HILLWOODCOMMUNITIES.COM
Every lifestyle community that we create is informed by five principles.
Beyond each home is a well-built life, designed to creatively invite you to explore. Jump on a trail that takes you on a nature adventure, or simply to school. Pick a park for play or for meeting up with friends to watch the game. Support the local bake sale. Fire up the outdoor pizza oven for a BYOB block party.
DEVELOPER of the YEAR
Each lifestyle community by Hillwood begins with a deep dive into the land and local culture and is the result of close, respectful collaboration with local stakeholders at every step. We oversee all aspects of the development process: from market research to securing capital and development agreements, to guiding design teams and curating the right mix of homebuilders and community life programs.
Through a culture of innovation and an interdisciplinary approach, we stay curious about what matters to people now, and to those who follow. Our craft is the rigorous pursuit of better solutions for how we live, work and come together.
We create vibrant communities that are designed for more ease, connection and joy — a certain Hillwood hospitality, influenced by our Dallas, Texas roots, that creates extraordinary experiences for our customers, partners and stakeholders. Because at the end of the day we believe that if we do right by people and the planet, the rest will take care of itself.

DENTON, TEXAS: WHERE THE LAND LEADS... TO EVERYTHING.
Situated just inside Denton city limits north of our award-winning Pecan Square and Harvest communities, the Hunter Ranch property has been in the Perot family since 1987. This 3,200acre property will soon be home to our largest and most ambitious community to-date, and will become the central element to an extensive park plan that will serve as the anchor to more than 1,000 acres of parks, trails, and green spaces.
JUSTIN, TEXAS: LIVE IN THE TREES.
Past a small thicket and over a flowing creek, there’s an idyllic spot to settle down. A serene plot of land where the branches of mature oak trees dance in the Texas breeze and honeybees zip between wildflowers. A welcoming community where good land and good people make a good place.

The Top 3 Recruiting Strategies for Warehouses in DFW from Local Staffing Experts
8 years ago, KP Staffing hit an inflection point.
Nathan Doran, president of KP Staffing, shifted their focus from events to light industrial staffing, and it was time to rebrand and rebuild.
The team put their nose to the grindstone, and now, 8 years later, they've grown by over 1,000%, from 2 branches to 8 across DFW and one in Houston.
In this article, we’ll explore the top 3 recruiting strategies they use to fill warehouse positions in DFW.
1. GET SOCIAL
79% of candidates use social media for job seeking, according to GlassDoor, and 94% of recruiters use platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, to reach candidates, according to Zippia.
However, tasking a small recruiting team with juggling multiple social media channels can ultimately backfire, Christine Doran, the head of marketing at KP Staffing, cautioned.
It’s common for recruiters to spread themselves too thin, managing every social media platform
at once, resulting in a watered-down, ineffective presence on all of them, she explained.
"If I had to choose one platform, I'd start recruiting with Facebook," she said. "Facebook groups are a helpful tool for reaching thousands of warehouse candidates, since there are well over 100 job groups in DFW alone, and many of them have thousands of members."
Every KP Staffing branch has their own Facebook page, which is managed by someone from that branch, in order to keep the information relevant to their audience. Recruiters then share their job posts with all the local DFW job groups.
“As a staffing agency with a local marketing department, we luckily have the resources to manage several platforms effectively and tailor our approach to DFW. But if you have an in-house recruiter, it’s probably best for them to focus on one or two platforms," she said.
2. TARGETED MESSAGING CAMPAIGNS
Targeted messaging campaigns can be a highly effective strategy for warehouses to leverage their database of job seekers, when done well.
According to Christine Doran, KP Staffing targets
PAGE 4 DFWFAVORITES.COM
DFW candidates by location, job preferences, and skills.
And the numbers speak for themselves – KP Staffing has a 50% average increase in foot traffic on job fair days after sending targeted messaging campaigns.
"Personalized, targeted messaging helps us maximize our existing database, which has over 111,000 candidates, rather than jumping straight to the job boards where money evaporates," she added.
3. HARNESS YOUR DIGITAL REPUTATION
Managing your online reputation is crucial for attracting top talent to your warehouse.
Employee testimonials, success stories, and Google reviews all help candidates know which companies they want to work with
KP Staffing leveraged their positive reputation in social media campaigns, website design, and marketing collateral, to distinguish their brand, contributing to their rapid growth
For local warehouses, gathering Google reviews from employees is a good place to start.
“We have hundreds of applicants tell us they found us on Google,” Yasmin Delgado, a KP Staffing recruiter, said. “We have an average rating of 4.8 with thousands of reviews, and that builds credibility."
By highlighting a strong reputation, companies
can attract top talent and stand out from competitors
"A strong digital reputation draws in candidates and makes them proud to be a part of your team," said Macee Brotherton, a recruitment marketing specialist at KP. "We make sure our online presence reflects our core values –transparency, improvement, and empowerment – which is important for building a strong brand."
IN CONCLUSION
At the end of the day, there's no secret sauce that solves all your recruiting challenges
The only way to know your strategy is working is to look at the candidates you're attracting.
"The proof is in the people we bring in," Nathan Doran said "And I'm proud of our team's dedication to bringing in the best. The people we have now really embody our mission –'Building up our communities by empowering people with the right career match.'"

He did, out of an Airstream trailer, and was soon making enough money it was clear a full-time business was needed. Today, the Hey Sugar has six locations in Texas and one in Oklahoma, selling retro-style candy and odd soda flavors.
