Last month, the Kansas City staffing startup nexus IT group was counted among one of the 15 Best Young Companies to Work For – a pretty hefty accolade considering no company could nominate themselves and the search took place nationwide. Co-judged by turnstone, an office furniture company, and Wharton management professor Peter Capelli, nexus IT exhibited all the right criteria: positive work culture, forward-thinking leadership, retention, innovation, outreach, and an “intentionally designed workspace.”
I recently had the chance to connect with nexus IT’s Customer Experience Executive, Travis Lindemoen, who has some interesting ideas about how to run an IT staffing business — or any business, for that matter. One thing was clear above all else: involvement is key.
Staffing Talk: You have a no-hierarchy structure. Describe what this looks like in a physical sense.
Travis: Great question — our office environment is an open work space. The only rooms that we have walled off are the storage rooms, conference room, bathrooms, and mechanical room. Our workspace is designed so that our executive team sits next to our candidate experience reps (recruiters), or our customer experience reps (sales). Every desk is equipped with ergotron’s double monitor standing desks so our employees have the option to stand or sit at any point within the day within a matter of a few seconds. Also, every employee is equipped with a wireless headset so we are able to walk around the entire office and outside on our private patio while we work. On top of that we have exercise balls around the office and a few buoy chairs that we love.
