Our Founder's Journey

After 20 years in various industries, Vanessa Lowe recognized a critical gap in the recruitment industry: the sole emphasis on technical skills at the expense of emotional intelligence and cultural fit.

Frustrated by seeing talented candidates mismatched with companies where they couldn't thrive, Vanessa founded Hire Power Co in 2020 with a mission to transform hiring through emotional intelligence.

With the help of EQi assessments, Vanessa brings a unique ability to read people and understand organizational dynamics. This insight, combined with deep expertise in BC labour laws, creates a powerful advantage for our clients.

"Our goal isn't just to fill positions," Vanessa explains. "It's to create lasting, productive relationships where both employees and employers can grow and succeed together."
