Humans are a creative species. And in an environment of startups and visionary culture that seeks to fill industry gaps, new tools are developed every day with the goal of advancement and simplicity.
For Hear.com, that drive is derived from the effect that hearing loss has on millions of individuals and the ways that modern hearing aids can improve quality of life. As far as their team is concerned, gone are the days of clunky, outdated hearing devices. With so much technology at our fingertips, medical accessories are benefitting from a tech makeover.
But healthcare is not the only industry benefitting from modern ingenuity. If you’re looking for a new role with an energized team making waves in AI or recruiting, these companies want to meet you.
What they do: Noise takes a toll on our ears. With a product that is as much backed by research as it is by a founder’s vision, Hear.com understands both the root causes and the impact that hearing loss can have. Since their 2012 genesis, Hear.com has helped more than 100,000 customers start their journey toward sharper hearing.
Open-ear policy: “This is the first company I’ve worked for that genuinely knows how to take care of its employees,” said Jerry Ma, a senior full-stack engineer, previously told Built In. During a very busy time in his life, ”even though I was brand new, they gave me flexibility to fit my work around these events. I never had to feel awkward pressure asking for time off,” Ma said.
Listening across the nation: Hear.com’s offices are just a short commute from downtown Denver, and their network comprises more than 1,600 audiologists and hearing care experts across the U.S.
What they do: DHI Group provides AI-powered software products, online tools and recruiting services to global companies looking for new tech talent. Their two brands, Dice and ClearanceJobs, are specialized for roles that require active government security clearances.
Recruitment researchers: Through internal expertise and insight, DHI Group gathers and analyzes data on work structure and prospective applicants’ expectations to create industry reports. Recent findings illustrate that tech talent prefers hybrid and remote options over working permanently in office, and identified higher levels of burnout as a key issue for employers to watch.
Diverse team, complementary skills: As leaders in talent recruitment, the DHI team understands the value of and need for diversity in the workplace. This understanding drives their own hiring practices. Their team works with DiversityJobs.com to source new candidates and offers unconscious bias training to support a culture of inclusivity.
What they do: Flyreel is an insurtech startup that helps simplify the insurance process for carriers and policyholders. The organization’s intuitive AI assistant guides users through fully configurable workflows for self-service inspections and claims.
An emphasis on inclusivity: “As a startup, we are constantly looking for new ways to improve and boldly innovate — including our approach to employee support, as well as providing a space for every employee to simply be themselves.” HR Manager Courtney Galloway previously told Built In. Galloway’s team works with top recruiters to focus on creating diverse teams.
Flyreel’s tech stack: “Generally my team uses a lot of PyTorch and TensorFlow,” Senior Software Engineer Victor Palmer previously told Built In. “We use Docker and TensorFlow for the heavier models and TensorFlow Lite for when we’re close to the edge.”
