A great company means something different to everyone, which is why InHerSight matches users to companies based on their desired must-haves, such as flexibility, paid time off, salary, remote work, and more.
We wanted to take that concept a step further. For our Match Made series, we asked employees at our partner companies this question: How did you know your company was a good match for you?
These responses not only illustrate the range of must-haves that make up our workforce, but also the diversity of company cultures there are to choose from. Check out these responses below, then, if you like what you see, explore the companies themselves—you might just make a match of your own.
“I knew Boats Group was the perfect match for me when I saw how they talked about their core values (Focus, Integrity, Relationships, and Energy). While all are vital, Focus and Relationships are two of my favorites. Here “Focus” extends beyond working hard; it's self-care and taking breaks. I’ve never heard a company include those! Witnessing all employees embody these values daily has been truly inspiring! We place genuine relationship-building at the forefront! We are encouraged to carve out time to connect as humans and you can see all coworkers taking the time to know each other beyond titles, both personally and professionally. It's an environment that truly values the individual! Our values are more than words—they're a way of life!” —Eli Karstens, Corporate Recruiter

Since starting, I have met men and women on the frontlines and in our headquarters who amaze me with their pride and fierce passion for what they do.

I’m excited by what we are doing here, and I know this is just the beginning of our work building the future of construction.” —Kathleen Carroll, Chief People Officer
