What can I say about VanHack? In my career, for the first time in 20 years, the alarm goes off, and I am stoked to come to work and be a part of something incredible. At VanHack, we are genuinely all passionate people who believe in impacting people's lives. Whether you are a part of the Tech team, Recruitment, Global Mobility, Growth or Candidate success, you are a part of something huge and something outside of yourself. We are a team that wins as a team. We are a humble team where it is safe to make mistakes, but most importantly, we hack together. Before joining VanHack, I was unclear on what they were doing. Were they an academy? Were they a recruiting agency? Was it a SaaS platform? After doing my research (which I highly recommend doing), I was determined that this was a team, and these were my kind of people, and I was going to get the job! I reached out to my network, spoke with customers and people who knew the leadership team, and figured it was time to make a move. The best thing that happened in 2020 was making that decision. Overcoming My Fears of Working for a Distributed Team: As an extreme extrovert, I was afraid of not having face-to-face contact initially to develop relationships with other team members. After two weeks, I felt confident. My onboarding was incredible; the team welcomed me and set up meetings. The benefit of an organization that started distributed meant that I had the toolbox to learn quickly and get up to speed. The team invests in technology that allows incredible learning opportunities to learn from peers. The thrill of working and running like a Start-UP: I love working in a small, agile, sprinting company, not overburdened by process and bureaucracy. VanHack is a financially stable organization and grows our team sustainably. Here, you can feel like you can own process improvements, work with the team to bust our best learning practices, and take ownership of projects and make an impact. Mentorship and Professional Development Opportunities: There are lots of professional development opportunities. There are educational credits available to all, but also other learning opportunities and mentorship programs available. All women in the company can be mentored through a program through Locelle; I have found it incredible. Our teams are encouraged to learn, to grow, and encouraged to help upskill. I have been encouraged to join networking, lunch clubs, lunch roulette and many other opportunities, where I have been able to grow my network and my knowledge base of the tech ecosystem. Using Tech to build Better Teams and Collaborative Workspaces: Great tools, social events, and layers of collaborative workspaces. The teams work together to work smarter, not harder, and we are constantly utilizing our tech teams to make our lives easier. Making an Impact: We are making an impact in the world, the lives of our candidates. We are making an impact for our peers and colleagues and for the companies we serve. Everyone at Vanhack plays a role, and to be part of something bigger than ourselves, more significant than our departments or teams, and for that, I think it is incredible to be a part of.

It's hard work but it's super rewarding! We really rally as a team and work very hard to achieve our collective mission. If you are looking for a mundane and a bureaucratic enterprise, need not apply.
