Taster

50inTech selects the most inclusive companies based on 4 areas of focus: Fair Career Path, Equal Pay, Work-life balance, Diversity & Inclusion policies.

Fair Career Path

• To combat bias in the recruitment process a gender decoder tool is used in job descriptions, and the first round of resume screening is anonymous.
• We focus on career pathing for personal and professional development. Managers are actively engaged in conversations around career, understanding employees goals and forging a path to help them achieve them.
• We assign a buddy from a different team to help track the onboarding of all newcomers, and offer support throughout their career at Taster.
• In partnership with Google, a learning and development framework is in place for the tech teams, and each team member allocated 500 USD in credits on the platform
• Managers and leaders participate in a 6-week long training program (outsourced), with 2-3 hour weekly sessions
  • Our leadership team undergoes a dedicated full day of training

Equal Pay

• A salary grid is shared within our tech team with a clear indication of salary per position and level (currently in the process of updating).
• An annual salary review forms part of the employee performance review where we encourage salary negotiation.

Work-life balance

• We have a hybrid working policy, with a 50-50 balance between in-office and remote working for most of the business.
• We provide insurance policies to support mental health, and have launched a well-being calendar with events and activities focused on topics relating to mental and physical well-being (e.g. The Strava Challenge).

DEI actions

• We organize internal events on DE&I topics. For International Women’s Day we hosted a lunch event around the topic “break the bias”, and the importance of women in business.
• Our founder is very committed to communicating on the value of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and leading by example in their behavior and communication.
• We ensure that everyone is clear on our diversity, anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies (all clearly stipulated in our employee handbook), and we have concrete disciplinary steps in place to support a safe workplace culture.
• Buddy Language - an informal language culture exchange between colleague on topics unrelated to work, with the aim of helping our diverse employees improve their desired language skills.
• As part of the International Women’s Day celebration we launched compulsory unconscious bias training for all employees.

Diversity and inclusion ambitions for this year

• Improve the ratio of women and men in the tech and product team, putting emphasis on the inclusion of women and diversifying the team.
• Promote internal conversations within the tech team on conversations regarding gender equality.
• Our People Team is in the process of creating a broader L&D framework for the company to roll out in 2023.

Our recruitment process varies depending on the profile and responsibilities of the role but typically all positions will have a screening interview that will enable the recruiter/hiring manager to assess the level of experience against the requirements of the role and the individual’s fit within the team.

Following this screening call, there will be either a technical interview with a senior member of the team or a business case exercise, a further technical interview and a final interview with the hiring manager.

Therefore, there are four stages to our recruitment process within the Tech team at Taster.
