At Hyperscience, we look for people who want to bring their own ideas to the table and take calculated risks. We encourage everyone to expand their network and learn new things through our $1,500 learning and development stipend, cross-departmental knowledge-sharing, and regular events. In response to the pandemic, our leadership prioritized employee health and implemented company-wide initiatives to help mitigate the threat of Covid by quickly mobilizing to upgrade our health care plan, arrange for rapid testing, and provide access to critical mental health resources. By offering comprehensive benefits, we believe we’ll continue to attract best-in-class employees.

We are dedicated to providing servant leadership by focusing on our culture and continually innovating, while maintaining our traditions. When the pandemic hit, we offered a stipend to purchase office furniture and supplies. We now work in an innovative virtual office with a cafeteria, a lounge (with a bar!), a beach, and a pier with a sea monster. We wanted to avoid "Zoom fatigue" and maintain our dedication to innovation while preserving our core values: empowerment, learning, innovation, teamwork, and excellence.

Idea Grove was built on the foundation that valued employees make for happy clients. Part of our hiring process includes a company culture assessment to make sure prospective team members hold the same values of our company culture — creativity, respect, energy, accountability, teamwork, and empathy. We believe connection creates strong teams, and we foster opportunities for employees to get to know one another. Our internal activities committee organizes team-building activities and events, and our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) committee is involved in the recruitment and interview process.

At iHire, we actively value transparency, collaboration, accountability, and inclusivity. Managers hold weekly or biweekly one-on-one meetings with staff, allowing for real-time feedback and fostering a sense of connection. We encourage collaboration across departments to swiftly adjust to changing conditions. And our focus on accountability has inspired our workforce to stay productive while working from home, a situation we adapted to virtually overnight, with the aid of monthly stipends and flexible scheduling options for employees.

Annually, we have a Dream Day to talk about new dreams and celebrate accomplished ones. We have an onsite gym, a kitchen with healthy snacks, and a wellness director to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle. We raise money to support families in need, volunteer at local events, and have a scholarship program for high school students. We encourage and facilitate continuous professional development, and, annually, all employees provide feedback on management. We do many activities together, including yacht rides, go-karts, road trips, and indoor skydiving.
