Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know what it’s like to work at Hirewell? Explore our answers to the most frequently asked questions below!
General
Is the role fully remote?
Yes! We are a remote first, hybrid optional environment. We are actively hiring in all locations in the US on a full remote basis. If you live in Chicagoland and prefer working in an office, we do have a WeWork space available, which some of our team takes advantage of. But it is completely optional. We also have clusters of Hirewell teams in Atlanta and Dallas. We have twice a year company events in Chicago – we’ll fly you here for them!
As long as your at-home setup works for you, then it works for us.

Culture
How have you maintained culture since going remote?
Our teams stay close-knit through their weekly meetings and frequent team outings. We’re always trying to find new and creative ways to keep up communication across our company.
Our DEI and Content Committees are two great ways to better get to know folks outside of your practice. We also host optional “cross team socials”, both in person and virtual, so we can spend some quality time with Hirewellians we don’t get to see in our team meetings.
