History
Established in late 2004 as RED Consulting Group, the founders (Rosa Olivares, Edith Molina, David Molina) initially set out to provide bilingual recruitment (direct hire) & consulting services (Latino cultural awareness trainings). What originally began as a conversation over a cup of coffee with a Portland nursing university official quickly turned into an opportunity to share our expertise. Utilizing our extensive contacts, breadth of relationships, and integrating our previous search committee experiences we began doing executive search services focused on assisting organizations doing extraordinary work recruit extraordinary bilingual talent. As an extension of the search committee, we provided all the job advertising, pre-screening, phone interviews, background checks and for the finalists one-on-one interview preparation. BilingualHire’s dedicated work catapulted tens of dozens of bilingual professionals into the professional workforce and most importantly helped expand our clients outreach into the largest and fastest-growing minority community–Latino community.
Through the company’s consulting services we proudly intertwined our personal stories, upbringing and latest demographics data to provide eye-opening trainings and workshops for a host of higher education, K-12 education, for-profit and non-profit organizations. The end result was a more informed and trained audience in Latino nuances and culture to respond. Our original goal was to be a premier bilingual recruiting and consulting firm.
In late 2006, the founders temporarily suspended operations due to First Lieutenant David Molina’s military service call for active-duty effectively shutting down their offices in Beaverton, Oregon. After the eighteen month deployment, Edith & David regrouped and restarted the company under the new name–BilingualHire. Immediately, David began offering career insight information, interview (podcasts), publishing a newsletter and being a resource to local organizations by posting local bilingual job announcements.
In late 2010, Edith & David expanded BilingualHire into a full-service bilingual staffing company providing temporary, short-term, contract, full-time and permanent staffing solutions. Joining the ranks of the Oregon Staffing Association and American Staffing Association, BilingualHire is proud to serve and promote the needs of bilingual talent and work towards the continued success and growth of our clients and partners.
