Awardco

Awardco is moving on up 📈 This week we moved our teams to a brand new custom-built third floor in our building. The feeling of momentum is tangible. It's a reflection of work we're doing across the company in 2024, some of which includes: 📊 Record new business & pipe gen (including biggest Q2 ever) 🛣️ 30+ events across 3 continents ⛰️ Our first ever Customer Summit in Park City, UT 🤝 Significant additions in GTM leadership 🚀 2 (so far) massive product launches (A-Pay, External Recognition) 🆚 Rapidly rising win rates in deals vs. competitors 👥 50 new product/engineering hires (yes, you read that right) It's most encouraging to see the hustle, the care and the overall grit still turning up. The sales floor is buzzing, the gong is ringing, we're getting on planes to be with customers, we're war-rooming the biggest deals in company history and overall, we're not satisfied. In fact, the feeling is full speed on the offensive to deliver the very best engagement, recognition and business results for companies across the globe. For friends on HR teams in Utah, reach out and come by! For those interested in joining the momentum, we've got some great roles in marketing: - Sr. Manager, Marketing Operations - Product Marketing Manager - Web Developer Stay tuned next week for more exciting news 👀

Meet Kara! Kara is a Recruiter and has been at Awardco for about 2.5 years. ⭐What is the most impactful experience you've had working at Awardco? "I don’t have one specific experience in mind, but there is no better feeling than helping someone get hired and seeing how happy they are on their first day! When new hires thank me it reminds me of how much I love recruiting!" A few fun facts about Kara… ⭐ If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be? "If I could visit any place in the world it would probably be the Dolomites in Italy. I love hiking/backpacking and every picture I’ve seen at the Dolomites is breathtaking." ⭐ Who is someone you look up to? "I look up to Ilona Maher, a rugby player on team USA. I played rugby in high school and it is amazing to see how talented and uplifting of an athlete she is."

Whether you call it Human Resources, People Ops, or something else, there’s no denying the fact that HR is a very people-focused industry. Like every other industry, HR has plenty of monotonous, repetitive tasks to take care of that AI can take over. However, unlike many industries, HR also has many human-oriented tasks that require individual attention—the human touch, you might say. So, what do you need to know about AI in HR? How can you implement AI without sacrificing the human connection that makes People Ops so special? Read more about how AI can help, not hurt, your team: https://bit.ly/3X8bZhz

Meet Dax! Dax is on our Marketplace team and has been at Awardco for almost 3 years. "I’ve had a lot of impactful experiences working closely with many great people and departments at Awardco. One that stands out was recently launching a new redemption option for users in countries with far fewer options than most western countries. We saw these users pick up on the option quickly and received great feedback that Awardco was considering all markets and users regardless of where they live." A few fun facts about Dax... ⭐ If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be? "My wife and I are headed to Norway this week to check that off the top of our list, and we couldn’t be more excited! If not there, I’d follow the trip quickly with Iceland, I’ve wanted to visit and road trip around the country for a long time. The pictures of Iceland are incredible and I have a feeling that pictures don’t do the landscape enough justice." ⭐ Who is someone you look up to? "My dad. He is one of the most knowledgeable and empathetic people I know and has taught me a ton. He’s the person you’d want to call first when you have good news and the same person you’d want support from if you have bad news. He was the first guy to teach me to “recognize the good” and taught me, through example, that kindness and service is a great way to live a fulfilling life."
