National Rescue Dog Day was this past weekend — and we wanted to shout out some of the furry coworkers that are bound to win employee of the month. We think it’s safe to say these pups enjoy our virtual-first working model as much as their owners do. 🐶

An exciting perk we offer is our Thumbtack Bucks benefit — where employees get reimbursed for hiring pros on Thumbtack. As a new homeowner, Nina Hand (she/her), Senior Recruiter, has used her TT Bucks to help with repairs from cracked windows to broken fences. 🛠️ “I have had several strange incidents as a new homeowner in the Bay Area due to the crazy weather. The first happened when our entryway window shattered due to elevated pressure. We had no idea how to fix it ourselves and used Thumbtack to hire AD Window Service to replace the glass. The second happened when a huge gust of wind broke our fence — two days before we were to leave the country for a trip. We hired Santos Contractor on Thumbtack to repair it the very next day and we were able to leave on our trip feeling relieved.”
We genuinely care about our employees. Which also means that we genuinely care about their mental health and well-being. Jordan Novotny (she/her) Sr. Support Operations Analyst, shares how Thumbtack has fostered a community and culture that supports everyone.
At Thumbtack, we want to provide our team members with the right type of emotional support and guidance at the right time. In addition to our healthcare benefits, we also provide access to benefits like Modern Health and Therify for private therapy and mental health resources.

Our Access ERG seeks to highlight different visible and invisible disabilities to increase awareness and a sense of community by providing a safe space for employees to share their experiences, ask questions, and get support or resources.
