“The greatest asset of a company is its people” – said Jorge Paulo Lemann, a Brazilian billionaire investment banker, and businessman. And when you start thinking about what makes any enterprise the best place to work, it’s hard to disagree with him.
There are many different ways of attracting potential employees and convincing them to join the company because each boss has their own vision of the perfect team:
- some of them keep promising financial improvement after accepting their offer;
- others are tempting employees-to-be with the possibility of working with the most creative projects;
- there are also superiors who think that the most important thing is a chance to develop, and join professional workshops. And it would be a lie if we said that we don’t support this approach.
But what if we combined all of these crucial aspects and added something more? What if there would be a possibility not only to work in a friendly, well-organized team but also to choose who exactly you could work with?
That’s a chance given by referral programs. Check out how it works and meet the perks of joining the “Bring Your Buddy to Codete” campaign.
“What matters the most in the referral program, is a friend”
I’ve heard this sentence once while working on one of the projects at Codete, and it stayed with me until now. As much as the circumstances have changed during these last 2 years, so has people’s way of thinking while looking for a job, too. It’s more and more visible that a positive atmosphere at work gives the employees a real boost of energy and reasons to work.
An average period of working at one place has dropped off radically, and today’s generations of the 20s, 30s and even 40s are less and less afraid of starting searching for a better option if the current company doesn’t meet their expectations.
At Codete the situation is different. With 12 years on the market, we can boast of employees who have been with us from the very beginning. There are also many people who decided to join us because of their friends’ recommendations, and that’s what makes Codete a really great place to work. “Codete starts with you” is not only an empty phrase, but it's a way of operating a company that brings visible results.
Meet the latest idea which is the “Bring Your Buddy to Codete” referral program to feel the vibes of an IT JOB.
Better together
The idea of this campaign appeared as a result of many hours of discussions with the whole Codete team. Throughout the whole pandemic period, we were looking for a way of making our company a better place to work.
What troubled us the most, was a sense of solitude and isolation while working locked in our home offices. We figured out that even the longest video call will not be a substitute for a real, face-to-face coffee break in the office.
“What really matters is people. And it’s them who should be taken care of the most if we want to keep Codete’s uniqueness.”
– Grzegorz Śmiałek, Codete’s Managing Director & co-founder
The pandemic situation was also favorable for making marathons of favorite TV series and movies, so many of us decided to re-watch the iconic “Friends” at that time. The characteristic opening theme, well-known scenes with bringing the couch up the stairs together, and famous quotations – that all brought us to the question: “What if we could make such a FRIENDly atmosphere at the Codete’s offices?”.
The solution seemed to be obvious – because who could recommend better employees than people who really know them? “Bring Your Buddy to Codete” – that’s a sentence that became the leitmotif of our referral program. And soon all the teams started making it happen.
How to bring your buddy?
The rules of this campaign are as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Think of any friend of yours who could prove themselves in one of our mid or senior developers positions.
- Visit: friends.codete.com and fill in an online form with their personal details.
- Send it to us and don’t forget to inform your buddy that you’ve submitted them. ;)
