Our journey started with small teams in our original offices, and today we're proud to be a virtual-first, not virtual-only company with team members spanning across the U.S., two Canadian provinces and the Philippines 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇵🇭. We've come a long way and we’re very thankful for the incredible dedication of our longest-tenured employees. Meet some of the individuals who've been with us through many phases of our growth: Ashley Powell, Kyle Nicolas Cabigon, Nicola Norris, Lauren Vieira and Arvie Angeles, CSSYB.

An exciting perk we offer is our Thumbtack Bucks benefit — where employees get reimbursed for hiring pros on Thumbtack. See how Michael Drob (he/him), Software Engineer, got creative with his Thumbtack Bucks to enhance a fundraising event. “We hired a sommelier for a fundraising event that we hosted at our house for a charity that we really love. We wanted to showcase wines from 5 different regions and cook and serve region-appropriate pairings. Ilana, our sommelier, helped us pick the wines, suggested food pairings and cheeses and was an absolute delight to work with. All of our 45 attendees loved her presentation and the event. And, communicating via the Thumbtack app was fantastic!”
