Success Story: 12 Years in the Making

It’s always great to hear from people who have used your service over the years. After a recent email sent to our users, I was thrilled to hear from Doug, owner of PrinterShoppe, who hired someone on HireMyMom back in 2008.
Doug shares, “It has been about 12 years since I used your service to hire my first designer for my new business back then. And the FIRST Mom I hired as a Graphic Designer is STILL WITH ME! Janice was an unemployed Graphic Designer after the print shop she worked in for years closed down. At that time, Janice had a 4-year-old daughter and wanted to stay home to raise her. Because of HireMyMom, PrinterShoppe provided her that opportunity. Now her daughter is graduating high school this year! Janice still works with me and has been such a blessing to me, my business and our 15,000+ clients we have served over the years!”
Janice shares, “Back in 2008 when the print company I worked for 18 years closed its doors, it left me with no job and in an economy in a financial disaster. I was left in a panic, but I knew one thing, I wanted to try and work from home to raise my daughter. That is when I found HireMyMom, and back then there was not an abundance of help to find work from home. So when I came across HireMyMom.com, I was hopeful. Landing this job in 2008 and working for Doug, has provided me with the precious gift of staying home to raise my daughter and be there for all the special, memorable and even goofy moments. I also am able to take care of my aging parents, and even provide help to my neighbors and community.”
“HireMyMom.com gave me with the opportunity to get my name out there, and a chance to find work from home. I am very thankful for the opportunity, connections, and friendships it has brought me,” said Janice.
Thank you Doug and Janice for sharing your story and the impact HireMyMom has had on you and your business.

HireMyMom Success Story: Abbey Metz

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.
I was skeptical to sign up for HireMyMom as I’ve always used free Job boards like Indeed but I decided to give it a try. After I revised my resume, I started to apply to a few jobs that I knew I would be good at, some I had tons of experience in the related field and others I didn’t have any professional experience in. I made sure to write a cover letter for each job explaining why I would be a good fit. After a week, I had two rejections, so I was a bit discouraged and left it at that, but within the next week two more companies reached out for interviews! I landed a job as a social media manager with no experience doing this, and another job as an appointment setter!
What did you do previously?
I currently am an administrative assistant at a large commercial HVAC company. I did have experience doing this type of work remotely as well. I have a sales background and have always done various virtual assistant tasks for bloggers over the years.
What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?
Write a cover letter for each application explaining why you would be a good fit but be honest about your skills. Although I didn’t have experience in the fields I was hired for, I had many skills needed to complete the tasks and am a fast learner. But, I was still very honest about what I knew and what I didn’t!
What’s your favorite thing about HireMyMom.com?
My favorite thing about HireMyMom is the quality of job postings. You know there won’t be a bunch of scams to sift through and there are new postings very regularly. They also know you are a mom and need flexibility.
What’s one fun or interesting fact about you?
I love to paddle board at Lake Erie!.

HireMyMom Success Story: Tamlin Bruton

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.
I joined HireMyMom in November 2019 on a limb to find a work at home job. My husband and I knew we wanted more for our family than working 50+ hours a week to just cover child care. I quit my job to take care of our 4 month old at home and my husband was working two jobs and averaging 65 hours a week. Our dream was for me to find a remote job working from home to be able to continue to stay home and my husband to be able to take a new job offer from a different company. To be honest, we were both so nervous to take a chance and had a decent discussion about spending money on a subscription because that’s how much of a budget we were on.
After having no luck on other job sites, we decided to take the chance, and I am SO glad we did!! I checked HireMyMom multiple times a week if not everyday and applied to everything that I could. I made sure to follow up with companies, keep my profile updated, and utilize both a resume and cover letter. At the beginning of February, I heard back about the next steps of one of my applications for a work from home job, answering a few questions in a pre-recorded video for a company based out of Nashville, TN. By the next week I made it to the final rounds of Zoom video interviews for the same company.
I am so thankful to say that February 18th, 2020 was my first day at my new full-time remote job!! Less than 3 months on HireMyMom changed mine and my family’s entire life.
What did you do previously?
I have my BS in Psychology and a double minor in sociology and public health. I have previous experience in customer service, network marketing, sales, and health and human services. Many years of my professional experience is specifically in the mental health setting, providing skills training and case management to adolescents and families at both the residential and state level.
What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?
CONSISTENCY. Check HireMyMom as much as you can. Apply, apply, apply, to any job that you believe you could make an excellent hire for. It is easy to get discouraged when trying to find a new employment opportunity because it can take time, but stick to your gut and your dream for you and your family.
What’s your favorite thing about HireMyMom.com?
The accessibility and access to the jobs listed. HireMyMom is extremely easy to toggle through and makes the application process smooth.
What’s one fun or interesting fact about you?
I have watched The Office more times than I care to admit. That show is my absolute go-to!!

