Recruitment
Process Outsourcing.

We become your recruiting team. Cannonball takes full or partial ownership of your hiring process, intake to onboarding, so you can focus on running the business.

RPO, built for skilled trades and manufacturing

Most RPO providers are generalists. They'll staff a call center as easily as a fabrication shop, which means they don't really understand either. Cannonball's RPO is different: we only do this for trades and manufacturing, so the playbook, the sourcing channels, and the screening expertise are purpose-built for your industry.

We embed with your team. We use your branding, your ATS, your hiring criteria, your interview process. From the candidate's perspective, we look like part of your company, because for the duration of the engagement, we are.

01

Full or partial ownership

We can run your entire recruiting function or take ownership of specific roles, departments, or hiring waves. Scale up during busy periods, scale down when the bench is full.

02

Industry-specific sourcing

Trade school relationships, union halls, competitor networks, equipment-specific candidate databases, the sourcing infrastructure trades and manufacturing employers need but rarely have in-house.

03

Predictable pipeline

You stop reacting to hiring crises and start running a real pipeline. We map your workforce needs, build the candidate bench in advance, and deliver consistent flow.

04

Reporting and accountability

Time-to-fill, source quality, conversion rates, retention, you get visibility into the metrics that matter, not vanity numbers. We report what's working and what isn't.

Best fit for these situations

High-volume hiring environments. Multi-shift operations. Companies scaling production and needing to hire ahead of demand. Operations with internal HR that needs trades-specific expertise. Plants opening new lines. Manufacturers expanding into new geographies who need to build a workforce from scratch.
