🖤 We love this page and policy from Whereby. You can sometimes worry about information overload on handbooks, and this page on theirs clearly jumps out at readers as the one thing they should read if they are going to read anything. It can be a really useful addition if you have a clear, yet overarching message you want to get to anyone who lands on your handbook.

Our recruitment process at Whereby is pretty long. We like to give each new member of our team a thorough introduction to us, and we like to get a thorough understanding of them too.

We make our interview process quite long because we really believe in the power of hiring exceptional people into the roles which are: best for them, at a time in our company's history where they'll make the most impact.

Another reason we also screen thoroughly is because we give everyone in our team a huge amount of trust and autonomy from day 1. 🙌

Everyone joins Whereby with a full tank of trust.

We believe in the smarts, honesty, and capabilities of everyone in our team from the day they start.

Because of this, we don't have too many restrictive policies and procedures. Our People Ops, Finance, and Ops teams will create guidelines and offer tools to guide your good decision-making process, but we believe that most of our team are capable of making great decisions themselves, without long lists of rules and policies.

We also don't believe in micro-managing the ways you do things too much, so we try our hardest to avoid rigid policy and process, and prefer to give you lots of tools to do things in a way which works best for you and your team.

You can find all of our guidelines here in ‣...

However, if you read and remember one policy document, read this one:

Whatever you are doing, do whatever you believe is in the best interest of Whereby.

That's it. That's the policy.

It may seem pretty straight forward, but to make sure everyone understands...
