We believe that “Love What You Do" is not just a motivational saying—it’s a career choice. When you choose the right company that aligns with your values, add incredible benefits with awesome colleagues, then you begin to really love what you do!

 

Tribal Culture

There is a collective sense of pride in the work that we do, and this is something that we promote through a fun, energetic work environment. We go above and beyond to put on all kinds of employee appreciation events that keep everyone laughing and enjoying their time at work, as well as offering amazing benefits to keep a great work-life balance. This creates a company comprised of diverse people who respect one another and want everyone in the organization to succeed.

 

A Winning Mindset

If you poll any of the employees at HomeAdvisor, they will NOT say their work is easy, but it is definitely worth the rewards. If you are willing to work hard, we make it easy for you to play hard. Work hard and you could be rewarded with trips to tropical islands, cash prizes, and the opportunity for a 6-figure income.  Plus, enjoy the day-to-day perks, including weekly happy hours, food trucks & social events. Not to mention Summerfest, our annual party that puts the traditional company picnic to shame. Redefining the benchmark of success requires hard work and sometimes long hours. We purposely design our workforce with people who have a winning mindset and reward them for it.

 

Our Work is Personal

Our people understand the power of human connection. We thrive on building meaningful relationships with others and enjoy helping people in the process. Everything we do at HomeAdvisor is personal. Every conversation is tailored to the individual. Ultimately, our job is to connect valued contractors with the homeowners who need them, and we understand that many of our contractor's livelihoods depend on our service.

 

Real People Making a Real Impact

At HomeAdvisor, our employees have the opportunity to contribute ideas and know their ideas will be listened to and valued.  Our teams don’t just succeed with what they are given, but are constantly pursuing new and better ideas and practices. We have a reputation for implementing employees' ideas that have a ripple effect from within our organization to create a positive impact in the community.

CULTURE

At HomeAdvisor, you’ll find ping-pong tables, arcade games, beach balls and food truck Fridays. You’ll also find a focus on health and wellness and a strong sense of pride and connection with your colleagues.

IN OUR COMMUNITY

HomeAdvisor knows that we feel good when we give back – and the company fully encourages us on our quests to feel warm and fuzzy. In addition to offering employees one paid day off to volunteer for the non-profit of our choice, HomeAdvisor holds several events and charitable drives each year to benefit community organizations. Our parent company, IAC, will also match any donations up to $5000 and double the impact for your favorite charity.

    I have been working at HomeAdvisor full-time (Less than a year)

    Pros

    Unlimited salary potential. Extensive training program. Everyone is very invested in your success. Lots of extra perks like time off, and fun events. Quality equipment.

    Cons

    Loud environment but you can get used to it. Monotonous and sitting for 8 hours can be tedious, but they do provide 2 breaks and a lunch, so that helps.

    Advice to Management

    Perhaps a bit more individual coaching rather than generic tips.
