How One Contractor Ended the Technician Shortage with ThermoGrid + RISE
From Hiring Chaos to Confidence: A Contractor’s Transformation Story

The Challenge: A Revolving Door of Techs
This contracting company faced chronic technician turnover, low morale, and desperation-driven hiring.
Leadership felt stuck—begging staff to stay just to keep the schedule running. With no strong culture, recruiting system, or leadership development in place, operations were chaotic, and the company couldn’t grow.
The Need: A Recruiting System That Works
What they needed was:
- A repeatable hiring framework
- Leadership that could inspire and retain top talent
- Cultural clarity to attract high-performing candidates

“Before RISE, I begged techs to stay. Now I’ve got candidates lined up and only hire the best... I’m no longer held hostage by employees.”
— Bryan T., Contractor CEO
