Aperion Management Group Selects Two New Community Managers through Innovative Campaign

​Bend, OR – April 8, 2018 – Aperion Management Group, Central Oregon's first and only Accredited Association Management Company that specializes in Homeowners Association (HOA) management, has selected two new community managers from a wide range of applicants to join their team. The question, “What would you do if you were given an elephant?” was the first application question and led candidates through a series of innovative recruiting techniques that proved to be wildly successful.

Aperion, like many Central Oregon businesses, has been experiencing a narrowing talent pool for open positions while the opportunity to expand is ever growing.  It was decided that a training program for potential employees was the way to go and two positions were opened and advertised for one month in February. Applicants poured in and were led through a survey with fun, yet insightful, questions, then an informal meeting with an Aperion employee and finally, a standard interview with the executive team.

The two candidates that were hired by Aperion are now in their sixth week of work and are going through the one year training process to become accredited community managers. Michelle Shockley and Bryan Covey are Aperion’s newest employees: 
Michelle Shockley

For the last 6 years Michelle Shockley has worked in the travel industry, dedicating her time to helping others explore the vast corners of the earth in the maritime community. Growing up in Oregon, she inevitably decided to settle down in Bend. Shockley graduated from Portland State University in 2010 with a BA in Business and Communications. She is thrilled for the opportunity to put her skills to use with Aperion Management.
 Bryan Covey

Bryan Covey brings to his role at Aperion Management a varied background in hospitality, HOA management and customer service.  After earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Oregon, he started his career in the Central Oregon hospitality.  Later, he returned to college and earned a second Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting.  Having spent the last four years as a marketing associate in the restaurant supply industry, he comes to his current position at Aperion with a strong commitment to customer service and looks forward to working with you.

“We are thrilled to begin a training program for new community managers and plan to make this an annual program due to its first year success,” said Katie Anderson, Aperion Founder and CEO.
