Quietly Replacing Underperformers Without Disrupting Your Business

It’s a familiar situation for many business owners and managers. You’ve got someone on your team who isn’t quite failing—but they’re definitely not thriving. Maybe it’s a technician who’s fallen behind, an admin who’s missing details, or a warehouse worker who’s just not dependable. You’ve coached, waited, and hoped things would improve. But performance hasn’t changed.

The problem is, letting someone go without a plan in place can leave you shorthanded and scrambling. That’s where a smarter, quieter strategy comes in.

At Momentum Hiring Solutions, we call it stealth replacement recruiting—a proactive way to find the right person before you make a move.

What is a Stealth Replacement?

It’s a confidential search that allows you to quietly identify and screen candidates to replace a struggling employee—without disrupting your current team or daily operations. This gives you full control over timing, transition, and fit.

Why Companies Use Stealth Replacement Recruiting

• Minimize downtime and avoid productivity gaps
• Protect morale and prevent internal drama
• Make hiring decisions on your own timeline
• Avoid rushed or poor hires made under pressure

This isn’t about secretly firing someone—it’s about making sure your business stays fully staffed with the right people, without exposing your team or customers to instability.

How the Process Works

1. You identify the role or employee that needs improvement
2. We begin recruiting quietly, without naming your business or sharing details
3. We present you with pre-screened, qualified candidates
4. You interview discreetly and decide when to make a transition

A Smarter Way to Lead

Stealth replacements help business owners and managers lead without chaos. You’re not leaving your team exposed, and you’re not stuck hoping for a turnaround that may never come. Instead, you’re making a plan, taking action, and protecting your company’s momentum.

If you’re dealing with a low-performing employee and can’t afford to take a step back, we can help.

Momentum Hiring Solutions specializes in hiring for skilled trades, warehouse, drivers, construction, and administrative roles. We’re not a staffing agency—and we don’t believe in expensive markups. Our flexible, project-based recruiting model lets you get the help you need, when you need it.
