Your Dealership. Your People. Our Priority.
One Predictable Investment. A Dedicated Recruiting Partner. No Additional Placement Fees.
Explore a PartnershipSuccessful dealerships are built on strong teams. Finding and retaining them shouldn’t be a constant challenge — or an unpredictable expense.
At Hess Solutions, we believe recruiting should be more than a transaction. Our Retained Recruiting Partnership provides your dealership with ongoing access to professional automotive recruiting services through one consistent monthly investment.
Whether you’re strengthening your sales team, expanding fixed operations, or searching for experienced leadership, we work as an extension of your dealership to identify, attract, and secure the talent your business needs.
Your dealership deserves more than a recruiter. It deserves a recruiting partner.
A Smarter Way to Recruit
Stop Paying for Every Hire. Start Investing in Your Team.
Traditional recruiting fees can add up quickly, especially when your dealership is hiring across multiple departments.
With Hess Solution's Retained Recruiting Partnership, you gain ongoing recruiting support without paying an individual placement fee each time you make a hire.
What Your Partnership Delivers
Predictable Recruiting Costs
One monthly investment with no additional placement fees for covered positions.
Priority Recruiting Support
Dedicated attention to your dealership’s staffing needs.
Dealership-Wide Coverage
Recruiting services across sales, service, parts, accounting, finance, and management.

The Value of a Retained Recruiting Partnership
One Hire Could Justify Your Investment. Imagine the Value of Three.
Consider a dealership hiring a service technician, a sales manager, and an accounting professional.
Under a traditional recruiting model, each successful placement could result in a separate recruiting fee.
With a Hess Solutions Retained Recruiting Partnership, those positions can be supported through one predictable monthly investment, without additional placement fees for covered roles.

A Partnership That Evolves With Your Dealership
Flexible Recruiting. Predictable Investment.
Every dealership has different hiring needs, and those needs can change over time.
Six-month start
Our retained recruiting partnerships begin with an initial six-month commitment, allowing us to develop a deeper understanding of your dealership, establish hiring priorities, and build a consistent recruiting strategy.
Review together
At the end of the initial partnership period, we review your recruiting activity, hiring volume, and anticipated staffing needs together.
Adjust as you grow
As your dealership’s needs evolve, your recruiting investment can be adjusted accordingly, ensuring the partnership continues to deliver value for both your business and ours.
A recruiting relationship designed around your dealership — not a one-size-fits-all fee structure.
More Than a Placement. A Long-Term Recruiting Advantage.
Recruiting isn’t simply about filling today’s vacancies. It’s about positioning your dealership for tomorrow.
When Hess Solutions becomes your recruiting partner, we take the time to understand what makes your business successful — from its leadership and culture to its expectations and long-term staffing goals.
That understanding allows us to recruit more strategically, identify better-aligned candidates, and bring greater consistency to your hiring process.
We focus on building relationships, not simply completing transactions.
Because the right people don’t just fill positions. They move your dealership forward.
