Community Support
Hiregy extends its ability to connect exceptional people to the community. We serve on local boards, participate in fundraisers and speak at events that allow us to expand our network of exceptional connections. We’re honored to support the following organizations.
Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay
Bill Fries, Hiregy CEO, chairs the board of the Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay (NLCTB). NLCTB provides our community with resources to support the development of nonprofits, including staff education and training, coaching, and online resources. NLCTB plays a critical role in developing and supporting Central Florida's effective and sustainable nonprofit sector.
Operation Career Wear
Our Director of Client Relations, Shaun Androff, started an organization called Operation Career Wear. We collect gently used professional clothing from businesses all over Tampa and donate them to Volunteers of America and Metropolitan Ministries. The clothes are distributed to less fortunate individuals who are interviewing for jobs and have a need for professional clothes to look their best.
The Centre for Women
Nicole Palmieri, Hiregy Director of Client Services, volunteers at The Centre for Women. She works closely with Alice Thompson, Employment Services Manager, to assist the organization's clients with developing the professional and personal skills needed to secure and maintain employment, including resume writing, job hunting tools/tips and interviewing skills. The Centre for Women is dedicated to assisting clients through community-based resources and keeping them abreast of job market attitudes and trends, and possible job opportunities.
HR Tampa Workforce Readiness
Hiregy's Bill Fries also serves on the Workforce Readiness Committee of HR Tampa. With the help of Chair Cheryl Brown of GTE Financial Credit Union and other dedicated committee members such as Kim Boulahanis of Health Integrated and Debbie Erdahl of Boys and Girls Club, this committee has built an employment lab at Metropolitan Ministries and launched an HR Internship Program with the partnership of Hillsborough County Schools for High School students. In addition, they help transitioning members of the HR community and educate business leaders on the importance of Human Resources in their organizations.
