Just Be You

We work hard to reflect the world we want to see by leading with diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) principles and want to ensure that people from all backgrounds and experiences feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to potentially join the Justworks team.

We believe that in order to gather accurate demographic information we need to move beyond traditional questions about gender, race and ethnicity, and sexual orientation in favor of more inclusive and open-ended approaches.  Of course, thinking around these areas is ever-evolving so, wherever applicable please feel free to select "I prefer to self-describe" and then elaborate so we can use your feedback to inform survey selections in the future.

Participation in this survey is completely optional. Any responses you choose to share will not be associated with your application and will not in any way be used in any hiring decision.  We are collecting this information to establish a better understanding of our candidate pool and meet commitments related to DEIB as we seek to be representative of the wider world.

At Justworks, we are building an open, inclusive, and collaborative culture that values people and their individual potential in the collective service of our company, our community, and our customers. Our DEIB mission is to help every Justworker grow with confidence and realize their full potential.  

We are leading the industry by transparently holding ourselves accountable for our representation and culture of inclusion by sharing our progress. Starting in 2022, we are releasing DEIB statistics on an annual basis. We know we can always do more to advance DEIB, but we are also proud of the company we are building, one great Justworker at a time.
