Angelle's Hiring Transformation: A Concrete Success Story
-
Client: Angelle Materias
Angelle, a Baton Rouge-based concrete manufacturing and delivery company, faced a critical staffing challenge. With a fleet grounded due to a lack of drivers, their ability to deliver products and generate revenue was severely impacted. That was until they partnered with Fletcher for a hiring overhaul using Integrity Testing.
At the start of Q1 2023, Angelle was struggling. The company had not made a single hire, despite a desperate need for commercial drivers. They had tried everything, even investing $100,000 in an advanced HR system, but saw minimal applicant flow and faced additional setbacks from fraudulent work comp claims, further straining their operations.
The game changed when Angelle adopted Fletcher's innovative recruitment approach, integrating performance hiring software with a newly acquired Integrity First test. This tool, backed by over 40 years of data and 1.5 million data points, promised to tackle their hiring crisis head-on.
Without spending extra on advertising, Fletcher's strategy drew over 315 qualified CDL drivers in just 60 days. By redesigning job ads and leveraging recruitment marketing tools overnight, Angelle saw a flood of applicants. An eight-minute integrity survey screened these applicants, immediately identifying those who met Angelle's high standards for integrity.
The results were staggering. Within two months, Angelle made six crucial hires in positions that had been nearly impossible to fill. But the success didn't stop there. Over the next three quarters, they went on to hire a total of 31 high-quality drivers. This surge in staffing allowed Angelle not only to meet customer demand but also to expand their operations by purchasing additional trucks, leading to hundreds of thousands in increased revenue.

The Integrity Testing didn't just solve immediate hiring needs; it laid the foundation for long-term improvements in workplace culture and operational integrity. With a significant reduction in turnover and a decline in work comp claim frequency and severity, Angelle experienced a transformation in their organizational health.
The Takeaway:
Angelle's journey from hiring stagnation to a bustling fleet and booming business underscores the power of innovative hiring solutions. Integrity Testing, as part of a comprehensive hiring strategy, proved to be a cornerstone in not only filling positions with qualified individuals but ensuring these hires were aligned with the company's values and integrity standards. This case study stands as a testament to the profound impact of strategic hiring practices on a company's bottom line and operational success.
