Rookie – Lawn Care & Landscaping (Entry Level - Promote From Within)

Most job applications ask who you say you are.

This one looks at how you actually live.

Time is finite. Choices matter. We hire based on real behavior — not hype, not promises, not résumés padded with buzzwords.

If you’re serious about growth, responsibility, and doing work that means something, you’ll understand why this application looks different. Before proceeding, visit https://www.halftimehelp.com/careers to learn a bit more about us and the opportunity.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Halftime Help operates with a promote-from-within philosophy. We hire for character and attitude first, and we train the skills needed to succeed.

Because of that, every teammate starts as a Rookie — no matter their background, experience, or the role they may eventually grow into.

That includes teammates who may ultimately grow into:

• Individual contributor roles
• Supervisory roles
• Manager and leadership roles
• Specialized support roles (Customer Experience, Finance, Administration, Operations)

There are no shortcuts and no title-first hires.

Before anyone assumes supervisory, leadership, or specialized support responsibilities, they must first:

• Learn the Halftime Help standard
• Demonstrate reliability and coachability
• Earn progression through consistent performance

We do not promise fast growth — we promise clear standards. Those who meet them consistently advance.

Many teammates begin part-time and earn additional hours and responsibility through reliability and performance. Hours are not guaranteed — they are earned.

WHO WE ARE

Halftime Help is a coach-led, student-athlete–powered service company built on discipline, professionalism, and pride.

We don’t just complete work. We develop people through real responsibility, real coaching, and real standards.

Our entire system operates within one universal standard:

Do It Right

Do It Well

Do It Together

Do It Again

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY INVOLVES

Halftime Help provides professional outdoor property services throughout the South Denver metro area. This is a hands-on, physical, team-based role.

Depending on the day, season, and assignment, the work may include:

• Lawn care and routine property maintenance
• Landscaping, seasonal cleanups, property upkeep & snow removal
• Loading, unloading, and maintaining equipment
• Operating basic tools and machinery (training provided)
• Working outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Representing the Halftime Help brand on customer properties

Some roles may involve driving company vehicles once legally eligible and approved.
Rookie positions do not require driving.

This is real work, performed to a high standard, alongside teammates who rely on one another to execute safely, efficiently, and professionally.

We train how the work is done. We do not compromise how the work is approached.

THE ROOKIE ROLE (FOUNDATIONAL ROLE)

The Rookie role is the required starting point for every employee.

As a Rookie, your primary responsibility is to learn how Halftime Help operates and prove you can consistently meet the standard.

Core Rookie Responsibilities

• Arrive on time or early, prepared and ready to work
• Follow all safety, equipment, and SOP standards
• Support teams with loading, unloading, and jobsite setup
• Perform basic field tasks under supervision
• Maintain professional posture, pace, and conduct
• Communicate respectfully with teammates and customers
• Follow instructions carefully and complete tasks accurately, even when details matter
• Demonstrate coachability, effort, and a team-first mindset

Rookies are coached closely and evaluated continuously. Advancement is earned, not automatic.

CLEAR GROWTH PATH (PROMOTE FROM WITHIN)

Halftime Help promotes from within. Advancement is based on behavior, consistency, and demonstrated readiness — not tenure.

Once you consistently meet Rookie expectations, you may grow into:

• Individual contributor roles with increased responsibility
• Supervisory roles leading people and day-to-day execution
• Manager and leadership roles responsible for outcomes and developing others
• Specialized support roles (Customer Experience, Finance, Administration, Operations)

⚠️ Important: No teammate moves into a supervisory, leadership, or specialized support role without first graduating from the Rookie phase.

This ensures:

• Shared experience across the company
• Mutual respect between operational and support teams
• Leaders who understand the work
• Support roles that truly support operations

COMPENSATION, BENEFITS & INCENTIVES (SUMMARY)

Starting Pay: $16 per hour (hourly, non-exempt, overtime eligible)
Compensation Potential: $16–$30 per hour

The compensation range listed reflects compensation potential, based on current pay rates and role structures. Increased pay is earned through demonstrated performance, reliability, skill development, and growth into higher-responsibility and leadership roles.

All teammates are hired into the Rookie role at $16 per hour. Increased pay is earned as teammates progress through defined roles and demonstrate readiness for additional responsibility.

In addition to hourly pay, Halftime Help offers role-aligned benefits and financial incentives designed to reward consistent performance, reliability, and long-term contribution. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Retirement benefits (e.g., 401(k))
• Health-related benefits
• Cash incentives and performance bonuses
• Fuel or transportation-related perks
• Corporate wireless plan discounts
• Profit-sharing opportunities for eligible leadership roles

As teammates advance into higher-responsibility and leadership roles, opportunities for additional compensation and benefits increase in alignment with role, responsibility, and impact.
