We Are Driven By Values
We have a passion for creativity and a commitment to excellence. We believe great work comes from a great work environment and a strong set of values.
What this means: We bring a positive attitude to our work. We trust that by working together we can solve any problem. We support each other best when we fully embrace our differences and respect our diverse perspectives and experiences.
How can I apply this?
- Take care of yourself first, so you can support others.
- Show appreciation for others and celebrate their wins.
- Propose solutions; don’t oppose ideas.
- Set your own expectations and boundaries around work and help others to uphold their own.
What this means: We fully embrace the boldness of our ambition. We dare to come up with new ideas to achieve it.
How can I apply this?
- Think BIG, without restraints—even if the idea seems impossible at first.
- Have the courage to propose wild ideas and discuss them openly. Never hide your creativity!
- Encourage others to be bold as well: build upon their ideas and ask them how they would 10x your own.
What this means: We all recognize and focus on what moves the needle to achieve our mission. We own the outcome of our work and do whatever necessary to improve it.
How can I apply this?
- Prioritize your work based on the impact it has on our users (talent and employers).
- Make decisions to move projects forward independently. Don’t wait for approval on every step.
- Bring topics to the team for input, help, and discussion, and document your work.
- Use feedback to improve and stay open to new ideas.
What this means: We’re rigorous in our approach to deliver high quality work.
How can I apply this?
- Deliver work that you’re truly proud of.
- Do things right the first time.
- Sense-check your output before “hitting send”.
- Use processes and automation to reduce mistakes.
