November, 2018
BOULDER, CO, November 1, 2018 – Creative Alignments has been recognized as one of OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2018. These companies provide great workplaces for employees and encourage a balance between work and enjoying life in the great outdoors, while also respecting the environment. Colorado companies represent a large portion of those honored with this distinction.
“We are proud to join the selective ranks of companies with positive, balanced, environmentally responsible workplaces for the second year in a row,” said Peggy Shell, founder and CEO of Creative Alignments. “Our job is to help match talented employees with jobs at great companies, so we understand the importance of creating a culture where people want to work, especially in this tight employment market.”
Creative Alignments helps fast-growing companies hire talented employees using their disruptive Time-Based Recruiting model. They have turned traditional recruiting on its head by simply charging by the hour for the time it takes to fill a position for a company, rather than charging large commissions for each hire. By removing the motivation of a commission windfall, Creative Alignments is able to have a transparent and collaborative relationship with its clients and become a scalable extension of their client’s in-house team.
“Companies from across the country entered a rigorous two-part survey process to make the winning list,” said Abigail Wise, online managing editor, OUTSIDE. “Employees took part in a survey to measure personal experience, while The Best Companies Group evaluated each company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics.
The winning companies are those that value productivity in combination with an active, eco-conscious lifestyle, for a fulfilling experience inside and outside the office. This is OUTSIDE’s eleventh year providing the Best Places to Work.
