How a home service owner built HireBus

HireBus was founded in Denver in 2021 by Brandon Vaughn, a second-generation home service owner, and Rick Breden, PhD, an industrial and organizational psychologist.

Thirty-three years of two people

Brandon Vaughn's father cleaned windows for thirty-three years. For most of them the company was him and one other employee. It was a good living and it never got any bigger, because there was never a way to add people he could trust.

Brandon took over his father's window cleaning business in 2012 and grew it past seventy employees in six seasons. Adding crews meant building a hiring process he could repeat, while keeping the business running.

That experience shaped HireBus. See how HireBus works.

The reason the hours matter.
“I've been in home services my whole life and had a window cleaning, pressure washing business that I scaled up to about 70 employees. My dad was an owner-operator window cleaner for 33 years, literally just between him and one other employee.”
