Built In Honors Thumbtack in Its 2024 Best Places To Work Awards For the Second Year in a Row

The technology company earns four placements on this year’s rankings, solidifying their status as a top remote workplace nationwide

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Built In announced that Thumbtack was honored in its 2024 Best Places To Work Awards. Specifically, Thumbtack earned places on Built In’s U.S. Best Overall Companies list (#82), Remote Best Overall Companies list (#17), U.S. Best Midsize Companies list (#43), and Remote Best Midsize Companies list (#12). The annual awards program includes companies of all sizes, from startups to those in the enterprise, and honors both remote-first employers as well as companies in large tech markets across the U.S.

“Over the past year, we’ve doubled down on our commitment to our virtual-first, not virtual-only way of working and have seen a tremendous impact on both our employees and our business,” says Jelena Djordjevic, VP of People at Thumbtack. “We believe firmly that the success of our business is dependent on the success of our people, which is why in addition to our model we have a robust offering of competitive benefits. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and thoughtfulness our team has put into creating a model that helps our employees thrive both at Thumbtack and in their personal lives.”

Built In determines the winners of Best Places to Work based on an algorithm, using company data about compensation and benefits. To reflect the benefits candidates are searching for more frequently on Built In, the program also weighs criteria like remote and flexible work opportunities, programs for DEI, and other people-first cultural offerings.

Thumbtack announced their virtual-first, not only model in early 2021 and has since doubled down on their commitment to evolving their approach based on employee feedback and business priorities. With more than 1,100 across more than 30 states, Canada, and the Philippines, they’ve seen an all-time high in productivity and work-life balance since adopting their model. The tech company has also seen an almost quadruple increase in job applications since adopting this new way of working.
