Our Values

Flexible

We believe in the power of a flexible workforce to help companies be more agile and responsive to changing business priorities and market conditions. We also believe that work shouldn't be constrained by the four walls of an office, nine-to-five schedules, or traditional models that no longer fit. That's why we're a virtual-first company of agile self-starters who work from anywhere to get the job done.

Empowering

We believe that leaving your career path in the hands of your employer is old-school. Talent should be in the driver's seat of their careers, equipped with the tools, skill-building, and autonomy to forge their own path. At the same time, Talent shouldn't have to go it alone when it comes to job searching and career decisions—our Talent Agents work as their partner to coach and advise them along the way.

Inclusive

Aquent is an equal opportunity employer. We believe an inclusive environment—where different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are valued—is critical to ensuring everyone can contribute, grow their careers, and thrive. We also believe that diversity goes beyond race and gender. Diversity includes things that are visible and those that are not. It's a person's age, status, ability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, and so much more. These differences help foster a more progressive workplace. We embrace them all.

Sustainability

Today, more than ever, businesses must do their part to reverse climate change. So we're taking big steps to go carbon negative, becoming virtual-first, switching to energy-efficient tech, and building solar arrays. This is a new benchmark for sustainability within our industry and beyond.

We don't judge a book by its cover

No one is perfect, except on their CV. You can't judge a book by its cover. Which is why we look deeper. We first assess new talent by doing a talent interview to assess their human (soft) skills. We then do a technical interview to evaluate their hard skills. An industry expert will conduct this interview, and we pay them to do it. In this way we make sure they can do what they say they can do — before they do any work for our clients.

We never do business with strangers

We build close, ongoing relationships with our clients and our Talent. We meet them and get to know them as human beings. When it comes to Talent, we ask them about their career and where they want to be. We know their skills, their strengths, and their weaknesses. We're not about pushing Talent into jobs, or making matches where it's not going to work. We're about doing what's right for everyone — our Talent, and our clients. Because happy people are good for business.
