Culture challenge for a potential hire. Phase 2 of our hiring process.

Culture Focused Recruitment

Growing our team, without sacrificing our ideals.

Back Story

Inner Geek has grown significantly since it’s inception last year. What used to be my freelance gig, has turned into a 12-person (about to be 15-person) creative digital agency.

While we’re not the fastest growing company, we’ve well surpassed the typical growth rate of digital agencies and I believe much of this success has been a result of our culture.

Geek Benefits

At Inner Geek, we strive to provide our employees with massive amounts of flexibility and benefits. I feel that by taking better care of our people, our people will take better care of our products. If you’re a geek, you get the following…

1. Flexible start time, where you can work when you want to.
2. Kickass office, featuring a pool table, 16'x9' home theatre, and a keg.
3. Daily catered lunches (and some breakfasts and dinners).
4. Full life, health, dental, travel, critical illness, and disability insurance.
5. Corporate Goodlife Fitness membership.
6. Paid conferences and learning opportunities.
7. Profit share and employee stock option packages.
8. Unlimited paid vacation time!

Geek Events

Of course, there’s so much more that goes into building our culture than the shiny employee benefits. After hours, our geeks have been enjoying the following…

1. Weekly rounds of golf at select London courses, followed by brunch.
2. Pizza nights, for culture challenges or just chilling with the team.
3. Movie nights at VIP Cinemas (Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend).
4. Dinners at some of our favourite local dining establishments.
5. Pretty much anything else the geeks ask for!

My Geek Family

Obviously, I’m very proud of everything we provide for our geeks, but last night there was a special moment for me as a founder. We were having one of our “culture challenges,” where a potential hire hangs out with us for an evening to make sure they’re a good fit for the team. Amidst a game of pool, I looked out across the room at my fellow geeks and something really sunk in. Inner Geek is only 15 months old and we have the most amazing office, team, and culture that any founder could ask for.

I am massively proud of what we’ve created and can’t wait to see what comes next. Inner Geek is so much more than a creative agency and there isn’t a challenge in the world that I wouldn’t face with this team.
