Beyond Code: How Qualified Builds Great Tools
As one of the leading software tools to use for hiring technical talent, we can’t help but want to talk about what it’s like to be on our team. So we did a little bit of research, talking, and counting and found out this is what it’s like to work at Qualified.
Small Team, High Impact
“As a small team, each of us have high impact and the work is recognized” — Kaz, Software Engineer at Qualified
When you are lean mean team of 12, every action counts. We solve problems as a team, encouraging everyone to speak up and work together to build a product we’re proud of. We believe when you have the qualified candidate for your team it makes all the difference. Each of us have high impact and the work is recognized.
Productively Remote
“I can work from where I’m most productive in.” — Bianca, Product Manager
All 12 of us work wherever we like, reliable internet access is our only requirement. Spread across 4 time zones in 6 different states, we sign into slack and open our work tools on the schedule that best fits our lives. We communicate asynchronously, work autonomously and take ownership over our work.
Collaboration & Camaraderie from afar
“We solve problems as a team, encouraging everyone to speak up and work together to build a product we’re proud of.” — Phil, Front End Software Engineer
We have camaraderie from afar. Remote work does not stop us from getting to know each other. Daily conversations in chats like #random include topics of film, shows, shared articles, and music. Speaking of music, we even went so far as to have a team Spotify playlist. We use the coveted chat #whoaddedthis to jump on the music finds and we have a weekly optional Virtual Office Hours meeting to pop in and say hi to whoever wants to hang out and chat. We all come together in person once a year for a team retreat, and throughout the year we find special ways of coming together, such as participating in a virtual secret Santa exchange.
Driven by our Mission
“I love working with a team of excellent folks and creating thought-provoking assessments that (hopefully) challenge and entertain candidates.” — Greg, Content Developer
We are on a mission to help everyone make qualified hires. Our leadership team makes profitability and product plans clear. With the autonomy to own your space, you are empowered to work on what interests you and your skills in that area.
In the end, we are just some people who think interviewing as an engineer should be enjoyable, and we have team that enjoys building a product that does just that.