HireMyMom Employer Success Story: Ken Mahar

Tell us a little about your business.
Email Broadcast is a full-service email marketing agency that handles our clients’ entire email marketing campaigns—strategy, design, copywriting, automation, technology, and analysis. Very few businesses have the experience, skills, and people to run a successful email campaign. Sadly, what should be a major revenue source actually ends up costing them money on lost opportunities. Hiring our team of experts will help them win more business—which is why we take hiring the right people so seriously. We’ve been doing this since the year 2000 and we’re very good at it. We work with less than 25 clients at a time so we can focus on their success.
What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?
Read “Who: The A Method for Hiring” by Geoff Smart and Randy Street. It’s a game-changer when trying to find your needle in the haystack.
I was once told that a small business relies on the strength of its people, a medium business on the strength of its processes, and a large business on the strength of its values. That transition from people to processes can be one of the hardest jumps for a business to make, but it doesn’t happen at all if you don’t first begin with a strong team—or as we call them, “A” Players. If you have a current staffing problem or you’re just in the mood for a great business book, we highly recommend it.
What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?
Two things keep our team strong, the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen being one of them. We are obsessed with continual improvement—in ourselves and with our clients’ businesses. Each year we set goals for ourselves to master something new that benefits the team, company, ourselves, and clients. Complacency is the enemy. On the other hand, we have FUN. We know how to kick the dust up in all kinds of settings, all virtual, of course. And we love burritos… it’s our thing.
Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?
We hire long-term part-time contractors with the right experience. Many moms don’t need or want to return to a 40-50 hour week grind and the massive sacrifices that entails. When they see our ad about working from home with zero commute, utilizing their skills, being part of a championship team, and an opportunity to contribute financially to their household – they are very interested. In short, it’s the perfect target audience for us.
We’ve been using HireMyMom for years and have found some great candidates that fit our team culture. Our job postings pretty much say it like it is on what we’re looking for… and what we’re not looking for. We hired one of our recent team members a couple of months ago through HireMyMom—a stellar addition to our burrito-loving gang of A-player marketing experts. She soared through her training and hit the ground running, already proving she’s ready for a promotion. She’s not only handling her own clients but is now managing the onboarding of new clients—and that’s a serious (and sometimes daunting) load of work. HireMyMom has helped us find our best team and we’ll continue using it as we expand.

HireMyMom Success Story: Maria Fuentes-Archilla

Tell us about you and your experience on HireMyMom.
We moved from South Florida to North Carolina almost two years ago and absolutely love it. We moved with the intent of a lifestyle change and that I could be a stay at home mom. Now that my kids are older, I’m hoping to find work from home so that I could still be present but feel productive. I am SO glad I gave HireMyMom a chance! After just one week, I found multiple jobs that interested me. I’m thrilled to have received two offers and have accepted a position! Very excited about the work I’ll be doing and best of all I won’t have to sacrifice time with my kids. The fact that I get to work from home while still being present for my kids is a huge plus. I will definitely be using your services again in the future! Worth every penny!
What did you do previously?
I worked 12 years for local government in their Communications and Marketing Department. I have experience with copywriting, social media and project management.
What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?
Check for openings daily! I came across one I really loved and have already had an interview and a skills assessment. Hoping it works out but if not, I’ve already gotten two other offers!
What’s your favorite thing about HireMyMom.com?
The employers know you’re a mom looking for virtual work from the beginning! I found it to be less overwhelming than other career job sites!
What’s one fun or interesting fact about you?
I used to photograph weddings!

HireMyMom Success Story: Heather Swain

Tell us a little about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.
After a hard season of life, I decided to try and find a job where I can bring in some extra money while still being home with my son and not have to pay the insanely high costs of childcare. I saw an ad for HireMyMom, and I felt drawn to the site. Within my first day using the site I had two interviews scheduled and my first day as a VA is tomorrow!
What did you do previously?
Patient Advocacy. I have no previous experience as a Virtual Assistant. I have worked remotely on occasion at other jobs I’ve held, but nothing long term. I truly believe customizing my cover letters to mention how my past experience related specifically to each job I applied for helped me. I applied and also reached out via email to the contact listed on the job posting. The first job I reached out to this way is now my current employer! I fully believe that a customized email or cover letter and providing some information about yourself and your goals was the game changer for me!!
What is your top tip for landing a gig on HireMyMom.com?
Personalize your cover letter and always follow up. I think it’s so important because so many websites don’t provide that email contact information, and I believe if you have it, it’s worth reaching out to them to show you’re not only interested but that you’re willing to take charge and take a risk!! It can be scary to reach out to someone you don’t know, but it can come with big rewards as well!
What’s your favorite thing about HireMyMom.com?
That the employers are looking for help from women who are looking to better themselves and their families and understand the balancing act we take on as working mothers, especially those of us working from home.
What’s one fun or interesting fact about you?
I’m studying to become a certified aromatherapist.
