Traction Complete’s hiring philosophy is based on culture, intelligence and then skills. Here’s what we mean by that:
Culture

We are looking for people who want to join an active community of engaged individuals who see business as more than just a vehicle to make money. We care about our people, wider community and planet. Come join us on this journey!
Complete is a group of entrepreneurs committed to creating ecstatic clients, doing enjoyable work and being efficient in everything we do. We fail fast and love to innovate. Change is our middle name.

Growth: We are committed to the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, embracing learning and growth in all aspects of our work and our lives. By exploring new ways to grow and evolve, we believe there is always something new to learn and improve upon.
Integrity: We strive to always do the right thing, be honest and trustworthy, and to take full accountability for our actions and our work.
Well-being: We believe true wellness is a balance of feeding our passions, enjoying our hobbies, and cultivating meaningful relationships. We encourage every member of our team to not only find success professionally but to lead a balanced and fulfilling life.
People often ask what it takes to succeed at Traction Complete – you’ve got to be smart, without having an ego. What does that mean? Imagine working with a group of your smartest friends who all love to learn. Everyone is always pushing each other to grow and innovate at a pace that can only be called furious. We are never idle or stagnant. We seek and share knowledge. We are comfortable with the unknown. We just “git ‘r done.”
