A flat monthly fee instead of a new hire

A new hire costs more than the wage, and it takes weeks before any work gets done. Hired Hand is one monthly fee for finished work.

Hiring for the role

  • A wage or salary
  • Employer CPP and EI contributions on top of it
  • Vacation pay and benefits
  • Weeks of posting, interviewing and training before the work starts

Hired Hand

  • One flat monthly fee, quoted for your business
  • A free sample of the real work before you commit
  • Finished work each month, checked by a person before you see it
  • No payroll and no hiring process

Prices are quoted per business, so there’s no price list here. The 15-minute call and the sample are free.

If it’s done at a desk, we can probably take it on.

The rule is simple: if the work happens on a computer and can be checked before it reaches you, it’s a fit. Start with the role you were about to hire for, or the job that keeps getting pushed to next week.

Common examples

Something else on your list? Tell us on the call. If it’s a fit, you’ll see a sample. If it isn’t, we’ll say so.

A closer look

Social media content & scheduling

Instead of hiring a social media manager or coordinator.

  • We’re too busy to post.
  • Our feed has gone quiet.
  • We can’t justify a full-time hire for this.

Each month starts with a plan: what to post and when. We write and design the posts in your brand, with captions in your voice, and you approve every one before it’s scheduled. Your feed stays active without anyone on your team stopping to write.

What you get

  • A monthly plan for your feed
  • Photo posts, carousels, short videos and stories, written and designed
  • Your approval on every post, then scheduling at suggested times
  • Licensed stock or your own photos, with the source of each one recorded

Real estate teams in Alberta: posts are built to follow the Real Estate Council of Alberta’s (RECA) advertising guidelines, with the licensee and brokerage named and nothing misleading. Your brokerage still approves the final post.

Not included

Replying to comments or DMs, or anything live. Your team keeps those conversations.

Content writing

Instead of hiring a content writer or marketing coordinator.

  • Our website hasn’t been updated in years.
  • We know we should have a newsletter.

Blog posts, newsletters, website text and more, written in your business’s voice and ready to publish. The writing sounds like you and like here: plain language, your own service area and the details your customers look for, not generic copy that could be from anywhere.

What you get

  • Blog posts and newsletters
  • Website text and product or service descriptions
  • Edits until it sounds like you

Not included

Paid ad management. The writing is yours to publish wherever you like.

Office & admin support

Instead of hiring an admin assistant or data entry clerk.

  • Paperwork is piling up.
  • Our spreadsheets are a mess.

You send the raw material, and we send back finished files. Anything that looks wrong, like a missing figure or a duplicate entry, is flagged for your team to decide on.

What you get

  • Spreadsheets, trackers and data entry
  • Tidied-up records and organized documents
  • Reports and summaries

Not included

Anything on site, and anything live like answering calls. No bookkeeping or accounting.

What Hired Hand doesn’t do

Plain scope, so there are no surprises. These stay with your team or another professional:

  • Bookkeeping or accounting
  • Paid ad management
  • Live replies to comments, DMs, emails or calls
  • On-site work
  • Legal or compliance advice

How it works

  1. Book a free 15-minute call, by phone or video.

    Tell us what you were going to hire for, or what keeps falling off your plate. We’ll look at what that work would produce for you each month.

  2. We build you a free sample of the actual work.

    Real work made for your business, not a sales deck, so you can judge it before you spend anything.

  3. If it fits, one flat monthly fee. No hiring, no training.

    The fee is quoted for your business. Then the finished work arrives each month.

Not sure what you could hand off?

That’s a good use of the call too. Bring your to-do list.

Honest about AI. Particular about the work.

We use AI tools to work faster, which is how the price stays well below a hire. A real person reviews every piece before you see it.

Every piece, every time.

Based in Lethbridge, working across southern Alberta

Hired Hand is based in Lethbridge. Most businesses here are small, which usually means the posting, paperwork and writing land on the owner. That’s the work we take off your plate.

The work is delivered remotely, so businesses in Calgary and across Canada are welcome too.

Serving Lethbridge, Coaldale, Taber, Raymond, Magrath, Picture Butte, Fort Macleod, Cardston, Pincher Creek and the rest of southern Alberta.

Who’s behind Hired Hand

Stephan Paul

Founder

Stephan is a self-taught software developer based in Lethbridge. His work has included international programs that help military veterans and their spouses from Canada, the US, the UK and Australia move into tech careers, apps and tools built as a contractor, and, more recently, AI for infrastructure work.

He started Hired Hand because AI can now handle a lot of steady desk work well. With a person checking every piece, small businesses can get that work done without the cost and wait of a new hire.

When you book a call, you talk to someone who does and checks the work, not a salesperson.

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call or email and ask.

How is this different from hiring someone?

You get the finished work without the hiring: no job posting, interviews, training, payroll, CPP and EI, or vacation pay. You pay one flat monthly fee, and you see a free sample before you commit to anything.

Is AI work any good?

On its own, it can be hit or miss. That’s why nothing goes out unchecked. AI does the first draft quickly, and a person reviews and fixes every piece before you see it. The free sample lets you judge the quality for yourself.

Who actually does the work?

We do, here in Lethbridge, using AI tools. Every piece is checked by a real person before you see it. Your work isn’t passed off to an overseas team or a stranger.

Will it sound like us?

Yes. We start from your website, your posts and anything you share, and write in that voice. You approve the work and can ask for changes until it sounds right.

What if I need someone in the office?

Then Hired Hand isn’t the right fit for that part. All work is done remotely. Many businesses keep in-person tasks with their team and hand off the desk work.

Are you a virtual assistant? Will you answer our calls, emails or DMs?

No. We don’t do live work. We can draft replies and email templates for your team to send, but your team stays the voice your customers talk to.

Do you work with real estate teams?

Yes. Social media for real estate teams in Alberta is built to follow RECA’s advertising guidelines, with the licensee and brokerage named. Your brokerage still approves the final posts.

What kind of work can you take on?

Most desk work that can be checked before it reaches you: social media, writing, admin and data, reports, research and documents. If you’re not sure, ask on the call. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a fit.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the work, so every business gets its own quote. As a guide, it’s well below the full cost of hiring for the same role. The call and the sample are free.
