Vinehouse Hiring

Mary Anne Redmond - Company Owner Wealth Management

It’s about 10 days since I’ve hired two new employees by way of all the help from Vinehouse. Those two persons are already demonstrating that they’re bringing skills and qualities that are super-on-target for the team. The outcome is so much better than anything I even had in mind, at the start. The Vinehouse team worked carefully to honor the character qualities and skills I’d indicated would be most suitable for the 2 roles. They welcomed feedback from me. They kept persisting without wavering; they kept refining and doing whatever they do, with an attentive depth that has produced remarkable results. They fielded thousands of resumes. The truly appropriate candidates emerged.

Peter Jacobson - Accompanist

Recently I was offering a workshop for singers in London and was looking to hire an accompanist at the last minute. I contacted the Royal College of Music and they sent the job description to their pool of accompanists. Eventually I ended up with several qualified candidates and was at a loss about who to choose. Since the workshop was only days away, I called Nancy in a panic. She calmed me down and helped me come up with several key questions to help identify the best person for the job. I did exactly what Nancy said and the candidate I went with worked out perfectly. If she was that helpful for a one-off job like this, I can only imagine how indispensable she will be for much bigger jobs. I will definitely be using Nancy and Vinehouse for all my future hiring needs! Peter Jacobson, Director of Total Vocal Freedom

Jeremy Chance - Operations Manager

“I knew very little about how to hire, and have made some pretty expensive mistakes along the way. Nancy had a great ability to focus me on my need. The first thing she did was interview my best worker to find someone who could actually work with me well. We worked on goals, how to search, who to search and what I really wanted them to do. We found a great candidate, and I feel safe in knowing that if he doesn’t work out, Nancy will still be there to find a replacement. That feels safe - if you are like me, take my advice and spend the money on Nancy’s excellent service. It’s an investment in speed, efficiency and ultimately better profit performance. A wrong hire is way more expensive than Nancy!” Jeremy Chance MD, BodyChance

Vinehouse's demystifies the process of skillfully screening candidates. She then presents descriptive detail on the ways a person fits a role or the challenges they may introduce as part of a team.

Luc Cisna - HR Director

Nancy and the Vinehouse team are such a pleasure to work with! I was fortunate to work with them first as a recruit for a position they helped me secure, then as an HR Director when I partnered with Vinehouse to support our company's recruiting needs. They have a unique approach to recruiting that blends effective use of SEO tools to attract the right candidates, managing a pipeline of candidates, genuine human interactions, efficient scheduling, and thorough interviews. The team really does not overlook any detail from the job description keywords and accurate job titles on postings, to the type and progression of interview questions, and even hand-written, encouraging, congratulatory letters. Whether you are a job seeker, or business leader needing help attracting top talent, Vinehouse is a company that gets the job done right. Thank you for all you do! Luc Cisna

Christopher Blair - CFP Blair Financial Planning, Denver

We first used Vinehouse in 2013 to find our Administrative Manager. We found the process to be very simple and we were able to find the perfect candidate out of a large pool of applicants. Because of this hire, our firm doubled in size and required us to hire a new Administrative Assistant. We contacted Vinehouse again in 2020 and found their process to be even better than before. Vinehouse’s process is elaborate and diligent yet required minimal effort on our end. They determined our very specific needs for the role and were able to fine-tune their process to only return the best candidates. Out of over 2000 applications, we only had to interview one candidate, who ultimately was offered the position. She has been the perfect fit to our team. We have now found two incredible candidates out of very large pools of applicants. Because of this success, we will continue to use Vinehouse for all of our future hiring needs.

Herb Jones - Chief Marketing Officer, Fracture. fractureme.com

The Vinehouse team truly helped Fracture find a needle in a haystack. We were looking for a Director level position with many technical and soft skill requirements and we could not be happier with the leader they found for us. She's been an incredible addition to our team both from an execution and culture perspective.

Scott Alberts - Scott Alberts, CEO, Voiceplace, Inc.

Working with Vinehouse was like a dream come true. They took one of the most painful aspects of our business..hiring...and did ALL of it for us. Their "Done For You" process has saved us so much time, and aggravation. We don't need to comb thru hundreds of resumes and set up endless interview appointments anymore. They are really experts at what they do and have found some amazing team members that really fit our culture.

Nancy and her team have been phenomenal at their job. I would have never figured out who I really needed to hire for the position, if not for them. We went through many kinds of questionnaires, to make sure we attract only the right kind of candidates and when that was done, they did even a more detailed job of interviewing them and leaving us with a few exceptional candidates to choose from. I’m very excited to get started with my new employee and all this thanks to their team!

Keith Edmunds - Tiger Computing Ltd.

We were stuck. We needed a new employee and were having great problems finding the right person. Nancy made some suggestions, some of which were a little radical for us, but we went with them anyway. Result: we have an excellent new employee. If you're having problems recruiting the right people, I'd recommend talking to Vinehouse.

Benji Rabhan - NY Times Best Seller & CEO of MorrisCore Inc.

Vinehouse changed the course of my entire business... and helped preserve my sanity! After years of wasting time and energy on hiring bad-fit team members — costing hundreds of thousands of dollars — everything has flipped for the better since hiring Vinehouse. Now, every hire we've made has been exactly what we were expecting. The best part was that they handle all the parts I don't have time for — even the interviews. Vinehouse is and will always be an integral part of our hiring process.

Julius Park - Crazy 88 Martial Arts

I consulted with Nancy over 6 months to help me expand my gym business. Up until that point, I was hiring friends and family members but eventually hit a roadblock where I wasn't able to hire qualified employees to deal with the growing demands of the business as we opened up more locations. Nancy helped me define the roles and tasks that each position required and also create a hiring system. She essentially helped us create our very own HR system for a small business. On a personal level, she provided guidance on how to be a manager and deal with different types of employees. Thank you Nancy!

