Additional Culture Details
At Hired, our number one value is “Put people first.” That’s not just a line that lives on our website, it’s a core driving factor for how we carry out our work.
In our work with our clients, we focus on building trusting relationships, so that, through relationships, we can help them to express their dreams, make career and life plans, learn new skills, and secure family-sustaining employment.
Hired is committed to having a staff and board that reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, and it is a part of our commitment to delivering culturally responsive services. Nearly half (49%) of our staff and 22% of senior leaders identify as BIPOC, along with more than a third (38%) of the board of directors, including our board chair. Additionally, to provide high quality services for non-native English speakers, Hired’s multilingual staff speak ten languages in addition to English (including Hmong, Somali, and Spanish), and we engage interpreters, as needed.
We are deeply committed to supporting staff in their continuous learning. From staff committee-identified professional development and speaker series to external resources, we invest in the people who carry out our work.
