We know that finding and retaining the right team is one of the biggest challenges and opportunities you face as a business leader. The hiring process can feel daunting: the endless search, the constant worry, how it will impact your existing team. Often, the responsibility of hiring falls on your department leaders, who may have varying levels of hiring experience and are already at full bandwidth managing their teams. This can lead to inconsistent hiring practices, rushed decisions, and difficulty securing A-Player talent. You and your leaders spend an extraordinary amount of time, resources, and effort posting job ads, reading resumes, and interviewing, only to learn in the end you might have brought on the wrong hire.
We get it — because we’ve been there too. In fact, that’s why we created Amplify People: to be the anti-recruiter. We understand the apprehension and frustrations that often come with working with traditional recruiters — the exorbitant fees, poorly vetted candidates, lack of transparency, and feeling of a purely transactional relationship. We take a different approach.
After years of refining hiring practices at One Firefly, we realized how much the CI industry needed a hiring partner who understands the unique challenges you face. We built Amplify People to be that partner — not just to help you hire, but to help you build a top-notch team of genuinely talented people that fuels your long-term success. And just as importantly, we’re here to give you back time you can use to focus on business, family, and friends.
We promise we’re not just here to fill positions; we’re here to bring the right talent to your business. Finding people is one thing. Finding an individual who is aligned with your values, fits seamlessly into your culture, and is ready to help take your business to the next level is our goal every time. We follow a consistent hiring process 100% of the time, for all roles, to help deliver top talent for you to consider. We also partner with you to help define your organizational needs, offering guidance and insights to clarify the right type of role that will thrive within your team.
We approach each partnership with a consistent, proven process, tailored to meet your organization’s unique needs. Our focus on transparency and communication is designed to enhance what you’ve already built, helping your business become the best version of itself. By aligning our efforts with your established foundation, we aim to make an immediate impact on your growth and success.
To those who have partnered with us, thank you for trusting us. To those considering Amplify People, know that we care about you, your team, your clients, and your community, and want to see you succeed. Reach out to connect, and let’s talk.

Understanding the 3 Cs: What Motivates Top Talent to Make a Career Move?
The 3 Cs framework helps us understand what motivates each individual candidate to make a career move. Whether they prioritize a better culture, higher compensation, or a faster commute, knowing these key drivers is crucial for creating successful matches. Some candidates may prioritize cultural fit over compensation, while others seek a shorter commute or higher pay. The Amplify People process includes uncovering the complete picture of a candidate’s story to ensure we’re putting them in the best position for long-term employment.
It’s equally important for us to understand which of these 3 Cs are most important for your business, ensuring we align candidates who meet your priorities and help build the right team. For example, if you’ve found that candidates outside a certain radius from your office tend not to do well long-term, then you’re prioritizing commute over compensation or culture. By identifying these priorities on both sides, Amplify People helps bring you the right fit — motivated individuals who are ready to contribute to your team and culture.
The RIGHT FIT

Our Comprehensive Talent Solutions
for Your Business
Talent Sourcing
We specialize in talent sourcing tailored to the custom integration industry. Our sourcing process involves deep industry knowledge, proven hiring methodologies, proactive outreach, and a culture-driven approach to ensure strong matches.
Talent sourcing begins by partnering closely with you in an extensive discovery process, where we learn about your organization, culture, business goals, role and skill-set needs, and long-term vision for the future. Next, we’ll work to optimize job descriptions and create ads that resonate with the right people. We utilize a three-pronged approach to sourcing, leveraging targeted job sites, social media platforms, and our referral network built from daily interactions. This ensures your openings reach the most qualified audience, maximizing the chances of finding the perfect fit for your team.
During phase one of interviewing, we perform initial candidate filtering, qualification, and phone screenings to identify those top candidates who match your specific skill and compensation needs. During phase two, we take the top candidates from phase one and conduct in-depth interviews that go beyond the resume to identify those individuals who match your unique cultural and personality needs. When needed, we also provide reference and background checks for further assurance.
Our team keeps you informed every step of the way with weekly job status updates, given in your preferred form of communication (a phone call, Slack, video updates, email). We also conduct quarterly reviews to ensure our partnership is meeting your expectations. With Amplify People, you gain access to recruitment insights, analysis, and tailored recommendations, all designed to save you time while bringing the right people into your business.
Our goal is not just to check boxes and fill positions — it’s to connect you with A-Players who are motivated, aligned, and ready to contribute to your long-term success. With our culture-driven approach, Amplify People ensures that your hiring needs are met efficiently, letting you focus on other things that need your attention.

Unlike traditional recruiters, Amplify People understands the unique challenges of the custom integration industry. We use a consistent, culture-driven approach, focusing on skills and organizational fit to find top talent for long-term employment, not just a quick placement. Our pricing model is also more cost-effective, with a focus on building long-term partnerships rather than one-off transactions.
We specialize in the custom integration (CI) industry, serving both commercial and residential technology integrators. Our expertise and deep understanding of this industry enable us to bring you the best talent available.
We assist in hiring for a wide range of roles, from entry-level AV technicians to CAD engineers, programmers, project managers, operations managers, salespeople, and leadership positions. Our goal is to help you identify the roles that will thrive in your organization and find talent that aligns with your needs and culture.
Our hiring process starts with an initial discussion between our teams to determine if a partnership is mutually beneficial. If it is, we’ll move on to an in-depth discovery session where we learn about your business, culture, and talent needs. From there, we optimize your job descriptions and ads, then use a three-pronged approach to attract the right candidates through strategic ad posting on social media and job boards, combined with sourcing through our network of connections. Once we’ve identified top candidates, we’ll provide the initial screening and in-depth interviewing before presenting you with the top talent we believe will be the right fit for your team. Throughout the entire process, you’ll receive weekly updates to keep you informed every step of the way.

During our sourcing and interviewing process, we take steps to discover an individual’s story, motivations, and aspirations to ensure that candidates align with your values and work environment, which is key to ensuring a successful long-term partnership.
While DIY hiring is an option, it can take significant time, resources, and expertise.

"A-Players" are top-performing individuals who excel not only in their skills but also in their alignment with your company’s culture and values.

Our goal is to help you find A-Players who will thrive and contribute significantly to your business.
