Employee reviews

Spotted Zebra's employees have anonymously had their say in what they think of the company

Spotted Zebra have been super flexible with my working needs and hours. As long as you are delivering your work there are few requirements on when/where I work.

There is a fantastic professional trust at Spotted Zebra. You are able to approach your work with autonomy and work flexibly to suit your own preferences and there is a budget in place to help you set up your home office. Our team are all remote but have the option to hotdesk or book office space as required (location for this is also flexible). Our founders are fantastic role models and regularly block time in their diary to collect children from school, take annual leave etc. Our people team are dedicated to bringing in benefits that help all team members such as healthcare and are open to suggestions to improve further. We are a mission driven company - helping to align people with opportunities that use and develop their skills, so they are happier and more productive at work. Our service can help to remove bias from talent decisions and make processes more fair/ equitable, this makes me feel proud and deeply engaged in my work.

About us

We are on a quest for extraordinary individuals who are mission-driven and aspire to create a profound and positive impact in the world by addressing the skills crisis. Our dazzle of zebras is a force to be reckoned with - they possess unwavering determination, take decisive action, push boundaries with innovative ideas, and thrive in an environment that offers autonomy, trust, and accountability to deliver exceptional outcomes.

The skills crisis is a colossal challenge, one that is expected to have a greater economic impact than the COVID-19 pandemic. The shortage of skilled workers is leaving millions of positions unfilled, and this crisis has been deemed by the World Economic Forum as one of the biggest challenges of our time, second only to climate change.

The world’s largest companies are transforming into skills-based organisations to survive, but most are struggling to do so without the proper tools. That's where we come in - we have built an innovative platform for workforce management that empowers companies to make skill-based decisions and thrive.

Our existing clients have already witnessed the positive impact that skill-based decision-making has on organisational performance, diversity, culture, and management insight. We have several FTSE100 customers and have recently secured £7.7 million in Series A funding.

We are now assembling the right team to help us become the leader in the multi-billion dollar skill-based workforce planning market. Our mission is clear and ambitious - we will unite 10 million people with opportunities at the world’s leading employers based on skills by 2030. In doing so, we will be driving a quarter of all people-decisions and will be making a significant contribution towards solving the skills crisis. We’d love you to join us and make a difference that will shape the future for generations to come!
