About the Companies

About Remote Latinos

About Peach Painting & Flooring

Peach Painting & Flooring is a home services company owned by Russell Peach. As the business grew, Russell wanted to add call center team members without piling more pressure on his team. Reviewing applicants, filtering, and interviewing were slowing things down, and a wrong hire meant lost time and money on training and ramp up.

Case Summary: The Challenge and Results

The Challenge

How can a growing home services company hire qualified call center staff quickly without paying for wrong hires?

Russell faced too many applicants to review without enough qualified matches. Time spent filtering and interviewing slowed the hiring process, and every wrong hire increased the cost of training, ramp up, and lost momentum. His goal was a hiring process that brought him qualified people to choose from, with steady support along the way.

Demonstrable Results

  • Hiring time cut from 8 weeks to 1: Remote Latinos helped reduce hiring time from eight weeks to one week.
  • About 70% lower recruitment costs: recruitment costs dropped by about 70 percent.
  • A hire promoted to leadership: Yousef Brena became a standout and, after about a year, is moving into a bigger role running the call center.
  • A multi-year partnership: more than two years of working together, multiple hires, and another hire in progress.

Step-by-Step Solution

Multiple candidate lists with applicant notes and feedback, plus ongoing support across more than two years of hiring.

Needs Identification

Russell needed call center team members and a process that delivered qualified people to choose from, not a pile of applicants to filter. Because wrong hires were costly in training and ramp up, fit mattered as much as speed.

Selection and Recruitment

Remote Latinos stayed highly communicative, sent multiple candidate lists, and shared notes and feedback on applicants, making it easier for Russell's team to make decisions. When he did not see candidates he liked on one list, the team was fast to send more.

Onboarding and Daily Management

One early hire became a learning lesson due to internal fit issues, and the replacement support from Remote Latinos gave Russell peace of mind. His most recent hire, Yousef Brena, became a standout team member and, after about a year, is now moving into a bigger leadership role running the call center. Another hire is in progress.
