Transparency Matters: Here Are Austin's Most Transparent Startups

AUSTIN, Texas, March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Society for Human Resource Management, 40% of people who quit a role do so within the first 12 months of being hired.* One of the main reasons? Misaligned expectations between the recruiting process and what they actually encountered as a new hire.

Research conducted by the JobSage team in 2021 indicates jobseekers— especially those from traditionally underrepresented or marginalized groups— value transparency. For professionals of all backgrounds, especially those who fear workplace discrimination, the job search is all too often an opaque process where their important questions aren't getting answered. 

JobSage is a third-party employee transparency platform whose mission is to provide jobseekers with information that matters most to them. In doing so, we also want to amplify companies who are taking the extra step to provide potential employees the transparency they deserve.

As of today, fifteen Austin companies are taking initiative by allowing JobSage to survey their entire workforce. These companies have committed to ensuring their candidates have access to the most complete, honest insights into what they can expect from their prospective future employers. Because of their commitment to transparency, we call them our Trusted Employers.

About JobSage
JobSage is an employee transparency platform that brings insight to the things that matter most to jobseekers: inclusive workplaces, opportunities for growth, a sense of purpose, meaningful feedback, and flexibility. We do this by partnering directly with employers who value authenticity to elevate the voice of the people who know their workplace best— current employees. As a third party, we're able to maintain employee privacy and provide a safe space for employees to share with honesty. Moreover, employees can provide their demographic information, which gives jobseekers more context into these insights. Combined, this approach lets JobSage create authentic, accessible conversations about what it is really like to work somewhere.
