Transparency Matters: Here Are Austin’s Most Transparent Startups

According to the Society for Human Resource Management, 40% of people who quit a role do so within the first 12 months of being hired.* One of the main reasons? Misaligned expectations between the recruiting process and what they actually encountered as a new hire.

Research conducted by the JobSage team in 2021 indicates jobseekers— especially those from traditionally underrepresented or marginalized groups— value transparency. For professionals of all backgrounds, especially those who fear workplace discrimination, the job search is all too often an opaque process where their important questions aren’t getting answered.
