Our Core value
Forget corporate jargon and buzzwords painted on the office walls, we have ONE core value that every Searchability employee lives by, and it exists in everything we do...
= Be Sound!
Discover what this means...To be sound is a state of existence. It usually refers to someone who willingly does something positive for somebody else, asked or not, although usually unexpected. Alternatively, “sound” can be used as an adjective to describe a genuine, nice person.
Synonyms: Cool / Awesome / Good
“To be part of team Searchability you have to be sound. This value is a really big part of who we are, and whether it’s a conscious thought or just an engrained moral compass that guides our behaviours, it is helping us become not only a fantastic company to work for but also a company that is delivering a five star service for our clients and candidates too.” – Martin Blythe, Founder
We launched Searchability’s “Feel Sound” time in January 2020, to help provide a better work-life balance and more flexibility to our employees. Not only does this drastically increase your paid holiday entitlement, but Feel Sound time can be booked without notice, in as little as half an hour slots, straight through our HR app on your phone!
“Feel Sound” was introduced as part of our wellness programme alongside our #ThirdThursday events, we wanted to give our people the choice of how they use this time, because wellness looks a little different for all of us.
Our employees have already taken advantage of “Feel Sound” time for things like:
- Needing a lie in on a Monday morning
- Getting to an early gym class
- Taking a long lunch to meet friends
- Going for a mid-week hair-cut
- Heading to the pub on a Friday
*16-24 hours Feel Sound Time per annum is based upon a full-time employment arrangement, part-time will be allocated pro-rata
