — and he had no process for sourcing, screening, or scheduling candidates at any kind of volume. He'd found HyperHired the way many owners do: a long Google search through a dozen recruiting companies, bookmarking the handful that looked credible, and ultimately calling the one that picked up and walked him through a real demo.

The Approach

HyperHired ran the ads, brought the candidates in, pre-screened them, and set the follow-up interviews over Google Meet — leaving the owner to do the one thing only he could do: decide who to hire. He blocked a four-hour interview window each day for about six days, and every window booked solid, eight interviews back-to-back. By the end of that first week he'd done somewhere in the range of 30 to 40 interviews.

The Results

Out of roughly 40 interviews in the first week, Homebuying Solutions hired four reps — and could have hired eight. As a first-time hirer protective of his lead flow, he chose to book only the best four, with another four or five right on the cusp. In fact, he asked HyperHired to pause the campaign early because he simply had more qualified candidates than he could onboard at once.

In the weeks that followed, two of the original four didn't work out — a normal reality of building a sales team — but because the engagement had produced a backup list, he simply brought in three more, bringing the active team to five. The lasting value, in his words, was security: he went from having no reps and no way to get them, to a trained team plus a waiting list of vetted candidates he could call the moment he needed to scale or replace someone.

"I feel secure because I know I can crank it back up again and have an influx of people to interview. I'm not concerned about finding good people anymore." — James, Homebuying Solutions
