On using HireMyMom's Concierge service:"We were very impressed with all the candidates for different reasons. Thank you so much for working with us on this! It was one of the best experiences and so worth every penny! We will definitely be back when we need to grow our team again."Hannah Moore, CFP
"I was very wowed by the applicants and how quickly we received responses. It was a seamless experience with a lot of great candidates - it took time to narrow it down and making those final decisions. Overall, HireMyMom, provided an easy and effective system. It's definitely a great platform, and I've recommended it to a few moms I know who may be looking for work or looking to hire someone to work for them. Thanks again for all of your help and considerations throughout this process."215Rentals LLC
"Just wanted to write you a quick note and say that this concept may be the most innovative thing I've seen in years. Kudos to a company that supports moms who want to be both professionals and professional moms!"
Jennifer Martin
"Thanks to HireMyMom.com, I now have more work than I can handle...and I have to cancel my subscription as I just can't take any more job offers at present."
Deborah L. Bryner
"I want to say thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your site and find employment. I have been on the search for a work from home job for about 2 years or so now. I joined your site on March 21st and on March 23rd, my birthday, I was contacted for an interview. I got my official job offer on March 29th, just a week later!! I was hesitant and following HireMyMom for about a year before I actually took the leap. I wish I had done so sooner!"Chyna Roberts
"I was laid off from my office job when my first baby was 6 months old. I didn't know what to do! All I knew was that I didn't want to commute 1hr+ each way anymore, but I also knew bills had to be paid. I found HireMyMom and had several interviews almost immediately. One of them was absolutely PERFECT for me. I think I've had maybe 5 or 6 clients now! I'm so impressed with the quality of jobs I've found. I can't thank HireMyMom enough!!"Rona Prestler
"Since Fall 2007, I've been seeking a freelance graphics designer to help me with several ongoing projects for my medical practice. I tried everything – asking other vendors, searching the internet, posting jobs on other sites, etc. to no avail. My assistant happened upon your website and I posted the job. Within 24 hours of having my posting approved, I began receiving e-mails from many obviously talented, very highly qualified people. In fact, it was extremely difficult to make a decision with all of great candidates!"

"Oh my goodness, what’s not to love? I started out on Hire My Mom in early 2017 to pick up some contract gigs. I ended up working with extraordinary online business owners who taught me to so much. I’d say my favorite thing is that when you apply for these gigs, you’re not lumped in with hundreds of other applicants – the applicant pool is just small enough for you to stand out!"Monique Muro, ProofMango.com

HireMyMom is NOT an agency. We are a platform bringing job seekers / Mom professionals together with small businesses and entrepreneurs seeking to hire them as independent contractors or W-2 employees. We are not a middle man and do not earn fees or commissions from either party. The hiring selection is completely up to the business hiring and the pay is negotiated between the two parties. HireMyMom is not involved in any part of hiring or the payment process. Unlike many of the job sites which charge 10-20% fees on every payment to the candidate.

