Retention Starts with Recruitment: How Prospect Builds Teams That Last

Think employee retention begins after someone’s hired?
Think again.

At Prospect, we know that long-term loyalty is built during the recruitment process—not just during employment.

Hiring the right people from the start is your greatest retention tool.


The Disconnect: Hiring Fast, Losing Faster

Many companies rush the hiring process just to fill roles.

But quick fixes lead to long-term problems:

  • Mismatched hires

  • High first-year turnover

  • Constant retraining costs

  • Culture damage from repeated exits

Retention isn’t a separate goal from recruiting—it’s the natural outcome of a smarter hiring strategy.


How Prospect Aligns Recruiting with Retention

We help businesses move from “fill the seat” to “build the team.”

Here’s how our process focuses on hiring people who are built to stay:

1. Role Design for Longevity
We define each position with clarity, growth opportunities, and long-term expectations.

2. Employer Brand Alignment
We help you present your culture, values, and team dynamics in a way that attracts the right candidates—and repels the wrong ones.

3. Candidate Screening for Commitment
We don’t just assess skills—we ask the right questions to gauge loyalty, resilience, and alignment.

4. Values-Based Interviews
Our structured interviews uncover how candidates make decisions, handle challenges, and contribute to team success.

5. Onboarding for Engagement
We support you in delivering a first 90 days that builds belonging, confidence, and clarity from day one.


Why This Works

Employees stay when:

  • They’re hired into roles that suit their goals

  • They feel aligned with the company’s mission

  • They experience clarity and structure early on

  • They feel heard and supported in their growth

That’s the system Prospect builds—with retention baked in.


Who We Help

This approach works especially well for:

  • Businesses scaling from 5 to 50+ employees

  • Companies with previous turnover struggles

  • Managers who want more stability and engagement

  • Teams that need long-term contributors, not job hoppers


Retention Isn’t a Perk—It’s a Process

You don’t need better snacks to keep people—you need better systems.

With Prospect, you recruit the right people, for the right reasons, from the start.
