Close

At Close, we're building the sales communication platform of the future. With our roots as the very first sales CRM to include built-in calling, we're leading the industry toward eliminating manual processes and helping companies to close more deals (faster). Since our founding in 2013, we've grown to become a profitable, 100% globally distributed team of 43 high-performing, happy people that are dedicated to building a product our customers love.

We are a small team doing great things - every role is critical to the success of this company. People that are most successful at Close have a resourceful, “doer” approach and mentality. We focus on productivity, impact, and quality of work. We’re looking for team members that genuinely understand the nature of being part of a small team that operates in a bootstrapped / start-up-like environment. 

At Close, everyone has a voice. We encourage transparency and practicing a mature approach to the workplace. In general, we don’t have strict policies, we have guidelines. Life-work harmony is an important part of our organization - we believe you bring your best to work when you practice self-care (whatever that looks like for you). 

We come from 12 countries and 16 states; a collection of talented humans rich in diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, and cultures. Twice a year we meet up somewhere around the world to spend time with one another (however we’re opting for quarterly virtual summits during 2020/2021). We see these retreats as an opportunity to strengthen the social fiber of our community. This team is growing in more ways than one - we’ve recently launched 14 babies (and counting!). 

Unanimously, our favorite and most impactful value is “Build a house you want to live in.” We strive to make decisions that are authentic for our organization. At Close, we have a high care factor for one another, in making an awesome product and championing the success of our customers.

Slack is a virtual water cooler, not a virtual office. We care about productivity, quality of work, and how you communicate with the team and customers. 

We encourage deep work and turning off notifications. 

Decisions are thoughtful, we ask that everyone has a voice and then trust team leaders will make the best decisions for their teams and that our C-Levels will make the best decisions for the company.

We strive to create an inclusive environment for all those that go through our recruiting experience - from initial interactions to final interviews. Our internal recruiting team works to reduce bias through job description analysis, educating ourselves on inclusive language, and ensuring we understand our personal unconscious biases. We promote on various platforms to prioritize seeking out diverse candidates and post on these 2-4 weeks before posting across general job boards. We also encourage blind candidate reviews with application questions answered first prior to looking more in-depth at the candidate. 

 

Community Groups 

We have ongoing 1:1s with managers and bi-annual holistic reviews where career goals are discussed. We encourage all people to own their careers and take personal initiatives for their learning and development. We have an open policy and want this to be a valuable experience for them as an individual rather than providing a pre-determined budget. 

If you want to attend a conference, course, or training and believe it would benefit your professional growth, send your team manager and People Ops a proposal with all of the logistics and details. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, the company will cover the total costs or establish a match.
