Students used to sit across from me and tell me how hard things were. Not dramatically. Just plainly. The money was tight, the résumé wasn’t getting replies, and the tools that could have helped sat behind a monthly fee they couldn’t carry.
I knew those tools. The typical solutions that job seekers are pointed to are built for people who can pay for them. For the person in front of me, they were out of reach.
So I did the work myself
I opened my own accounts on those platforms and used them to do the work on my students’ behalf. Check the résumé against the job. Find the gaps. Fix them. It worked. It was also slow, and it only worked because it was me doing it.
That is how ResumeMatch Pro started. I took what I had been doing by hand and built it into something a student could use on their own, at a much lower price than the tools I had been borrowing.
Then the business owners showed up
Small business owners began coming to me with the same kind of problem. Different life, same wall. The software that would have fixed their week was priced and built for companies far bigger than theirs. Too expensive, too complicated, or both.
And I noticed something about both groups. They were not asking for the whole solution. Nobody walked in asking me for software. They were asking me to take the boring, manual jobs off their plate.
Typing the same details into two different systems. Chasing the same follow-up. Rebuilding the same report every week. The small, mundane tasks that quietly eat the hours and leave no energy for the work that actually grows a business.
What I took from it
The problem was rarely “we need a giant system.” It was usually one task, repeated over and over, that someone was tired of doing by hand. When you fix that one task, people get their time back. That is often all they were ever asking for.
It also taught me that price is part of the design. A tool that works but sits out of reach is not a solution for the person who needs it most. The goal is not the most impressive build. It is the smallest tool that takes the work off someone’s plate, at a price they can say yes to.
How it starts
There is no big commitment up front. We begin with a free intro call, then a free discovery call, so I can understand how your business actually runs and where the hours are going. After that, you decide what comes next, with a clear picture of what the problem is and what fixing it would involve.
Most owners I talk to already know which task it is. They have been carrying it for months. They just never thought a tool built for their size of business existed. It does.
That is what HME Solutions is
HME Solutions builds custom tools, with the help of AI, that take manual back-office work off the plate of small businesses. Big-company tools, small-business prices. The same idea that started with a few students and a borrowed account.
If there is a task in your week that you do again and again and wish someone would simply take it, I would like to hear about it. Tell me what it is. It might be smaller to fix than you think.
HME Solutions builds custom tools like this for small businesses. See our automation services, how we work, or get in touch.
