Hey Lieu

The story of Hyre (formerly Hey Lieu) begins with the entrepreneurial journey of its founder, Derek Shaw. While building his first successful venture, Moving Proz, Shaw faced the universal challenge of scaling a business: the overwhelming burden of administrative tasks and the difficulty of finding reliable, cost-effective talent. Determined to streamline operations and reclaim his time, he began experimenting with remote staffing solutions, eventually developing a system that allowed him to delegate critical functions without sacrificing quality.

Realizing that other business owners were struggling with the exact same bottlenecks, Shaw decided to turn his internal solution into a service for the wider market. What started as a strategy to optimize his own moving company evolved into Hey Lieu, a dedicated agency connecting businesses with top-tier global virtual assistants. Now rebranded as Hyre, the company leverages AI-enhanced talent and rigorous vetting processes to help organizations across various industries—from landscaping to logistics—scale efficiently. Today, Hyre stands as a testament to the power of delegation, empowering leaders to focus on growth while their remote teams handle the rest.
