We built
this engine for
our businesses first
Then 100+ direct‑sales partners asked us to build it for theirs.
Peter and Jake Swenson.
Over two decades each in door-to-door sales taught us the painful version of every lesson. We hired wrong and hired right, built slow and built fast, lost good people in week one and sustained countless rookies into multi-year vets, burned cash on job boards, and leveraged job boards to generate $100M+ in revenue.
As we learned to scale profitably, we sat down and built the system from first-touch principles, applicant generation, screening automation, a pre-launch Sales School, and rookie ramp-up frameworks. We installed it inside our own solar company and scaled to 2,000+ reps and $130M+ in production.
Other founders and sales leaders saw what we’d built and asked if we could build it for them. D2D HIRE was born, and within a year we installed the same engine for 100+ door-to-door and direct sales teams across 40+ states.
Recruiting is a process, not a moment — and it requires closing the trust gap and the confidence gap as quickly as possible.
Sales builds your character. But before it builds your character, it reveals it — then you have a choice. What are you going to do about it?
Make promises you can’t keep. Then develop yourself into the person who can keep them.
Four principles we won’t compromise on.
Good fit or no go
Our work has to do two things at once: serve the needs of your team today and build the foundation for a long-term collaboration tomorrow. If your business model or culture isn’t a great fit for our process, we will tell you on the front end. Saying yes to the wrong partnership costs both sides too much.
Aligned incentives
Our profitability is directly tied to the success of the reps we place and retain inside your organization. In the immediate term, that shows up in our fee structure. Long-term, the partnership only continues when your team is winning and profiting predictably. Both clocks run on the same outcome.
Integrated approach
In many ways, we operate as your fractional recruiting department. That means weekly consulting, constant split-testing, fast feedback loops, and the collaborative conversations that enhance the value of recruiting wherever we can. We work inside the business, not adjacent to it.
Earned every month
A 90-day initial term while the engine ramps, then it runs month to month, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. We earn the partnership every month rather than locking you into a long contract.
IN the industry, NOT on the sidelines.
The recruiting engine is never finished. We know innovation is key to survival in a post-AI world. We are actively building and refining our system to bring more value to our partners over time. What works today is the baseline for what we’ll build tomorrow.
That’s why you find us in the rooms, at the events, on recruiting calls, and consulting our partners weekly. We’re still active in the work, not theorizing from outside it. Every iteration of the engine comes from something tested and something proven.
“We stopped second-guessing our training and started keeping the right people.”
See if we’re the right fit.
Every partnership starts with the same conversation: who you are, where you’re going, and whether our engine fits inside your business. 30 minutes. No commitment. You walk away with a customized recruiting ROI worksheet either way.