Normally, when we needed to hire, I would say to everyone: "Does anybody know someone who is interested?" and I would chat to them for 5 minutes. It wasn't very successful. We'd come to the end of where we could get people through our systems. We had got to the stage where we didn't want to advertise and didn't want to bring in anyone. The Job Centre has made it so difficult to put an ad on their site – we got 20 CVs and nobody turned up for an interview. We didn't want to put an ad in the paper – it cost £250. I thought we might as well employ Vinehouse instead and I'm glad we did. The system worked really well. The advert they put in attracted the right sort of people we were looking for. The screening process got rid of people who weren't really interested. The application form and telephone interview told us a lot about the person before we got to the final interview. We were only looking for 1 person; we interviewed three and took two of them on.

Dale Ringerwole - DC Grand Rapids

I wanted to send you an email letting you know how much I've appreciated working with Nancy Slessenger to bring on board my new Director of Client Services. In the past, I've overseen and ran the process of hiring my staff, with limited success. By contracting with Vinehouse, the hiring process was a great deal simplified, and bottom line, I was able to hire a new Director of Client Services who had both the technical skills, and a personality that also meshed with our office culture. It's been a month since she started, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Another part of the process that I really appreciated is the ongoing consulting that Vinehouse provides to make sure that over the first year the relationship continues to improve by making sure that I'm giving the correct feedback to help my new hire grow in effectiveness as time goes on. Bottom line, I’ll never hire someone on my own, I'll be using and recommending Vinehouse in the future. All my best, Dale.

Bryan Todd - President, Perry S. Marshall & Associates

The Vinehouse recruiting system has now helped us through two significant hires for our company (and another key one in process now!). In each case the hire has taken our business to a better place. The recruiting method is rigorously 80/20 and has saved us massive amounts of needless work, it has helped us clarify our own needs and our own culture for our benefit and that of our candidates, and it has brought to light the strengths and weaknesses of every applicant we've considered, so that when we make the final decision we know exactly the kind of person we're bringing on board. We're sold on Vinehouse. We would not and will not hire any other way.

Donny Wyatt - Founder and CEO, Co-construct.com

I hated recruiting and hiring. Actually, I was scared of it. And that had become an impediment to our growth. The Vinehouse team was key in giving me a different, systematic way to approach developing job descriptions, posting them, screening applicants, and doing the hiring. I'll never wake up every day yearning to recruit, but, this is no longer a persistent stumbling block. We've now got a great team of people and continue to rapidly expand — with multiple years of 50-100% year-over-year employee growth.

Brady Roberts - President & Co-Founder, iCapture

Prior to working with Vinehouse we had done some hiring ourselves and we had stumbled across one person who turned out to be really good. The next time we posted a job it seemed like the number of applications just wasn't coming in and it didn't seem like we were getting the type of applicant and we needed. We ended up going with the best one. That was a total failure. We ended up trying to train someone we never should have trained or hired. At that point we were just scared to stick our neck out to hire because we felt we didn't have the necessary tools to do the hiring properly but we needed a couple of new people on our team to manage the growth we had going. So we worked with Vinehouse. We were really just going after one new employee, but we found two great people who have helped us grow – our growth has been 60% year on year. What it's really done is allowed people in our company to spend time on things they are good at and less time doing stuff they are not good at. So using this hiring process to find the right new employees has helped us in a pretty big way. It's helped take a lot of the evening and weekend stuff off the plates of our main team members and has really created a better environment for everybody. We are just starting on the next vacancy and are using Vinehouse.

Dr Dave Nicol - Veterinary surgeon & Practice Owner

Before I met Nancy, I used to hire like everyone else. I'd write a boring advert and try to attract as many people as possible. And when I think back to my interview technique I cringe. The result of this guesswork was shown up in both my PL account and stress level. What Nancy did was to help us implement a streamlined and scientific process that saved time by putting off the bad candidates long before I could interview them. She also taught me how to conduct effective interviews, so I became very good at spotting who was right for my business. The results were explosive growth in both revenue and profit and transformation of team culture. I cannot recommend highly enough and will be forever grateful to Nancy and her team.

Alec Day - Owner Jewelry Tools

Alec needed to hire people into his warehouse
Normally he and his team spent up to 30 hours searching through 100s resumes
After diligently searching through resumes he usually found somebody, but whether they would stay long term or do the job well was questionable
We set up a process so that he now only sees a few qualified candidates for a final interview
Now he is able to identify in 45 mins if the final candidate can do the job
We have done the same for his sales roles and customer service positions

In Alec's words... Working with Nancy and Vinehouse in our hiring process has completely transformed the way we hire new employees and has made the process extremely simple and 100 X more successful than our previous frustrating efforts. In our previous hiring process often we would hire a candidate we through was the best candidate only to find out in their first few weeks of work that they were very poor at the job they were hired to do. I highly recommend anyone who is not thrilled with their hiring process to call Vinehouse and make all their hiring problems disappear. I have referred several of my friends and colleagues to Vinehouse all of whom have had the same experience as I had. The time and resources that go into a single hire have been reduced from up to 100 hours per hire down to a handful of hours with much better results.

Paolo Lencioni - Partner, APL Accountants, Brisbane, Australia

Paolo needed another accountant for his very busy practice
He had had a few problems finding people who carried out the role to his exacting standards
We identified the key behaviours and values of the person he needed
His new employee did not come across well at interview but is great in the role

In Paolo's words... I get this warm fuzzy feeling when I think that our competitors will be taking on the candidates we didn’t ... just because they have good resumes! It’s what we would have done before.
