Our company culture is rooted in our values, and we put culture first by living them in our day-to-day work together. We use our values daily by collaborating, speaking up when we have ideas or opinions, and remembering that we are all navigating a changing world, with our own stories and perspectives. All teams and functions are encouraged to find the best ways to put our values into practice, whether being member-obsessed while developing our mobile app or providing an inclusive hiring experience.

Our founders, who pride themselves on leading by example, built the company on shared values. The culture encourages transparency and recognizes that each employee brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the company. We onboard new team members through a mentoring Buddy Program and assist all team members to grow through Lunch & Learn sessions and various other professional development opportunities. A social committee encourages and plans activities to engage employees beyond the workplace.

We offer a unique, collaborative work environment that is rarely seen in the recruiting industry. Monthly meetings are devoted to inspiring our team to create personal and professional goals and developmental achievements they can focus on to really make it their “best year yet!” Training tools and resources are always available to help our team achieve goals and further career development. We are a founding sponsor of Conscious Capitalism Chicago Chapter because we agree that business can and should be done with a higher purpose in mind.

While we have been recognized with numerous regional and national “best workplaces” honors over the years, we are driven to keep elevating our practices and prioritizing our team and workplace culture. Our new headquarters was designed with our team’s needs in mind, optimizing mental and physical well-being by providing larger per-person workspaces, meditation and wellness spaces, and a fitness area stocked with modern equipment, including weight machines and a Peloton Tread and Bike.

Because our people are what make our company truly great, we ensure everyone maintains a healthy work-life balance by offering flexible work schedules and flexible time off, as well as remote and telecommuting options. Core pillars of our culture include: "garage state of mind" (continuous innovation), "jazz band" (working in harmony), "one with customers" (we win when they win), "charge" (hustle to achieve the remarkable), and "dish assist" (helping fellow employees when needed). Collaboration and teamwork are prevalent at Clari. We work hard and play hard.
