Zappos has a new program called Zappos Insider, which can be found on their careers page. The Zappos Insider was created as a place for candidates to reference so they can learn more about the company and its culture. To do so, the candidates will need to become members of Zappos Insider.
By becoming a member, candidates have the opportunity to chat with Zappos Ambassadors. This interaction places them in a position of higher consideration when openings become available. The candidates who invest the time to enroll and learn more about the company are given preference. This process eliminates candidates who apply anywhere and everywhere. The Zappos Insider program encourages a more engaged relationship between the employer and prospective employees.
Love the holistic approach (as well as the similarity to the RCGA mission!)

Culture and Follow through are everything, says TubeMogul CEO

Building an exceptional corporate culture is the only way to get a lasting edge over your rivals, says Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul. “Culture and people are everything,” he says. “Nothing else matters, and our ability to stay ahead is a function of having the best people and moving faster than our competitors.”
And how do you do that?
It starts with the people we hire, and how we hire. Every single person at the company who interviews people has to go through an interviewing class where we teach them how to be good interviewers, and we’re reminding them of the culture and how to filter for it. As part of our onboarding process, I run a class called “Culture and Values.” We try to make it lighthearted, but we want people to know the qualities that matter to the company. They become the reasons we hire, fire and promote people.
It’s a culture where we value the people who do what they say — they have a high “do-to-say ratio.” That’s important in any organization, but particularly in a start-up where all the odds are against you in the beginning. You just need people who follow through, and it’s a lot more fun when the people you work with do that. You can count on them, and you can get by with fewer layers of management, and communication flows faster. I also really value people who are kind to one another. That makes the workplace better, and they end up having a deeper sense of empathy with our clients.
