THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE HIRING A COMPANY
Because a polished website doesn’t always tell the full story.
In today’s world, it has never been easier to create a beautiful website, polished social media pages, professional logos, and impressive marketing.
And let’s be clear — AI is not the problem. We use AI too.
AI is an incredible tool when used properly. It can help businesses stay organized, communicate better, and create professional content. But what AI doesn’t replace is:
Experience. Knowledge. Accountability. Skill. Reputation.
Years ago, we often associated a professional online presence with a long-standing, experienced company. Today, a business can look established overnight.
Before hiring someone to enter your home, care for your property, or provide skilled services, take a moment to ask the important questions:
✔️ How long have you been in business?
✔️ How much experience do you have in this field?
✔️ How many staff members do you have?
✔️ Are you properly insured?
✔️ Are your employees bondable?
✔️ Do you carry WSIB coverage (where applicable)?
✔️ Are you licensed and properly registered?
✔️ Can you provide references or verified reviews?
It’s also important to do your homework. And just to be clear, we are not against startup companies. A lot of companies that are new to the industry have a lot of hustle and are willing to work very hard. Just make sure they aren’t trying to make a dollar off someone else’s back, they aren’t trash-talking another company, and that they can deliver on everything they promise. I was once starting out and looking for clients and did everything I could to establish a good reputation and excel in what I did. 
Unfortunately, in many industries, competitors may leave misleading reviews in an effort to damage another company’s reputation. At the same time, some businesses launch under names, branding, or logos that are very similar to established companies — which can make it confusing for consumers.
Take a few extra minutes to verify who you are hiring.
✔️ Double-check the business name
✔️ Verify contact information and websites
✔️ Read reviews carefully and look for patterns
✔️ Ask questions — reputable companies will gladly answer them
