Process audit
We examine your current recruiting workflow end-to-end, intake, sourcing, screening, interview, offer, onboarding. We identify the bottlenecks, the leaks, and the steps that are costing you good candidates.

Recruiting
Consulting.
We help internal HR and talent teams build the systems, sourcing strategies, and processes they need to fill skilled trades and manufacturing roles consistently, on their own.
When you don't need a search firm. You need a better recruiting function.
Some companies don't need Cannonball to fill their roles. They have internal recruiters or HR generalists who could be doing the work, if they had the right systems, sourcing channels, and processes in place.
That's what consulting is for. We bring agency-side staffing expertise to your internal team, from a firm whose founder built a $100M+ skilled trades division at a national staffing operation. We assess what's working, identify what's broken, and help you build the recruiting infrastructure that fills skilled trades and manufacturing roles consistently, without you having to outsource every search.
02
Sourcing playbook
Trade schools, union relationships, competitor sourcing, niche job boards, candidate database strategy. We build the sourcing playbook your industry actually uses, customized to your geography and roles.
03
Screening frameworks
Standardized intake questions, technical screening rubrics, interview scorecards, reference check templates. We give your team the tools to evaluate candidates consistently, not subjectively.
04
Internal team training
Hands-on training for your in-house recruiters and HR managers. We teach the trades-specific knowledge, the sourcing techniques, and the negotiation tactics that separate professional staffing from hopeful hiring.
Best fit for these situations
Companies with internal HR teams that own recruiting but lack trades-specific expertise. Operations that have outgrown reactive hiring and want to build a real pipeline. HR leaders who've been burned by external agencies and want to bring more of the function in-house. Companies preparing for growth who need to scale recruiting before they scale headcount.
