Intelius’ Hiring Practices a Source of Its Success
Bellevue, Washington-based public records firm Intelius, Inc., adjudged one of the best workplaces by Washington CEO Magazine and Workforce Management Magazine, values its own hiring practices as essential to its success.
Founded in 2003 by a group of IT experts led by Naveen Jain, Intelius has drawn its prestige and reputation from its capacity to deliver services that aid businesses make intelligent hiring decisions. In addition, the company has gained recognition for its reliable background checks, people search service, criminal background search, and online cell phone directory service.
Intelius workers are those able to survive in an open and empowered environment. To be sure, the hiring process is a difficult yet, curiously, a most appreciated one. In fact, it is the hiring process which was rated highest by its employees and made it one of Washington’s best workplaces.
A panel of interviewers scrutinizes potential employees and this could go on for hours on end, because the company is interested on whether or not the prospect’s personality fits a company on the move for better, more innovative products. As a result, employees appreciate what they refer to as the “inclusive” hiring process, which reinforces employee’s value and gives employees a sense of belonging in the firm. Aside from that, Intellius makes employees feel more appreciated with an impressive benefits package and a stock incentive program.
However, the single most important factor that makes for a best workplace is Intellius‘ positive office culture. The executive team is responsible for an “open-door” policy in the firm, valuing comments and ideas – breaking traditional hierarchies that stifle creativity and innovative thought. Because of a clear-cut company mission, employees at all levels know where the company is headed and what is expected of them.
