Hellebore is More than a Technology Company

As founders, when we started Hellebore we aimed to simply find ourselves work that was both meaningful and enjoyable.  It was a bonus that we would also get to work with people we liked.  As we have grown, we have turned this direction into a mission.  We don’t have growth targets and quarterly expectations we need to meet.  We have a team of really great people that know each other and care about each other.  Every day, we show up do meaningful and impactful work that helps great clients.

Hiring is the Most Important Thing We Do

As we continue to build the company, the individuals we hire will influence our success and our culture more than anything else we do.  This can be a good thing, or a bad thing.  To make sure it is a good thing, we continually refine how we are hiring to get the best results possible. 

We are looking for people that bring value across our organization.  We look for strong, individual contributors that click into roles, with shared values, and shared goals.  We ask ourselves: “Is this someone we want to spend part of our life with?”  People are that important.  

Great employees are high-bandwidth, creative thinkers.  They can deconstruct problems on the fly, talk people through their thought processes, engage with our clients, and work iteratively to build great products.

Hiring Right is Hard

Without consciously working at it, people tend to hire others who are like themselves.  We have to acknowledge this and use it to our advantage.  When we design hiring teams, we aim to keep them purposely diverse with respect to the kinds of people that do the interviewing.  There can also be an urge to hire someone that is adequate, especially when we have so much work to go about doing.  But lowering the bar to build up a team is not what we are about.  We must constantly Hold the Bar High, hire people more talented than ourselves, and continue to help those around us grow.

Hellebore is Self-Funded

We have never brought in outside investors. Since our earliest days, this has been incredibly important in providing freedom to shape our company and our culture.  We are free to make the decisions that benefit our employees, culture, and our clients.  We call this a win-win-win and it is key to how we make decisions about where to take the company.
