Case study
Blackline Safety
The Challenge
Blackline Safety, a tech company manufacturing connected wearable safety devices, faced challenges in hiring employees to fit their culture, during a time of substantial growth. They had no HR team, little funds as a start-up, the tech industry was booming and there was high competition for finding candidates.
Blackline had 80 employees and $17 million in revenue.
Solution
Forge Performance Group used Blackline’s core values in the hiring process through building interview guides, and comprehensive job descriptions.
Some departments at Blackline used a behavior assessment tool to identify the right behaviors for specific roles.
Results & Outcome
- Cost Savings: Saved 1/3 of the cost to traditional recruitment agencies.
- Low Turnover: Maintained a less than 3% attrition rate.
- Culture Preservation with Significant Growth: Successfully preserved Blackline’s company culture while hiring over 250 positions over seven years.
We have continued to support Blackline Safety seven years later.

Group 10 Engineering
The Challenge
Group 10 had been very successful with hiring people for their team based on their network and who they knew. That network started to get tapped out and they needed help finding new people.

Solution
Forge Performance Group worked alongside their team to create a recruitment process specifically for their company.
We helped align the core values of the company to the interview process.
Understanding where they wanted their candidates to come from, building a sourcing strategy
Results & Outcome
- Cost Savings: Saved 1/3 of the cost to traditional recruitment agencies.
- Culture Preservation: Successfully preserved and enhanced culture and recruitment structure.
Forge has supported Group 10 since 2019.
