WhoCo

Throughout my career, I've been annoyed with hiring processes that favor certain people over others without regard to skill. WhoCo is doing something about the problem in a really obvious, easy way, and it's so inspiring.

My manager is really here for me. We talk every week to find out what's going on with me and what's coming up, and she ends each call by asking what she can do to help me. When I'm struggling, she helps me figure it out—and likewise, she acknowledges when I'm killing it.

We have so many great perks that help us feel safe, sane, and healthy. Generous time off, programming to help our distributed teams feel connected, and a wellbeing stipend every year. (I used mine for a massage package.)

When joining a startup, it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Things move quickly and change often...WhoCo is no exception to that! But that also means you have the opportunity to involve yourself in different projects, work with different teams, and figure out where your strengths are. Since joining WhoCo, my job description has changed a lot, I've been pushed outside of my comfort zone and challenged, but this has given me the opportunity to learn so many useful new skills. I'm also fortunate to work with some of the brightest people I know. No day feels the same and I love that!

Because of how fast things can change there may be moments where you find yourself a little unsure or confused, but not to worry...our managers and leaders are always there when you need them. No matter how busy they are, I appreciate that they will make the time to check-in, ask questions, and offer support or advice. In fact, our executive team encourages us to reach out to them whenever we need to. Our managers are very passionate about what we do and the success of every single person on the team.

Job hunting is hard. Interviewing can be stressful. Hiring can be a headache. Technology can help organize the process, but in the end it's always about the people. And people can be...complicated. In addition to our awesome tech & data-backed platform, WhoCo wants to help humanize the hiring process and make it a pleasant, meaningful experience for everyone involved. Today's job market is more challenging than ever - and job seekers are more stressed & overwhelmed - people want to find happiness & meaning in what they do. Being able to help build teams that make the world a better place is very rewarding.

There's a lot of autonomy and empowerment to work the schedule that works for you; as long as you're getting your work done, you can flex your schedule to meet your needs. Very low stress environment in this regard and I feel like it makes me more productive, since I'm not just focusing on my hours worked but the actual content of my work. I really appreciate the flexibility and understanding of implementing your work schedule into your everyday life.

Everyone is really nice and friendly, very much willing to help each other out as best as we can, even if something is out of the realm of one's specific role. It is very much a team environment that celebrates and recognizes people for their contributions.

I appreciate that there are explanations given when changes are made, of why the change is being implemented along with some data to back it up. Leadership is willing to recognize if something is not working and work to find a better solution that they believe will be beneficial in the long-run, not just short-term.

We work on key projects in small, cross-functional "jazz teams" which encourage both momentum and really open collaboration across teams. We talk about "playing jazz" and believe that the best work output comes from everyone bringing their own melody and expert opinion to the table to jam on ideas.

We spend the majority of our lives at work, and our engagement with that work has a tremendous impact on our happiness and well-being. We arm professionals and companies with tools and perspectives to make these decisions effectively. We help people find meaningful work and companies build teams that move the world forward.
