ABOUT THE COMPANY

Seso is the first end-to-end recruiting and workforce management platform for the agriculture industry. Our mission is to provide agricultural workers with meaningful, safe employment opportunities; provide security for the most critical aspects of America’s food production system; and reduce admin costs to employers through software. We are addressing American farmers’ biggest pain point - access to qualified labor - through a software-enabled labor solution that automates the H-2A visa, an uncapped visa for seasonal farmworkers. Seso has raised over $30m in capital from Tier I investors including Index, Founders Fund, NfX, and more. You can read about Seso's recent $25m Series A here.

CULTURE

How do you show employees you appreciate them?

We cultivate a culture of gratitude in our daily interactions and we encourage connection by hosting happy hours, trivia events, team dinners, and virtual games. We celebrate birthdays and work-anniversaries. We also hold annual company retreats to ensure the company has the opportunity to spend quality time together in person despite being a remote-friendly company. Last year, we hosted our company retreat at a farm in Sonoma where we went to a local wine tasting, held a cooking competition, and brought in a meditation expert who conducted team bonding exercises and training on transcendental meditation. We also got to visit one of our vineyard clients in Sonoma! This year we’re planning a retreat to an airstream camp in Yosemite. In addition to retreats we also do farm visits to clients as well as to the CEO's family farm. This gives employees the opportunity to appreciate each other, our customers, and the work the farmworkers we provide visas for do on a day to day basis. We also have a company book club, a virtual board game club, etc. Additionally, our CEO is a big foodie so we try to fly everyone to the office a couple times a year and do fun dinners with great food!

How are you creating a workplace of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?

Inclusion is at the heart of Seso. Our mission is built around helping migrant farmworkers find meaningful, safe employment opportunities in the US. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion as a leading tenant of our core values because we believe these lead to a stronger company culture, more diversity of thought in our decision making, and more trust amongst each other. As a company that is focused on making guest worker immigration easier for both employers and agricultural workers, we bring diversity to the front of our business. Our company values match our mission. From leadership to the front line, diversity, equity, and inclusion is a team effort. We celebrate and promote individuality and foster a culture of belonging, encouraging people to express themselves while appreciating differences and commonalities. 70% of our company are Spanish speakers, reflecting the population we serve at the core of our business and more than 50% come from underrepresented populations.

Why should someone work at your company?
