Our Smartian Shutdowns - Unplug, Recharge, and Thrive
A Word from Head of People Team
At SmartRecruiters, we believe that true innovation and productivity stem from a well-rested and engaged team. We understand the importance of stepping away to recharge, and our company shutdowns are a cornerstone of this philosophy. Here's what Lehua Stonebraker, SVP, People ar SmartRecruiters says about the impact of these vital breaks:
"We all know that you can’t pour from an empty cup—or spark innovation from an overworked brain! That’s why, at SmartRecruiters, we’re not just giving our team permission to rest during our Summer Smartian Shutdown—we’re rolling out the welcome mat for serious recharging.
For our employees, the shutdown is a real moment to unplug, soak up leisure, and return with bold ideas. For our customers, that means partnering with a recharged team ready to deliver fresh solutions and tackle tough challenges. And for SmartRecruiters, it’s our way of battling burnout and building a company where innovative, passionate talent thrives—because great work isn’t tied to a desk. So here’s to logging off, resting up, and coming back ready to do our best work, together."
