You may be wondering how my hiring process differs from what a homeowner might do when looking for someone to work on their home. I’d like to share how I took what I learned from my experience interviewing candidates in tech and applied it to this business. My goal is to find the best handy professionals to support me, my family, friends, and customers.

The name of my company came to me during the pandemic. I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur, and my passion had always been around hiring. At Amazon, I had been a Bar Raiser, an entrusted steward on interview loops for teams across the company. When I was on maternity leave, I realized I enjoyed that role more than my day-to-day program manager work. So I started my own company, helping job seekers and hiring managers improve their interview skills.

The name Hire Possibilities struck me because it was never meant to be limited to interview skills. It’s a play on my experience in hiring and the possibilities that open up when you hire the right person or land the right job. And Higher Possibilities? The opportunities are absolutely endless.

From managing sorority properties at WSU and UW to owning my own home and rental property, I’ve worked with many vendors over the years. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the handiest person, but that’s why I’m so intentional about finding and vetting the best talent to take care of my properties.

Along the way, I’ve noticed some major red flags when working with new vendors—things that are an instant turn-off. These are things you will never have to deal with when working with the handy folks at Hire Possibilities.
