Manufacturing Recruiting Success Story: HF Rubber Machinery
See how Turning the Corner HR partnered with HF Rubber Machinery in Topeka, Kansas to recruit specialized manufacturing talent and strengthen its approach to hiring hard-to-fill roles.
Read Full Client Transcript
Our equipment is the baseline and beginning stages of many rubber products people use every day, from the soles of shoes to the tires on a car.
We operate in a very niche market, and hiring upper level positions can be difficult. Turning the Corner HR was extremely effective at finding skilled professionals in specialized industries, which is why we partnered with them.
Working with Meredith has been a huge time saver. I simply review the candidates and move them to the next step. I don’t have to spend time chasing people, cold calling, or managing sourcing efforts because she handles the process from start to finish.
Turning the Corner HR went above and beyond the standard recruiting process. They took a strategic approach to evaluating fit for both the company and the candidate. They even reassessed the fit several months later, which showed a level of investment most recruiting firms never provide.
Turning the Corner HR also made recruiting far less stressful by teaching us how to recruit more efficiently. Before working with them, we were largely winging the process. They helped us understand sourcing, better interview strategies, and how to build a more effective hiring process.
When Turning the Corner HR takes on a recruiting role for our organization, we know they’ll do it well and bring us the right candidate. We’ve consistently had strong hiring outcomes working with their team.
Hiring the wrong person costs more than money. It drains time, energy, and momentum. For many executives, recruiting pulls them away from strategy and growth. At Turning the Corner HR, we take that weight off your shoulders and actively hunt for the talent that your organization needs.
We do more than fill seats. We conduct customized, culture aligned recruiting searches designed to help growing companies hire and retain the right people for leadership, technical, manufacturing, and hard to fill roles. Our recruiting process includes onboarding and training to ensure the new hire is successful.
Our services are designed for organizations that need key employees but don’t have the capabilities to do it internally. We support companies across Colorado and nationwide who expect great hires for their money.

“I’m so appreciative of the work from Turning the Corner HR, particularly the smooth path they created for our new HR leader. Not only did they find an incredible candidate for our HR Director, but also TTC introduced our agency to what high quality HR really does for an organization. They prepared our organization for the positive impact an HR professional can have on a team and all the different ways they can provide value. I’m very pleased with the expertise and overall experience provided by Turning the Corner HR.”
— Beth Roalstad, CEO, Homeward Pikes Peak
“We engaged with Turning the Corner HR to assist in finding the perfect candidate for the leader of our application development team in Broomfield, Colorado. The TTC team was thorough in understanding our culture, our vision, and our true needs for this leader and helped create a plan to find the right person for our organization. They were highly communicative, collaborative, and thoughtful in their search.
With their help, we were able to hire a Director of Engineering who has truly elevated our team as a model across the enterprise and they were also instrumental in helping us find other key members of our software engineering technical staff. I would highly recommend Turning the Corner HR as a partner in recruitment for a key leadership role.”
— George Land, GM, Trane Technologies
“It feels great to not ever have to read hundreds of resumes, talk to countless job seekers, spend hours and hours interviewing and feeling pressed for time to make a decision, resulting in a bad one. Working with Turning the Corner HR has saved me time, stress and likely, the cost of a bad hire.”
