How Houston Water Solutions Lifted Sales 50% and Expanded to a Second Market

The Challenge

A business owner of roughly ten years, the founder of Houston Water Solutions knew his product and his process — but recruiting was a constant drain. Running Indeed and vetting candidates internally meant hours lost to calling, screening resumes, and chasing people who then didn't show. All that time was spent just to get someone through the door, before any selling happened. He'd tried several recruiting companies in the past without success and came in skeptical.

The Approach

After a couple of weeks dialing in the profile, the candidates coming through were exactly what the company wanted for its direct-sales motion: people excited about a commission opportunity, with drive and personality. HyperHired handled sourcing, screening, and scheduling; the owner's team handled interviews and onboarding. The recruiting team's calling staff — salespeople themselves — left such a strong impression that candidates arrived asking about the people who'd screened them, a sign the front of the funnel was being handled with care.

Weekly meetings with the account team kept the campaign tuned, with the team continually asking what they could do better and adjusting quickly. The owner credited that responsiveness with keeping his own side on top of the process.

The Results

Within roughly three months, Houston Water Solutions saw sales climb 50% — an increase the owner called massive, and one that he said had already paid for the engagement many times over. The hiring moved fast enough that the company filled its Houston office in about three weeks and asked HyperHired to redirect the campaign to its Austin office to keep the momentum going.

Of the reps brought in, the company built a core group of four strong performers to build the next wave around — and saw the classic compounding effect of fresh talent: new hires raised the energy and competitiveness of the floor, pulling tenured reps' numbers up alongside them. The owner became comfortable enough with the results that he was vouching for HyperHired to other water companies who called to check his reference.

"Our sales are up 50% to where we were before — which is massive. It's already paid for itself a thousand times over." — Anthony, Houston Water Solutions
