Listed below are our fundamental beliefs. They guide us in all our decision-making and help us determine if we are on the right path.

We lead with empathy.

We are problem solvers and we recognize that the first step is to have an intimate understanding of our users' unique experiences. Whether it’s working with a candidate to get them a job they love or working with a team member on a project, we always listen and ask questions. We aren’t one-size-fits-all; we provide thoughtful solutions, celebrate differences, and commit to collaboration.

Alignment is at the core of everything we do.

We align incentives to ensure everyone gets what they need and is motivated to work together. We also understand the importance of aligning ourselves with the facts. We don’t worry about being right in a discussion; instead, we focus on uncovering what’s true. Our team members measure and document everything to ensure we communicate well, make informed decisions, and do our best work.

We innovate.

Our commitment to innovation allows us to constantly evolve and find the best solutions. We know we won’t have all of the answers right away, so we’re obsessed with learning. We seek out experts who inspire and challenge us to raise our standards for creativity. We take feedback seriously. We have the self-awareness to admit when we’re wrong and the courage to make the necessary changes. We constantly learn from our users, advisors, mentors, and team members, and push ourselves to find thoughtful and creative solutions.

We are thoughtful.

We are critical thinkers who value idea-sharing when it’s thoughtful and clearly communicated. We’re open-minded but not naive. We do not believe in things just because they are popular or sound good—we dig deep, do our research, and form our own opinions.

We believe in encouraging growth.

At the heart of our work is a desire to help people grow. We know growth isn’t easy and comes with a set of challenges. We believe in providing tools that allow people to feel supported and confident in their ability to grow. We meet people where they are and empower them to think for themselves, never just spoon-feeding them answers.

We take responsibility for our commitments.

People trust us to do what we commit to, and that trust comes with great responsibility. We always follow through and hold ourselves and each other accountable. We operate with a deep sense of ownership and integrity and demand the same from others.

Outlined below is the way we speak and write at Edvo. It is our consistent tone of voice in all communication.

Be conversational but not unprofessional.

We’re personable. We type the way we speak, and we’re not afraid to use emojis 😉. We’re not cold or robotic; we value authenticity and a personal touch. That being said, we always want the people we’re communicating with to feel respected, comfortable, and productive.

Be empathetic but don’t wallow.

We speak from a place of compassion and understanding, but never pity. Our language is positive and solution-focused.

Be optimistic but not unrealistic.

We cheer people on, but we don't set unrealistic expectations or make empty promises. Instead, we use positivity and offer actionable advice to align them with their goals.

Be thorough but not overwhelming.

We’re a guide, not a lecturer. We are knowledgeable and take pride in how easily people understand us. We break down complex concepts, presenting them in a manner that allows access and comprehension.

Be honest but not cruel.

We value honest communication and know that sometimes people need to hear a harsh truth. We provide feedback that’s always constructive, thoughtful, and with the recipient in mind. Our intention is to never offend or hurt anyone; instead, it’s to help each other grow.

Below is our official logo that represents Edvo everywhere. It’s round, friendly, and looks great on its own or paired with beautifully set type. It’s easily recognizable and we wear it proudly!

For brand consistency, it’s imperative that the Edvo logo is only used in the ways specified below and never altered or distorted.
