Have you ever been stuck at a company where you didn't feel valued, the culture made it hard to make friends, and your work didn't matter or wasn't challenging? It sucks. That's what the people and experience team is here to prevent.
Unlike the rest of the team, the people and experience team at NiceJob doesn't serve our customers, they serve our employees. Their role is to make NiceJob a kickass place to work, and to find the right people to make sure it continues to grow.
Since January 2018, NiceJob's gone from 2 employees to 18 (as of August 2019), processed over 5,000 job applicants, and has been featured as one of the fastest growing tech companies in BC by multiple sources.

"The most rewarding thing is planning team events and seeing how it brings everyone closer together, creating a sense of belonging within NiceJob!"
— Shonnah Hoy, People & Experience Specialist
Right now our main sources of candidates come from several channels. Every job we post is syndicated across +50 different job boards automatically, shared by most major university and business school career centers across Canada to their students, and sometimes promoted via paid advertising. We also proactively reach out to potential candidates via Angel.co and Linkedin, share jobs across multiple social media groups and pages, and work with a recruitment firm to source candidates. We attend career fairs, networking events, and write content such as this page and blog posts to be found by active job seekers. Most of our candidate sourcing is inbound.
To keep employees happy we regularly run team socials, such as events or theme days, we celebrate birthdays and milestones as a team, as we survey employees on their happiness, preferences, and other data we use to make their work lives better.
