Success Story- Mia

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom

I just gave birth January of 2024 and am exclusively breastfeeding. I could not go back to my job as a hairstylist because we had no one to watch our daughter and hiring someone we did not know or placing her somewhere was NOT an option! I knew I absolutely HAD to get a job from home. I needed something flexible as I am always needed with my daughter being breastfed and still so little. I have searched since February for a job. I found this website someone on FB told me about. I couldn’t swing the monthly payment but I did the free 3-day trial and applied real quick in hopes someone would reach out to me. Well surely enough just this past week I received an email from one of the positions I applied for during that 3-day free trial. I completely forgot about it and surely enough I got offered the position!!! The best part is, is that it is perfect for what my family needs right now!!! So thankful for hiremymom! Thank you Jesus!!! 👏🙏👏

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

HireMyMom was an upgraded experience from the start! I was impressed with the obviously curated collection of employers and opportunities, particularly compared with the grind of the standard job sites. I also noticed how much more responsive employers were, probably in part because they, too have a select audience. I am delighted to have found the perfect job at the perfect time thanks to HireMyMom!

Concise resume, personal note with application, find, connect with & message the hiring manager on LinkedIn

Employer Success Story- Marty Stevens-Heebner

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Be patient, be respectful and ask a lot of questions. Remember that each step of the interview is part of the hiring process. How swiftly do they respond to your emails? How’s their spelling and grammar in those emails? Potential hires should be on their best behavior to get you to hire them and, if they disappoint you during the hiring process, it will only go downhill if you hire them.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Be respectful and remember to say “please,” “thank you,” and “I’m sorry,” when the latter is necessary. You set the tone. Also, you need to strike that delicate balance between keeping in touch but not micro-managing. In the beginning, there’s always a learning curve. Once your new hire shows they have a good grasp of what you want them to accomplish, trust them.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

Another business owner raved about HIreMyMom so I knew I had to try it out – and I did so, successfully.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Be patient with others – and yourself. Mistakes will happen. Correct things and keep moving forward.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Chronic depression runs in my family and I consider learning to manage mine as a huge success. One doesn’t conquer chronic depression. I had to dig down deep and figure out how to handle my own responses to events, and how to make sense of them. My life is full of contentment now, and the fulfillment I feel now is hard-won and transformative.

Employer Success Story- Justin Silver

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Have a very specific vision for what you’d like your remote team member to do. Also have scheduled check ins to make sure they are supported.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Don’t over do it with the zooms and google meets. Virtual fatigue is real and requires that teams take the necessary time off each day to stay hydrated and focused. Start your meetings with a 5 minute break every once in a while to give the team time to decompress.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

I heard great things about the platform from a friend and fellow entrepreneur.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Even people who are senior to you are just people. There is no need to be nervous when talking to anyone, they’re all just people.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Creating an exciting company with an amazing co-founder!

Success Story- Kandi Johnson

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

I signed up with Hire My Mom last month when I signed up for The Savvy System. I’m an experienced virtual assistant, and really appreciate the resources that are available through Hire My Mom. The positions are fully vetted and real positions with reputable companies.

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

Be honest about what your skills and experience are (not what you hope to have experience in or just dabble in) and sign on every day to review new posts. Also have a clear resume prepared and do compose a thoughtful cover letter.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

Set boundaries with your family, create personal time away from work, and have a work space that is defined as yours that you can enter in with a mind/body ready to work and step away from to help disengage your mind (otherwise you feel like you are working 24/7).

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Being flexible and willing to learn has brought me the greatest experiences!

Employer Success Story- Judy Schramm

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Get crystal clear in your own head about what you want your new hire to accomplish, down to specific tasks, a 90-day onboarding and training plan, and how you will know they are successful at the 30, 60 and 90 day points.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Over-communicate, especially during the first month.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

We usually use LinkedIn to hire, but for this specific role we thought there was a better chance of finding the right person on HireMyMom.com. We placed an ad to run for a week, had three applicants and hired two of them. The process was so smooth and effortless. We are delighted with the caliber of talent that is available through HireMyMom!

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Obstacles make you stronger.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

My kids, who are amazing and have brought great joy into my life.

Employer Success Story: Petra Wintner

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

This tip for me is true whether you hire remote or on-site talent, but for remote talent it is actually easier to implement: Before you actually hire, do a clearly communicated trial period. This period should be paid, but the expectation on both ends should be clear, that only after the period a decision for hiring is made. Depending on what you are hiring for this can be anything between a week and 2-3 months. There should be clearly defined goals/deliverables to be achieved during this period and the working mode should already resemble the future work mode.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Create communication channels that resemble an “office environment”, e.g. a Slack workspace, which can be used for questions as you would ask them walking over to a colleagues desk and set clear rules and expectations around the use of these communication channels: e.g. I might not look at my emails for the better part of a workday, because I batch my email-time, but I check messages on Slack immediately and try to answer asap.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

Because we are a service for parents/mothers and I was looking for someone with marketing experience, who understands the target group well. The “part-time working mom” is in my opinion an ideal employee profile combining high caliber with interest in working part-time and is therefore ideal at the stage of my business, where I cannot afford to hire a full-time resource, but need someone with experience, who can work independently.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

I was lucky to start my career at a small company, where my contributions were more visible (to both superiors as well as clients) right from the start. While for me, it was coincidence, I would actually recommend, purposefully considering small businesses for a career.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

That – at least so far – I managed to lead a life, where I was always content with my career and private life balance.

HireMyMom Success Story: Nicole Smith

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom

Once I decided I was going to change my career path to work from home, I spent the time creating my account and really being mindful of my skills and what I’m able to offer others. I checked in daily and applied for jobs as they came through. I did a few zoom interviews with some very nice people. I was lucky because within a few weeks I had a part-time job offer which actually turned into a full-time job within about a month. I’m now able to work from the comfort of my beautiful home office, no more fluorescent lights 🙂

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

My best advice for landing a new gig is to spend the time really filling in your profile and don’t be afraid to show your personality. Also, finding a job isn’t going to happen overnight, so patience is needed. Don’t be afraid to reach out to the career coaches and other resources to help you.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

The transition can be a little scary and stressful so make sure you have good organizational skills and processes in place, that will make the transition into your new normal much smoother.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

I’m VERY introverted and this journey has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone but that’s ok because it’s worth it.  I am actively searching for more opportunities as well!

HireMyMom Success Story: Lauren Gamboa

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

I quit my full-time job as a bookkeeper two years ago when my youngest child was born. I recently joined Hire My Mom and have found several leads! Though I haven’t landed a bookkeeping position quite yet, I have been hired to do some web research.

I’m making great money and working when and however much I want to. All while staying home with my kids! This job has allowed me to get my foot in the door as a work-from-home mom. Plus, my membership has more than paid for itself and have found several leads!

 

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

My top tip is to check every single job post. Even though I’ve been specifically looking for bookkeeping jobs, I landed a job doing web research because I checked every single one. Have an open mind and you might find something great that you’re qualified for!

 

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work-from-home journey?

Not everyone finds success when trying to start a freelance business on their own. When you’re first starting out, instead of putting all your focus on branding yourself and finding clients on your own, check the job boards for remote positions and apply to as many as you can. The key is to just start and get that money coming in!

 

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Definitely becoming a mom. Raising my kids has made me grow in so many different ways. I can’t imagine life without them!

 

What is something about you that many people don’t know?

One of my goals in life is to be bilingual. I study Spanish every day and I’m currently at the intermediate level. I hope to become fluent one day!
