Yellowstone is far and away the best recruiting company I have dealt with. There are vendors, and there are partners. Yellowstone is definitely a partner.

A search built around Haynes’s standards.

Haynes needed experienced HVAC technicians and service leadership, with stronger vetting around diagnostics, communication and process adherence. Yellowstone calibrated candidate profiles and screening, then ran the technical and management searches in parallel. Six hires were confirmed in CRM by October 21, 2026, including four HVAC technicians.

An urgent need—and a much wider hiring record.

In May 2024, Sirius asked for two HVAC technicians by the end of the week. A contemporaneous account update records two hires by Wednesday, plus an additional plumber. Across the wider historical engagement, CRM records 86 confirmed hires, with the last on August 14, 2026. The linked case study takes a closer look at seven recorded hires across five role types in July–August 2026.

Recruiting delivery, plus a system the team could own.

Yellowstone configured Bannister’s Recruitee ATS, built a branded career page and migrated candidates across four pipelines before handing over account administration in May 2024. Separately, ATS logs verify at least six hires from March 19–May 20, 2024: a dispatcher, a CSR, three plumbing apprentices and an HVAC technician.

The hiring system mattered, too.

Wisler started without an ATS or established talent pools. Yellowstone configured a branded Recruitee account, career-site widget and job pipelines, and supported recruiting that included general management, installation project management and customer service. The historical CRM record contains 99 confirmed hires, from an August 2022 onboarding through the last hire confirmation in September 2025. The engagement ended in October 2025.

A specific result across two service lines.

The spring 2026 record for Affordable Fixes includes three distinct hires: one plumber and two HVAC technicians. That role-level view keeps the result concrete—recruiting across both plumbing and HVAC from April 15 through May 29—without presenting the selected period as a lifetime hiring total.

Qualified plumbers—and early relief for the team.

Steve’s faced a limited licensed-plumber pool and unqualified applicants. Yellowstone focused on residential service and journeyman talent, recording five plumbing hires from May through October 2026. In a July account update, the client said two hires had started and described renewed energy for the lead plumber. That feedback is a dated early result, not a retention claim.

Recruiting for a new electrical service line.

The Perfect Light needed licensed electrical talent and office leadership as it expanded into residential electrical service. Yellowstone supported both searches. Three hires were confirmed in the first 35 days after August 18, 2025 onboarding; by September 15, 2026, CRM recorded nine confirmed hires across electrical roles and call-center management.

A search that changed with the role priority.

Accutemp wanted experienced HVAC talent for a more self-sufficient team. When the priority shifted from installation back to a sales technician in March 2026, Yellowstone adjusted the search while retaining promising installer candidates. The resulting record includes five recruiting hires: two sales technicians, two lead installers and one installer.

Support beyond an exhausted applicant pool.

Forquer had exhausted its familiar Indeed candidate pool, and recruiting was taking the owner’s time. Across two historical engagements, Yellowstone supported HVAC service, installation, maintenance and sales hiring. The record contains ten confirmed hires from September 2025 through August 2026. Forquer is a former client; this is a historical delivery record.

A multi-trade record with a wider hiring total.

OnTime’s historical engagement began in January 2023 and recorded 73 confirmed hires through April 8, 2025. Selected recruiting wins covered electrical and HVAC roles, plumbing apprenticeship and dispatch. The cumulative total describes the engagement; the role examples show how the work reached across the field and office.

Sources & reporting notes

What the numbers represent.

Reviewed November 2, 2026 from Yellowstone Local’s CRM, dated recruiting and ATS records, account history and existing public reviews. “CRM-confirmed hires” means hires confirmed in the account record. It does not mean retained employees, net headcount growth or independently verified employment starts.

  • Haynes: six CRM-confirmed hires through October 21, 2026, including four HVAC technicians; onboarding August 17, 2026.
  • Sirius: 86 cumulative CRM-confirmed hires from the March 2023 onboarding through August 14, 2026. Former client. The linked case study covers a narrower seven-hire July–August 2026 snapshot.
  • Bannister: at least six individually ATS-verified hires, March 19–May 20, 2024—a documented subset, not a complete period or lifetime total. ATS implementation and the 2024 handoff are documented separately.
  • Wisler: 99 cumulative CRM-confirmed hires, from August 2022 onboarding through September 23, 2025. The engagement ended October 2025.
  • Affordable Fixes: three recorded hires, April 15–May 29, 2026, in a selected reporting window.
  • Steve’s Plumbing & Heating: five recorded plumbing hires, May 29–October 8, 2026. The July client account update is paraphrased and reflects feedback at that time, not retention.
  • The Perfect Light: nine CRM-confirmed hires through September 15, 2026. The first three were confirmed within 35 days after August 18, 2025 onboarding; that is not average or per-job time to fill.
  • Accutemp: five CRM-confirmed recruiting hires, November 18, 2025–April 23, 2026; a separate customer-service staffing placement is excluded.
  • Forquer: ten confirmed hires across two historical engagements, September 2025–August 2026; last confirmation August 11, 2026. Former client.
  • OnTime: 73 cumulative CRM-confirmed hires from January 2023 onboarding through April 8, 2025. The role examples are selected, not a complete breakdown of the total.

Reporting periods and evidence types differ, so the counts should not be added into one combined result. Public review excerpts are attributed to their original reviewers and do not establish current satisfaction. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
