Values at Expel
Our values make us eXceptional!
We think it’s pretty simple. If we take care of our crew, they’ll take care of customers. That attitude is core to our culture. And we’ve worked hard to create a space where employees can do what they love. We know you have options and we’re hoping you’ll make us one of them. If you’re looking for a job with a mission to match your skills, then we want to hear from you.
Treat people like people.
This starts with being honest, consistent, and authentic and results in strong relationships built on trust. We gain a stronger sense of personal responsibility when we’re treated well and this enables strong performance.
Get it done. Do it together.
When we’re doing it right we’re in the same boat, rowing at the same speed, and going in the same direction. Win or lose, we do it together. So let’s win.
Improve continuously.
Everything must get a little bit better “the next time.” We improve by experimenting, getting curious and trying new things, all the while we “measure what matters.”
Intentionally transparent.
Success here means we have the info we need to make good decisions. We’re also aware we don’t have the right to know everything, and that’s neither reasonable nor desirable.

Great Place to work
What our employees are saying
Don’t just take our word for it, read what our employees are saying!
During my 5+ years at Expel, I've experienced growth, built relationships, and expanded my knowledge far beyond what I ever imagined possible. The people at Expel are the smartest, most hardworking individuals I've ever met and I've been lucky enough to learn from a lot of them. Expel encourages self-care, time away from work, and continued learning, which are just a few of my favorite perks. Expel puts their people first and makes work feel like a home away from home. I can't say enough positive things about this company and I feel so fortunate to have a place here.
Being at Expel for over 2 years now, it has been a journey of a lifetime. I've had the opportunity to contribute to a culture that I love and is ever growing. Software sales often issues tons of twists and turns. But with my team of impressive sellers, colleagues, and those building the product, I truly have the means to navigate toward unparalleled successes: making Expel a truly special place.
I've been working at Expel for a little over a year, and I really enjoy it because I get to collaborate with incredibly smart colleagues while working in a fast-paced environment that is exciting and driven by meaningful goals rather than fleeting trends. I feel valued for the work I produce, the opinions I hold, and the suggestions I provide. And if that isn't enough, the Executive Leadership at Expel is accessible and approachable (shout out to Zoomdoggle!), and that culture continues down my leadership chain. Overall, it's a great company to be a part of!
Two years ago, I found myself navigating the challenges of being a new mom while striving for success in my career. It was a pivotal moment when I decided to explore new opportunities outside my previous company. That’s when Expel came into my life. From my very first interaction with Expel recruiters to the insightful interviews with my future team and peers, I sensed something special about this place. Now, after over two years here, I can confidently say that my initial impression was spot-on. I joined a team of high performers who are not only driven but also genuinely supportive of personal and family priorities, which has had a profound impact on my life.

Our Process
Interviewing at Expel
At Expel, we believe "Hiring is the most important thing we do." That's why we've honed our process to ensure we bring in the best candidates who align with our values, mission, and vision.
Once you hit that apply button, rest assured that one of us on the recruiting team (yes, a real person, not a robot) will be taking a look at your resume. We receive thousands of applications each week and take the time to review every single one. Sometimes things get a bit hectic, so there might be a wait, but we’re on it. Thanks for your patience!
Once we’ve given your resume a good look, we’ll send you an email to let you know if we’ll be moving forward or not. If so, we’ll start with a 15-30 minute conversation with a recruiter to learn about you and make sure your experience meets the minimum requirements for the role and matches the expectations of the hiring manager. Your recruiter will be your main POC throughout your recruitment journey to potentially joining Expel!
Now it’s time to meet the team! First up is a more in-depth chat with the hiring manager, usually lasting 45 minutes to an hour. If all goes well, we move on to the final rounds – roughly 3 or 4 conversations with your potential team (give or take, depending on the position). For certain roles, like engineering, there might be a technical evaluation between the hiring manager chat and the final rounds.
Once you reach this stage, it’s decision time! We’ll evaluate whether to extend an offer, which might take about a week as we navigate through other candidates and finalize our process. Feel free to touch base with your recruiter if you’re experiencing pre-offer jitters.
If you receive an offer, congratulations! The next step is to make your decision and hopefully give your recruiter a nod and sign on the dotted line. After that, keep an eye out for an email detailing the onboarding process. Celebrate—you’re officially on board! Now, it’s time to dive into the exciting journey ahead!
