Office Hours
Tell top candidates why they should consider YOUR workplace. Mirroring our popular podcast Outdoor Dream Jobs, Office Hours is a chance for brands to highlight what's cool about their culture and perks within a dynamic setting, with hopeful candidates listening and asking questions real-time. Efficiently answer questions that come up and again and again and take this rare opportunity to really sell your brand to the future talent who will make it great.
Office hours will last 1 hour & 20 minutes via Zoom (it goes quick), and interviews will be hosted on the Basecamp website and YouTube channel as evergreen content.

“Within minutes of posting a freelance gig on Basecamp, I had five qualified candidates contact me. One person started the next day and has worked out great for our needs.
My biggest sadness was not being able to hire everyone—they were all friendly, knowledgeable, and (bonus!), people I’d love to have a beer with.”
Erin Beresini, Outside Magazine
