Kansas City, MO (October 10, 2025) – NAEDA is proud to announce a new collaboration with TSSI Recruit to help members attract and retain the talent they need to run their businesses profitably.
After leading Sunbelt Rentals’ Western Region General Tool talent acquisition team and building their strategic recruiting initiatives, Tim Koirtyohann has joined forces with the 20+ year-old, London-based TSSI Recruit to launch a North American vertical focused on regional and small equipment dealers.
This initiative is dedicated to helping NAEDA members hire the right people to succeed in today’s competitive market.
Open positions slow down sales, delay service, and put extra strain on your team.
With more than 2,500 successful hires and a 93% retention rate after the first year, TSSI Recruit connects the heavy equipment industry with people who get the job done.
The Real Cost of an Open Job
An empty seat is more than a headache; it’s a hit to your bottom line.
- Drivers: An open job can mean a 300% increase in outside hauler costs each month, even if the role is vacant for just one day.
- Service Technicians: A position open for 45 days can cost over $40,000 in lost revenue.
- Outside Sales: If your sales team generates $5M–$10M per rep annually, being down a rep for 60 days can mean $830K–$1.6M in lost revenue.
That’s where TSSI Recruit comes in. Their focus is speed and precision.
TSSI connects you with mechanics, technicians, parts managers, sales reps, service leaders, administrators, and executives, the people who keep your business running profitably.
Their model not only helps you hire faster, but also reduces short-term turnover, a major disruptor for any business.

Heroes to Hire: Bringing Veterans Into the Industry
TSSI is proud to run Heroes to Hire, a U.S. Department of Defense program that helps Service Members in their last six months of duty transition into civilian jobs.
Many of these veterans are trained mechanics, operators, and leaders who bring discipline, reliability, and hands-on skills to the table.
Here’s how it works:
-
Service Members complete a 30- to 120-day internship at your company.
-
They gain civilian work experience while you train them on your equipment and systems.
-
The Department of Defense pays the Service Member’s wages during the program.
Benefits for employers: Lower training costs, reduced turnover, and a proven way to bring motivated, military-trained workers into the industry.
