6 Company Values
​Play Chess. Not Checkers.
We value viewing the bigger picture. We do activities today to understand that everything we do is with a purpose. We at times have to accept the loss of a piece to eventually call a checkmate. Some losses are greater than others.
Team is family
This isn’t your normal feel good statement. Family has confrontation, arguments, encouragement, etc. However, at Nxt Level we fight for our own. We value that we have to have fierce conversations to grow together. You’re never going to let your family go down a path with a negative outcome, even if you hurt their feelings in the process.
​Results Driven Culture
Failing one time — or even several times — doesn’t make you a failure any more than losing one game makes you a loser. Failing can be a blessing or a curse. It can be a great teacher, make you stronger, and keep you grounded, or it can be the cause of your demise. The difference between a stepping-stone and a stumbling block is the way in which you approach it.
Create raving fans
Creating a raving fan is more than having customers brag about us. Yes, having loyal customers is a symptom of creating a positive culture with success associated with it. We have 4 core customers at Nxt Level: Clients, Candidates, Peers, and everyone else in the world interacting with Nxt Level’s brand. By creating raving fans, we will grow our customer base, have world class candidate experience, and be able to hire the best internal employees in the world.
Winning is a mindset
We are a results driven organization, but understand that winning in a mindset. We foster a winning attitude across the team to push the organization forward. We understand that losses happen and we work together. It’s nearly impossible to have an undefeated record forever and always. Winning teams understand what it takes to make it to the superbowl.
Headhunter & Proud
We are proud to be headhunters! You value the three C’s. Cold-call, Coffee, Campaign. We do not shy away from the fact that we’re a recruiting agency with a mission. You’re not afraid to pick up the phone to call the exact match to your role. You’re committed to do whatever it takes to get our clients the best talent possible.
