“As a small business owner, I often need temporary or part time contract work performed in a pinch. I have reached out to Smart Moms three times and have been very satisfied. They presented several screened and qualified candidates each time. I was very satisfied with the contractors and continue to work with some still. I will certainly use Smart Moms in the future.

“Garla is an extremely personable and well-trained presenter who delivers expert content. She did an excellent job of researching topics and understanding her audience in order to provide timely, relevant information. She was the highest rated presenter and workshop leader at the 2013 Council for Women Statewide Displaced Homemaker Program. I enjoyed working with Garla and would highly recommend her to organizations seeking an engaging business presenter. Mary Williams-Stover NC Council for Women”

“I met Garla in the late 2000’s and listed Smart Moms on teddslist.com because they were a locally-owned independent business. When it came time to hire some local team members, we reached out to her. She made the process super simple and streamlined. We had an in-depth conversation about what type of team member we were looking for and she did all the heavy lifting. She has a huge network of very talented, stay-at-home moms + dads, and simply had to put out the message of what we were looking for, then sort through the ones that would be the best fits. After that, she did 2-3 interviews with them, filtering down to 2-3 candidates for us to interview. The candidates had been filtered and selected so well that it took us one phone interview and one face-to-face interview to make an offer! The time and energy not spent by us in this process was able to remain focused on the business instead of the adding of team members, and is highly recommended for other business owners who are looking for remote / stay-at-home moms + dads to help them in growing their businesses!

Her extensive knowledge in staff recruitment including application, contractual agreement, job posting, and interviewing skills was instrumental in helping us recruit a quality staff within less than 2 weeks. Garla is very skillful at connecting and engaging potential candidates at a level that transcends the norm and is extremely effective and professional.

“We used Smart Moms for our recruiting in early 2019. Garla’s services were invaluable to us. She vetted all candidates based upon some very specific parameters we provided, and narrowed our search down to three very qualified candidates. We hired one of the candidates, and couldn’t be more pleased. Garla’s services were worth every penny we paid. We would recommend her and will definitely use her services again, should we have a hiring need. Deanna Brocker Brocker Law Firm ”

“Thanks so much for your help. Three of the candidates were all perfect for the job and it was hard to choose between them. The fourth candidate was not a good fit just because she doesn’t have the software. She was very professional about letting me know that she was not a good fit for the job. The candidate I chose will really help me. I’m very impressed with how quickly everyone got back to me and how professional they were. Thanks for providing this service.”
