“Amazing resource for working remotely”

Tiffany F.

6/13/21

This site changed my life and I wish that I had found it years ago when I first had my babies (who are now 7 and 4) but I wouldn't change the journey that we've been on and I'm just so grateful to have found it now. In the six months since I discovered the site, I've landed three of my four clients and while each of them very different, they are all legitimate and great to work with. I also have told many of my friends about the site, it's a game changer. Thank you for creating this amazing resource for moms and others looking for legitimate remote work.

“Few Options”

K P.

12/9/21

I signed up for Hire My Mom after reading the reviews on this site. I was disappointed to discover a very limited amount of job listings. If the good reviews pique your curiosity, I would suggest going with the lowest package which includes a 3-day free trial (hopefully, you do not get charged, please read the fine print). You can check out the listings for yourself before you purchase the subscription. On a couple of positive notes, canceling my subscription was very easy. Most subscription sites make it very difficult to cancel your subscription; this site was simple and straightforward. Also, I had a great experience with customer service; they offered a full refund and the owner seemed genuinely interested in helping job seekers find jobs in their particular niche. It just was not a good fit for me.

Hi Ko-Rely,

We have refunded your purchase. In response to your comment that we don't have many jobs, I think that you may be comparing HireMyMom to some of the mega job sites like Indeed and in comparison we do have fewer jobs but we also have fewer job seekers. We are told by both job seekers and employers that they prefer the smaller size because they typically get 10-30 applicants per job on our site instead of 1,000 or more on the larger job sites. That also means less competition for qualified job seekers applying for these jobs on HireMyMom.

We are a niche job site geared towards moms and small businesses so we do not attract large corporations or huge numbers of job seekers. If you have read our reviews on our website, you'll see many candidates have found incredible opportunities. However, we realize we are not a one-size-fits-all job site and honor your request for cancellation and to find a job site that better fits your needs.

We wish you much success in your search. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

“Jobs yes - everything else NO”

August 6th, 2019

While this site does seem to post legitimate job offers that are adaptable for work from home mothers... you are lucky if you ACTUALLY get to apply for them. The site has numerous glitches, the service is TERRIBLE and the once you cancel, even if it's just mere days into your membership - they take your money and run. They never answer the office phones, so technical problems can only be submitted by their email and it takes them DAYS to respond. They also do things like changing your membership without permission, which of course, costs you money. The site also advertises that it is a boutique for those who want to work from home - but many of the positions require travel and for you to be in the office at their location and still consider you a 1099 contract employee (which means you are taxed both as self-employed and then on income taxes - thus reducing your pay). You are better off spending your time, your money and your hope for working from home on other sites and freelance work. HireMyMom.com is nothing but a bait and switch to get your money!

Thank you

Hi Kelly,
I am sorry about the issues you had with your account, for your frustration and that we could not correct the issue with your resume prior to the job(s) you were interested in closing. As we mentioned in our email, we recently redeveloped our site to a new platform and in migrating 12 years of data (over 1 million files), we have had some migration and technical glitches that we are working through.

We respond promptly to all emails and voicemails either the same day or the next day and if you contacted us prior to the email we responded to, your original call(s) or email(s) did not get to us. Were you sending them through the “Contact Us” page? We did return your call but your voicemail was full which you apologized for in your return email to us. I’m sorry you found our service to be "terrible" but I can promise you it was not because we don't respond or care, it's because we had not received anything from you prior to the message we did respond to.

You requested a partial refund since you had some technical issues with your resume and my assistant refunded your payment fully for the period you had used so that it would not cost you anything for the time that you had problems with your account. We have not taken any of your money. I'm not sure what you mean by that or that we somehow are "bait and switch". I am a Christian and I do my best to operate my business with honesty and integrity.

As I mentioned in my email to you, we would be happy to give you a complimentary membership to come back and try the service afresh.

As for the positions requiring travel, the majority of jobs on HireMyMom are 100% remote but there are some job posted by businesses who are looking for someone local to have occasional meetings. We require jobs to be at least 50% home based to be posted on our site. You can review some of the recent job postings here: www.hiremymom.com/new-jobs and see that most are 100% remote.

We really do strive to have a great service for moms and small businesses to connect and create long-term virtual working relationships. We're not perfect and obviously our website is not with some of the technical glitches we've had with this migration. It’s true you can’t please everyone, but we certainly try. And we are very grateful that we have lots of happy members who have found great candidates and great jobs.

Once again our apologies for the technical issues you experienced and for the frustration. Let us know if we can set you up a complimentary account.

With apologies,
Lesley Pyle,
HireMyMom Founder / Owner

“Not many work from home jobs actually”

October 15th, 2014

Not many work from home jobs actually. If you are a mom that wants to stay home with your children then this is not the site for you. Also, once you cancel, even if it's two days into the 3 months you paid for... you are out. They keep the money and you cannot log in. More of a site for freelance workers. Ie graphic designers

Hi Vat. Each job seeker is independent so the best thing to do is to post your job (no charge) to our website. The applicants will apply directly to you if they have the skills you are looking for.

Question:

Does it cost to join "hiremymom"? i read one comment above that mentioned "3 months that they paid for." is this a paid membership for those wanting to work at home? Does it cost to join "hiremymom"? i read one comment above that mentioned "3 months that they paid for." is this a paid membership for those wanting to work at home?

Answer:

Hi Jan, Yes, it is $29.95 for 3 month membership for Job Seekers. Businesses can post jobs at no charge. I know that may seem backwards, but the reason for that is if we charged employers to post jobs we would have far fewer jobs available and an infinite amount of job seekers joining with very few jobs available to choose from. We allow employers to post as many jobs as possible to encourage more opportunities for our job seekers who are willing to pay the minimal $10 a month to get these job leads. As a result, our job seekers have a lot more opportunities to find legitimate, great work at home opportunities for basically the cost of a couple of Starbucks coffees. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions. Blessings, Lesley
