Why HAR
What Working Here Actually Means
These aren't promises from an HR brochure. They're outcomes that HAR people experience — the same way our customers experience solutions that are specific to their process.
Go Home,
Every Night
HAR was founded on work-life balance as a core operating principle — not a benefit to negotiate. You do your job, you do it well, and you get to live your life. That's the intention, from day one.
Set Up
to Succeed
With 550+ documented systems, every role at HAR comes with a clear map of what success looks like. You're not guessing. You're trained, equipped, and accountable — and so is the person next to you.
Experience Is Valued Here
Our sales team averages 20+ years in the industry. That experience is earned, respected, and trusted. HAR people are empowered to make decisions for their customers — we don't slow you down with unnecessary layers.
Part of Something Growing
HAR has grown — and is still growing. We're the #1 ITW Dynatec customer worldwide and a leading H.B. Fuller distributor. A growing business creates real opportunities for the people inside it.
Our Core Values
What We Stand For — Every Day
These five values replaced the standards that carried HAR through its first 25 years. They define what it means to be a HAR person, and they show up in every interaction — with teammates, customers, and partners.
Be Trustworthy
Honest, transparent, and dependable. You follow through on your commitments and speak up when it's necessary, even when it's hard. Trust builds the team and the long-term relationships that make HAR special.
Be Curious
Curiosity is how we got here and how we'll stay here. We explore new ideas, refine our processes, and find creative solutions. Curiosity is what makes this work interesting — and keeps us ahead.
Be Respectful
Everyone is valued for their work and their dedication. We treat each other and our partners with respect because it's the right thing to do — and because it cements the kind of long-term, win-win relationships HAR is known for.
Be Intentional
We begin every activity with the expected result in mind. Intentional action reduces random outcomes and increases the likelihood of success — the success we planned to achieve, not just stumbled into.
Be Customer Obsessed
Our customers are at the center of everything. Our promise to them: solutions and support beyond imagination. At HAR, we prioritize customers' long-term needs above short-term convenience — including our own.
These Values Are a Stake in the Ground
We put them here because they describe who we are and who we need each person who joins HAR to be. If they resonate with you, keep reading.
Who Fits at HAR
Honest About What We're Looking For
We're not writing a list of buzzwords. These are real descriptions of the people who have thrived here over the years — and what makes them succeed at HAR specifically.
You follow through — every time
Our business runs on commitments kept. If you say you'll call by Thursday, you call by Thursday. Customers and teammates count on HAR people to do what they said they'd do.
You're comfortable with accountability
HAR is a system-driven business. Every role has documented processes tied to it. You know what your job is, you're trained to do it, and you're accountable for it. That clarity is a feature, not a burden.
You take initiative — and communicate it
Our people are empowered to make decisions for their customers. That means you need to trust your own judgment and then let the people around you know what you did and why.
You're curious about how things work
Adhesive applications are technical. Understanding why a bond is failing, or what's causing line-speed problems, takes genuine curiosity. Our best people enjoy solving problems that aren't obvious.
You think long-term about relationships
HAR doesn't chase transactions. Some of our customer relationships are measured in decades. The people who thrive here build loyalty, not just sales.
You're proud of what you do
There's no commodity mindset here. We care about performance, about quality, about doing the job right. People who just want to move product quickly are usually a better fit somewhere else.
