SpellCraftPDX: Building an Equitable Future for All
At SpellCraftPDX, we are committed to diversity, and we are dedicated to creating a culture of equity and inclusion. We know that equity and equality are not the same, and that not everyone starts from the same place or has the same privileges. We recognize that we must actively work to level the playing field, ensuring that opportunities are accessible to all—regardless of background, experience, or privilege.
As a young company with big ambitions, we are shaping our future with these values at our core. From hiring to community engagement, we are making deliberate efforts to build a foundation that is rooted in fairness, opportunity, and social responsibility.
Our Commitment to Fairness and Opportunity
Blind Hiring Practices: We believe in creating a truly fair hiring process. Our blind application system ensures that all candidates are evaluated solely on their skills and qualifications—removing biases related to names, backgrounds, or personal identifiers. This allows us to focus on merit, ensuring that the best talent is always given the opportunity to shine.
Welcoming Diverse Skills: We actively seek transferable skills in resumes, ensuring that candidates from diverse industries or with non-linear career paths are not overlooked. We believe talent and potential can come from many different backgrounds.
Fair Wages and Benefits: We are committed to offering livable, sustainable wages, with cost-of-living raises and employee profit-sharing to ensure all of our team members share in the company’s success. Our approach supports both financial well-being and long-term job satisfaction.
Work-Life Balance: We value our employees' well-being and offer 4-day work weeks with flexible schedules whenever possible. Additionally, we support continuing education and enrichment activities, empowering our team to grow personally and professionally.
Empowering Communities and Partnering for Change
Giving Back: At SpellCraftPDX, we believe in the power of community. Our company-wide volunteer initiatives focus on making a real impact in underserved areas, and we actively contribute to organizations that create opportunities for historically marginalized groups.
Supporting Diverse Vendors: Whenever possible, we prioritize working with Global Majority-owned, LGBTQ+, and women-owned businesses. We are committed to supporting and uplifting those who are often overlooked in traditional business ecosystems.
Our Pledge: Growing with Integrity
As we grow, our commitment to diversity and equity will remain unwavering. We pledge to continue evolving our practices, but these core principles will always be the foundation of our policies. We are building a company that reflects our values—ensuring equal opportunities for all employees and applicants as we grow.
SpellCraftPDX is more than just a business—it’s a movement. We believe that by embracing these principles today, we are laying the groundwork for a more just and equitable future for all.
