Priority Job

Joint Priority

Hire a Part-Time Content Helper at Better Way HQ

We've kept this simple: a friendly local person, part-time, who's comfortable with Facebook and Instagram. They'd help film short videos around the office, take photos of the team, and post regularly to social. No experience or fancy video skills needed. This is what unlocks a steady flow of content from the business.

Agency Will Handle
  • Written the job ad (simple, local, no jargon)
  • Sent the posts to Lyle to share
  • Screen and shortlist applicants
  • Set up the phone, mic and lighting kit
  • Get the new helper up and running
Lyle's Part
  • Post the job ad on Facebook and locally
  • Spread the word around Shipshewana
  • Meet the shortlist and approve the hire
Website Task

Adding Human Faces to the Website

Visitors want to see who they're trusting with their home. An up-to-date, friendly photo of each team member with their name and a short bio (professional and personal) makes Better Way feel real and approachable before anyone picks up the phone.

  • A good, current photo of each team member who's willing to be featured
  • Their name and job title
  • A short bio: what they do at Better Way, plus something personal (hobbies, family, how long they've been in the trade)
