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.

Full Stack Ruby on Rails Engineer – (REMOTE)

This is a rare opportunity to join our team at the beginning of a new mission, as we look to redefine how people find and buy homes on a national and eventually international scale. We are rethinking today’s generic home search experience and creating a set of next-generation tools that will help millions of people around the world find and buy their next home and help their agents to deliver a great user experience. To achieve these ambitious goals, we’ll be keeping things simple and transparent in the product design, code, and team. We believe that simple can be hard, but simple is worth the effort.

It’s important to us that work is as enjoyable and drama-free as possible. Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows, but we’ve got each other’s backs, and come together to help each other when we’re unsure, stuck, or facing adversity. We like making well-reasoned decisions and making them quickly. We don’t particularly like too many meetings, but we love working together to figure things out. We’re laid back with each other, don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laugh (probably more than we should), but we ship awesome, well-documented, and tested code, often.

Our team is made up of experienced, talented people who see opportunities where others may not. We understand that innovation comes from experience, experimentation, iteration, taking smart risks, and rejecting the idea that the status quo is the only or best way to solve a problem. You’ll be challenged by big ideas, and have the opportunity to influence a product that truly impacts one of the biggest decisions in people’s lives in very real ways. We are picky about our code. We want our codebase to be readable, maintainable, performant, reliable, and well-tested. We encourage use of language features to make code more readable, not overly clever. We aggressively, but nicely, code-review each other. We learn from each other, and push each other to get better.

We believe that delivering value outweighs how many hours you work or where you work. In our eyes, the best performance and outcomes come from focusing on our personal and team growth and development. We provide a flexible work schedule, generous vacation, a relaxed work environment, and opportunities for professional growth and development. You’ll never be asked to come into an office.

About you:

  • You are motivated by working on hard and challenging problems rather than showing up just to check boxes.
  • You are driven by building a world class product and better user experience
  • You are passionate about team culture and delivering products
  • You want to help those with less experience than you improve and grow
  • You relish the opportunity to work with a product team, other engineers, customer success and customers to ensure a surprisingly awesome customer experience.
  • You ask a lot of questions and love spirited yet professional debate, knowing it improves outcomes. You are comfortable navigating uncharted waters within the company.
  • You are motivated by creating your own path to delivering value and taking full advantage of personal empowerment.
  • You understand how to balance scope of work with execution, and believe that continuous improvement is a way of life.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver awesome, fun, engaging, and reliable solutions.
