I rarely see Glassdoor ratings this high. And it’s vital, because Glassdoor is now the very first place that your prospective candidates look. Katy Shields is VP People at VSCO, the fast-growing creative tools company. She joined a business with 50 people, and has scaled it to over 170. Based in Oakland California, VSCO builds creative tools, spaces and connections driven by self-expression. (You should download their amazing mobile app today.) They’ve raised $90M from Accel, Glynn Capital, Obvious Ventures, and Goldcreast Investment. Katy & the leadership team have created a deep sense of alignment amongst their people. Each feels a deep sense of accountability. It helps that she’s recruited a team of people she calls “collaborative, humble, and kind.” It helps that she learned the fundamentals as HR Business Partner at Google. I wanted to know how Katy did it. In this 20-minute conversation, she shares how you can do the same.
