Growing Your Business with Data

Earlier this year, the BLOOM Bootcamp series kicked off with a presentation by Tannisha Fuentes, CEO and Founder of Your Employment Services, a boutique and tech-focused consulting firm in the City of York helping companies cultivate the talent they need to thrive. Read below for a Q&A with Tannisha with tips for small businesses on “how to grow their businesses with technology.”

Q: In general, what does your work focus on, and how do you integrate technology into your services?

Through Your Employment Services, I provide staffing support to businesses, including recruitment, temporary staffing, temp-toperm placement, and direct hire services. In addition to staffing, I offer consulting support to help businesses create customized workforce strategies, improve retention, and explore upskilling opportunities for their teams.

We use basic, accessible systems that businesses and childcare providers can adopt easily. Tools like QuickBooks, Gusto, and Wave help manage payroll and expenses, while platforms similar to ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and HRIS (Human Resource Information Systems) assist in organizing hiring records, employee data, and onboarding workflows.

Q: What is your recommendation for businesses that are not sure if technology can be used for their business?

Technology is evolving quickly, and staying up to speed is essential for long-term success. Even if your business has operated traditionally, integrating the right tech tools can make your operations more efficient and help you remain competitive. Businesses can use online tools for background checks, e-signatures, payroll, time tracking, and digital forms. Even simpler tools like Google Forms, JotForm, or Trello can improve workflow and reduce manual tasks. I recommend starting with one task that’s eating up time—whether it’s payroll, scheduling, or recordkeeping—and exploring a tool that can simplify that function. Staying relevant in today’s market often starts with adopting small but meaningful tech improvements.

Q: How would a business leverage YOUR expertise and services?

Businesses can leverage my support in two primary ways:

(1) Staffing Solutions – I help businesses find the right talent through direct hire, temporary, and temp-to-perm placements.

(2) Workforce Consulting – I assist employers in building strategies to retain employees, adapt to evolving workforce trends, and explore upskilling options.

Hiring doesn’t have to be intimidating. My mission is to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers, helping business owners find qualified talent and build strong teams. With the right support, businesses can grow confidently and sustainably. If a business owner is looking for help in hiring or keeping good talent, I’m just an email or phone call away.

Q: How has BLOOM supported you and the work you do?

BLOOM has been a pillar of support throughout every stage of my entrepreneurial journey—from the very first idea, through planning, growth, and expansion. They’ve provided access to resources, mentorship, networking opportunities, and even pathways to capital. BLOOM isn’t just a program—it’s a full ecosystem that supports the success of small businesses. I encourage every entrepreneur, especially those just starting out, to get connected.
