When Time Is Tight, Trust Is Everything: How FTS | Flexblue Staffing Helped an Engineering Firm Staff Up Fast and Deliver on Their Contract

When a longstanding client landed a major project, they knew exactly who to call. The challenge? They needed to staff up fast with qualified talent and couldn’t afford delays. The client had bid on a job and won the contract. They were confident in placing the bid because they knew FTS | Flexblue Staffing would deliver, and they would be able to fulfill their contract on time.

And deliver they did.

FTS | Flexblue Staffing stepped in to fill seven specialized roles in less than two weeks, giving the client the workforce they needed to meet their contract obligations. 

“Because we’ve worked with them for years, we already knew their culture, their workflow, their team preferences, and the specific skills they needed,” Sierra Davis, Recruiting Manager at FTS | Flexblue Staffing, said. “We didn’t need a deep discovery call. We could hit the ground running.”

A Partnership Built on Familiarity and Speed

FTS | Flexblue Staffing had already placed a wide range of roles with this client over their four-year relationship, from project managers to technicians to business development professionals. This long-term engagement enabled the FTS | Flexblue Staffing team to operate as an extension of the client’s management team.

“We’ve worked closely with their hiring managers across different departments. That level of intimacy with a client’s needs is what gives us—and them—an edge,” Davis said. “We anticipate their busy seasons. We know what personalities will succeed in their environment. That’s how we’re able to respond so quickly when something urgent comes up.”

The Confidence to Say “Yes” to Opportunity

Because of that trusted relationship, the client was able to confidently pursue and accept a high-stakes contract, knowing FTS | Flexblue Staffing could meet the staffing demand. 

“Without a dedicated internal recruiting team, trying to fill these positions on their own would have been painful,” Brandon Smith, FTS | Flexblue Staffing President, said. “But they knew we had the team, the tools, and the expertise to get it done.”

FTS | Flexblue Staffing’s support didn’t just save time—it likely saved the contract. “Our client was able to say ‘yes’ without hesitation because they knew we’d step in and handle it,” Smith said. “That’s what we do best.”

Expansion Through Trust

The impact of FTS | Flexblue Staffing’s commitment doesn’t end with one project. Because of the trust built in one regional office, another client has now brought FTS | Flexblue Staffing into support locations across multiple states.

“This isn’t just about one placement,” Davis noted. “It’s about understanding a company so well that our support scales with them. We’re now working with this client in Houston, Denver, Florida, and beyond.”

FTS | Flexblue Staffing’s approach—prioritizing long-term relationships over one-off transactions—creates a seamless experience for their clients. 

“Even if you don’t need to hire today, building that relationship with us now puts you in a position to move quickly when you do,” Smith said.