A variety of jobs are posted in categories such as:
- virtual assistants / administrative,
- blogger / writers / editors,
- social media,
- graphic designers,
- researchers,
- accounting / bookkeeping,
- web designers / developers,
- customer service reps / sales,
- marketing,
- and more!
Some are full-time, some part-time, some contract / 1099 and some are W-2 Employee jobs. The majority tend to be part-time contractor / freelance jobs.
Take a look at some of the recent jobs posted here.
When a job is expired, it will show as expired and the “Apply for Job” button will no longer be visible. If this is the case, please do not email the business about their job post. Expired jobs remain on the site since interviews typically continue after a job has expired and candidates like to refer back to the job post prior to an interview.
Job Seeker
This is a very good question and one we are happy to answer! So why do we charge job seekers on HireMyMom? Here are the main reasons:
- Unlike most job sites, we do not take any commissions from our job seekers.
- What our Mom Professionals earn, they keep …. well except what Uncle Sam gets!
- There is a small fee to sign up which helps keep the number of job seekers to a reasonable size vs a “free” membership where you are competing with thousands of other job seekers and are virtually invisible to hiring companies.
- And if you are lucky enough to be hired by one of the “free” sites, you often will be paying 10-20% of your earnings back to the job site.
- So if you got a part-time job on a “free site” that takes commission from your earning and you make say $2,000 per month, you would be paying $200-$400 EACH month (10-20%) of that back to the job site!
- With HireMyMom, your subscription fee can typically be recouped in the first few hours of your new job.
- Businesses tell us they prefer to use our site because we do charge a small fee. When they post on “free job boards” they are inundated with hundreds or thousands of resumes and do not have time to sort through them all. One business owner told us she got 900 applicants in less than 24 hours on a “free” mega job site! On HireMyMom, she got 24 applicants. MUCH easier for a small business to handle! AND she said the CALIBER of the CANDIDATES on HireMyMom was heads and shoulders above. We think partially because we attract SERIOUS job seekers who put time and effort into their resume, cover letter and skills because they are READY to find a GREAT REMOTE JOB!
Here are some other reasons:
- Unlike many other job sites, we do not pull job ads off of the internet.
- All jobs on HireMyMom are posted BY the employer and in most cases these jobs cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.
- We aim to keep HireMyMom 100% scam free. Each job that is posted goes through our approval process. We research the company / person, look for negative reviews and other red flags before deciding if a job will be posted to our members. And there are many that do not pass the test and do not get posted.
- By paying for a subscription, we also weed out non-serious job seekers who will apply for any and everything making it harder for you to stand out in the crowd AND harder for the hiring person to weed through 100s or 1,000s of resumes. So you see, we aren’t trying to make a fortune off for you to apply to unlimited jobs. We are actually setting you up to find a job QUICKER and with LESS HEADACHE for both sides.

We are definitely geared towards helping moms. We’ve been in the “mom” market for over 20 years and that is our niche. There are lots of sites out there for freelancers in general that you may be more interested in. However, we do not restrict anyone from joining.
There are a lot of factors to consider on whether you will get a job on HireMyMom or any place you apply. Those factors include your relevant skills, training and experience and how well they match the job.
In addition, it will depend on your cover letter and resume and if they are done in a professional, eye-catching way that gets the employer’s attention. Another factor to consider is how well you interview.
In addition, it depends on how actively you search for jobs. We recommend daily or every couple of days as some jobs are filled in 3-5 days if the hiring person is in a hurry. Those candidates who only check occasionally, have much less success typically. And not surprisingly, those who put the time and effort into the job search, have the most success.
To help you be as prepared as possible, we have several articles on our blog to help in each of these areas. Check some of them here: https://www.hiremymom.com/blog/category/resume-cover-letters

HireMyMom.com does not have any part of the application or selection process from this point on. The client may ask for samples of work and / or references, etc. which you would send directly to them. We designed Hire My Mom to be VERY easy to use for both our Mom Professionals and our business clients. There is no middle man. It’s quick, easy and streamlined.
If you decide to cancel your membership, you may log into your account and click on “My Subscriptions”. Once there, you can click on “Cancel” to cancel your membership.

To renew a previous account, log in to the website and then complete the form to select the membership package you would like.
The hiring company will pay you directly. It is up to the two of you to agree upon an acceptable wage and timeline to get paid. You are responsible for setting up acceptable payment methods and checking the company and person out with the www.bbb.org, sitejabber.com, LinkedIn, etc. HireMyMom.com is not involved in the payment process. And unlike other sites, we do not earn a percentage of your fees or earnings. What you make, you keep. Well except for what Uncle Sam is entitled to.
Businesses create an account to post jobs. Job Seekers sign up to view and apply for those jobs. Once a business posts a new project or job to Hire My Mom, it is reviewed by our staff to review its legitimacy and once approved, it is posted in the members-only area. Job Seekers may log in to view all active projects and apply directly to the hiring company.
We have had members find jobs the first week of joining. Others have taken several weeks. A lot of it depends on (1) how actively you are pursuing finding a job — we recommend logging in DAILY as some jobs are filled within a few days because the hiring person needs help asap; (2) how qualified you are for the positions you are applying for, (3) how good your references and resume are, and (4) how well you interview and meet the expectations of the hiring employer.
Actively pursuing multiple job leads will maximize your chances of getting a job quickly. This means devoting as much time as you can to your job search. Don’t be discouraged if you do not find the right job or project right away. Be persistent and continue to pursue those opportunities that match your skills and background.
