Perspectives’ client is a multi-location hospitality and restaurant enterprise operating fast food and hotel properties in remote regions of Arizona and New Mexico. With staffing efforts led by consultants Joan Vieweger and Ed Engoron of PERSPECTIVES/The Consulting Group, the organization faced ongoing recruitment challenges due to geographic isolation and limited local talent pools. Their commitment to customer service and operational excellence drove them to seek innovative hiring solutions tailored to their unique workforce needs.
Recruiting in extremely remote areas with a limited population and local candidate pool posed a significant challenge. The remote nature of the job locations meant that traditional recruiting methods were often ineffective, limiting the pool of potential candidates.
The group needed creative ways to attract candidates who could thrive in remote, off-the-grid locations—often on Native American reservations. Success depended on finding people who were not only qualified but also culturally and lifestyle-aligned with living far from urban conveniences.
Traditional recruiting methods were slow and failed to yield the desired results. The reliance on standard job postings and limited outreach strategies did not provide access to a broad, qualified candidate pool necessary for these critical roles.
The cost of using headhunters was high, and the internal recruitment efforts were time-consuming and resource-intensive, adding pressure to the restaurant group’s budget and operational efficiency.
Hoops conducted market analysis to identify untapped talent pools, managed job postings as attractive relocation opportunities, employed AI-enabled candidate scoring and automated engagement campaigns, and ensured cultural fit through targeted phone screenings.
Hoops conducted a comprehensive market analysis to identify neighboring communities with untapped talent pools that would be a good lifestyle and compensation fit. They advertised the positions as attractive relocation opportunities, rotating the locations to capture fresh talent from various cities. This strategic outreach ensured a broader reach and a steady influx of qualified candidates willing to relocate for the job.
Hoops, led by the Client Success Manager, crafted compelling job descriptions that showcased unique perks—like housing, paid relocation, and the scenic beauty of areas near the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. This strategic messaging, paired with targeted outreach in ideal cities, attracted a new pool of qualified candidates eager to relocate and thrive in an off-the-grid lifestyle.
Hoops replaced traditional methods with a programmatic strategy, using multiple job boards and optimized targeting to reduce cost-per-click. Benefits were highlighted in both job posts and screenings, which also ensured cultural and lifestyle fit—especially important for roles on Native American reservations. AI-powered scoring and automated outreach streamlined the process even further.
Hoops provided a transparent, easy-to-use platform that blended the expertise of their dedicated handson team with advanced technology. The platform offered real-time updates, Hoops’ Hula AI screening tools, and detailed candidate insights, significantly reducing recruitment costs compared to traditional headhunters. This approach saved the company substantial time and resources, allowing them to focus on their core operations while Hoops managed the recruitment process.
Perspectives’ client saved over 82 hours in the first two months, hired two management positions quickly, reduced recruitment costs by half, and experienced immediate and high-quality candidate responses. Joan Vieweger plans to recommend Hoops to other clients due to the effective and user-friendly approach.
"Collaborating with Perspectives and their client has been a rewarding experience. Working together as a unified team, we found the leadership talent needed to continue to deliver top-tier customer service. Partnering with a company that demonstrates such unwavering commitment to hiring the right people is truly an honor."
“The process has been illuminating and innovating. It’s been a very good experience for us. Particularly the fact that you all demonstrated to us that you had expertise in the recruiting area. Our Client Success Manager is very knowledgeable about our particular segments that we’re looking for. She really helped us craft very specific, concise, compelling job descriptions. The timeframe has been compressed considerably. We started getting responses very quickly, which is something you just didn’t see happening with traditional methods. So this has been really refreshing. I think it’s a great business model.”
