Scaleable solutions for world-changing companies
Canda is a collaborative group of great people who share a common goal of building teams for companies in the ‘for good’ ecosystem.
We want to inspire the next generation of conscientious founders to build winning teams. We'll do this by unearthing the exceptional talent their business needs to move forward; proven impact players that share their purpose and will shift the world into a new exciting era.
The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility
First we assess the flexibility options Canda provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure Canda is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.
We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.

What Canda employees think
Our company is remote first but we will often have to compromise to customer's requirements e.g. office visits once a week. I would like to be given the option to say no/find what works for me instead of just matching the customer's requirements
I really think we have got the balance right, everyone is trusted to deliver within their roles however they like to work. We amazing perks and bens - best company I have ever worked for, by far!
Love how flexible Canda are, the balance of working from anywhere and then having shared office space when we meet up as a team is just perfect, especially being based outside of London where I wouldnt usually have had access to work for such an amazing organisation!
Because we work with clients, we have to work in line with the clients flexibility as well, not only what Canda offers, so sometimes that is where the inconsistency can come from, when Canda is very flexible, but the client we work with may not be as much.
Maybe I'm biased, but flexibility seems to be a core part of the business culture.
Canda as a company are very flexible, we're also reliant on our customers being the same so occasionally there are barriers because of the service we provide
No, Canda is just great and I am so happy I am part of it. They really care about employees wellbeing, so flexibility is key.

Flexible working at Canda
Flexible working is significantly important at Canda. We're currently a fully remote, flexible company with team members in a number of cities across the UK. We do have access to co-working spaces which a number of our team utilise on a weekly basis, and all team members have full, autonomous access to. And did we mention we're a dog friendly office?
As with anything in the remote world, effective written communication is key to making agile working work for all stakeholders (managers, colleagues and customers). With any of the above scenarios, we ask team members to give as much notice as possible, adhere to the minimum expectations, place everything in their manager's diary and keep their status up to date on Slack and email.
For example, if team members need to adjust their core working hours to suit individual needs – no problem. We'd expect you to consult with their your manager and we will handle the request. Our normal working hours are 9am UK time to 5.30pm UK time, with an hour for lunch and an early finish at 4pm UK time on Fridays. We allow a maximum of an hour of flexibility either side of our normal working hours, once per week.
In regards to appointments and emergencies (we all have them!), there is no need to take holiday. However, team members are asked to make their manager aware and set up any required handover of tasks so as to minimise disruption for our customers.
Approach to diversity & inclusion
We love new ideas, we’re excited by new perspectives and we want to encourage everyone to apply. Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for jobs unless they feel that they tick every single box on a job advert; that makes us sad. We’re fully committed to finding the best person for the role and sometimes the perfect person comes from a slightly less traditional background - that’s a good thing! Everyone is welcome...
Canda is an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive environment for all of our applicants. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, colour, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability or other legally protected characteristics.
What do we think of Canda?
The hiring and talent sector has classically been notorious for its lack of flexible working. To see a brilliant company like Canda make big strides forwards in their own flexible working environment is a big win for anyone operating in this space.
