“I love my new job at this Houston Family Practice! I think the people here appreciate me for the passion I have for the healthcare industry. Now, I wake up and think, ‘I’m so excited about going to work.’” Kenya works in a busy office. They take anywhere between 20 patients in the morning and 20+ in the afternoon. Kenya says, “The people at my last job were leaving the company left and right, and it concerned me. I called Ann, a recruiter at Hire Priority, and told her, ‘I’m tired of giving my best and not feeling appreciated.’ Within days, with the help of Hire Priority, I found a job at a Houston healthcare clinic that appreciated me.” Most days you’ll find Kenya taking vitals, giving injections, helping with exams, removing stitches, putting stitches on and much, much more. She loves being able to help patients. Kenya says, “Feeling the satisfaction of helping someone when they feel bad motivates me each morning.”
Matthew C. had been ready for a career change for six months. After graduating from the University of Idaho with a Finance degree, he was working as a tax accountant for over two years. “I was at a large company where 50 other people did the same exact job as me. I wasn’t being able to interact with people and needed something more stimulating,” Says Mathew.
He had been searching for another job for months, but hadn’t found what he wanted. Matthew says, “I stumbled upon a friend who worked in apartment leasing and it sounded really intriguing. He suggested that I contact Hire Priority Apartment Staffing. They offered me a few temporary assignments to try out, and within a few short weeks, I had the full-time job that I loved!”
Matthew runs marketing and leasing for an apartment community in Austin, TX. “I get to interact with an abundance of people every day. I feel like I’m needed here,” he says. Mathew is interested in growing in the industry. He says, “In a few years, I’d love to be a property manager. I really enjoy it here; it is nice doing something that matters. It’s encouraging to know that I’m helping people every single day I go to work. I’m happy to be at a place I love.”
“I was diligently applying and never hearing anything back from hiring managers. It was extremely stressful and frustrating knowing I was very qualified for a job, but couldn’t receive a response,” says Cody. “Hire Priority took that stress and frustration out of the equation,” he says. “I was able to tell them exactly what I was looking for and they went out and found it for me, and I’m pretty picky!”
Cody briefly tried other staffing agencies before working with Hire Priority. He says, “Hire Priority definitely took the cake on this one. Their service and the way they operate are very efficient!”
“I’m extremely passionate about what I do now. It doesn’t feel like work anymore,” Cody says. “It’s the way the office is run and the style of management: it fits me perfectly.” He says with a laugh, “We cook each other breakfast a few days a week…we’re a team. As cliché as it sounds, we really are a team.”
On the first day Dana moved to Austin, Texas from her home state of North Carolina, it was well over 100 degrees: the overwhelming heat and homesickness, made her think twice about the change. Looking back at her decision, she smiles and is grateful for how things worked out. Dana has created an extraordinary life as an Austinite and a rewarding career as Regional Marketing Manager. After spending a period of time as an Austin apartment manager, she was recruited by Hire Priority Apartment Executive Search. They orchestrated her transition to a new marketing position with one of the leading property management companies in the country.
Dana graduated from the University of North Carolina at Asheville with a Business Management degree, but marketing was not her focus.. She says “my new multi-family marketing career was challenging in the beginning, but the training and tutelage helped me progress quickly. My boss wanted me to succeed and that parallel encouraged me to push harder. Eventually, my knowledge of property management marketing and passion for people, enabled me to help my team members reach their potential.”
A few years ago, Shannon returned to Houston, Texas after pursuing a teaching career at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. She realized teaching wasn’t for her, changed careers and became an executive assistant for a surgeon.
Shannon heard about Hire Priority through a friend and was planning to call them. She said, “one day my boss started yelling at me again, so I just picked up the phone and made the call. I was surprised. Within fifteen minutes of our meeting, a recruiter from Hire Priority called me back and I had a job interview! Two weeks after meeting with Hire Priority and one year after starting my job search, what I had been longing for actually happened. I was offered a new job.”
Shannon received another surprise that same day: “My boyfriend proposed to me. It was truly the best day of my life. In one day, I received both professional and personal transformations that would change my life forever.”
