We believe that having a job you love is about being on a team that feels like home. We help managers create happy and productive remote teams.
At Candor, we believe that culture is who you are as a team. It’s how you do your work together, how you show up, what you collectively care about and celebrate. It's how you recognize wins, share feedback, do meetings, and so much more!
Team culture sets the vibe on a team and can be the thing that keeps a team working well together, or the thing that drives people apart.
Many leaders frequently talk about communication, productivity, or engagement issues on their team. Managing a remote team is really, really hard. And the "people" side of management is truly the hardest part. So many leaders ask themselves: where do I even start?!
Many teams turn towards expensive offsites or a budget-friendly pizza party when they start feeling the pain of managing remotely. Unfortunately, these quick fixes won't change any deeper issues on your team. To do that, you'll need to look at how you do engagement, recognition, and more of the "culture stuff".
Here’s our secret for you: you only need to spend 5-10 minutes a day to build great team culture. Candor is helping managers create happy and productive teams by giving them the tool kit we wish we had while managing remotely.
We built Candor for remote managers who care about their people and want to create a great place to work. With Candor, managers can focus on the rewarding parts of the job -- coaching and leading -- and let Candor take care of the rest. The result: a happy, productive team that makes work a lot of fun.
Culture is important to us because we know what it feels like to get it wrong. Candor was founded in 2021 by Kelsey Bishop. Kelsey started her career in startups and while she thrived in some, she struggled in others. She realized that company culture had the biggest impact on her happiness at work and started working on Candor. Today, the Candor team is well funded ($5M from top investors) and though remote, is able to stay connected and engaged through our own product.
We’re a small team based remotely across 7 countries and 5 time zones. All the deets on how we work are on our Candor Team Space. On our team space, you’ll see that we regularly do many team missions — shoutouts, personal check-ins, work check-ins, feedback, 1-on-1 meetings, and polls. All our team missions help us sync up and connect even while we’re remote.
Feel free to share questions or feedback with our team. We will be in touch within 1 business day.
