Our Start
HireEffect has been helping organizations across industries grow their businesses since 2007.
Jennifer Scott originally founded our company with one purpose: to create jobs by helping small, founder-led, and family-owned businesses leverage the benefits of enterprise-level recruitment strategies she had learned through years of experience in agency and corporate settings. She understood that most business owners and entrepreneurs are not necessarily experts at hiring or managing talent. So she decided to be the solution. Instead of simply checking skills off a list, Jennifer built her career on helping companies focus their hiring on not only skills, but also on aligning company culture and core values.
And she wanted to do more.
In 2018, Chris, Jennifer’s Partner in Everything, joined the HireEffect team, and we expanded our core services to include bookkeeping, payroll, human resources, accounting technology automation, business advisory services, and, of course, recruiting.
Since Jennifer graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program in April 2020, our team has more than doubled in size. We continue to help business owners get out of the back office and back to growing their business. We are responsive and proactive, and we know your industry. We are like having a business partner in your back pocket. We’re here whenever you need us.
Our Philosophy
Our Purpose (why we exist):
HireEffect™ exists to help community-minded founder-led businesses thrive and grow, creating jobs in the communities we serve.
Our Way (how we do it):
We help founders find freedom by combining expert services with the right technology to get business owners out of the back office and in front of their stakeholders. Our People First | Technology Forward approach allows us to combine bookkeeping, payroll, HR, recruiting, and advisory services with tools that reduce administrative headaches, drive process efficiency and effectiveness, and help our clients make meaningful progress.
Our Impact (the higher effect we have):
When business owners are free to focus their time and talents on pursuing their vision and why they started their business in the first place, they will inevitably make a positive difference in our society.
Our Conscious Business Promise (our values):
- We Put People First: We do whatever it takes to meet our commitments. We strive to always act for the greater good. We put our reputation before our profits. We value output, not hours put in.
- We Are Technology Forward: We leverage automation whenever possible. We strive for “Zero Data Entry”. We stay on top of the latest apps and add-ons. We add value that goes beyond expectations to make our clients’ lives easier.
- We Drive Change: We look for new ways to be more effective in our work. We strive for continuous improvement. We find solutions for every problem by asking the right questions. We create positive outcomes.
- We Embrace Accountability: We expect as much from ourselves as we expect from others. We strive to educate our clients to make the most of their time and to manage it carefully. We ask for help when we need it. We do what we say we’re going to do. We take responsibility for our actions, speak up, and look for solutions when there is a problem.
Our Process
We know that simply adding technology to a broken process only makes it a more complicated broken process. We put people first, learn how you do business, and work with you to build customized solutions to meet your needs.
