PLAYBOOK
v1.2 - November 2020

3. We are CodeControl. We care about professionals:
finding, supporting, growing, and nurturing them.
Our team, our talent, our partners, they’re at the
heart of everything we do.
We won’t stop short of that.
This is what gets each of us out of bed in the morn-
ing. And it’s what drives us as an organization.
We started with some of the world’s most talent-
ed freelancers and dedicated ourselves to match-
ing them with world-class projects and companies
who needed their services.
We’re now building a vibrant community of pro-
fessionals over the world and helping to influence
a movement.
Humans first.
We exist
to enable
professionals
to realize
fulfilling work.

5. Our people are what make this all possible: their
dedication, their passion, their experience, their ex-
pertise. Without them, we’d just be another hiring
firm. But we’re not. We’re helping to shape the fu-
ture of work and serving professionals every step of
the way.
If you’re reading this, you’re one of those special peo-
ple. And you make this place special. Thank you for
being part of our tribe.
With any tribe, there are things that keep us togeth-
er – values that we live by and beliefs that we share.
Our own code... or DNA.
Welcome to the
CodeControl
Tribe.
VALUES

6. Even when things are crazy, we find time
to support one another. To make each
other successful. We’re all in this togeth-
er. And we’ll always lend a helping hand
to those in need.
1. Support others.
We trust our each other. We encour-
age each of us to take pride in what
we do and leave things in a better way
than we found them.
2. Assume positive
intention.
VALUES

7. We don’t wait for permission to pro-
pose solutions. We embrace challeng-
es and are not afraid of getting our
hands dirty - until we are done.
4. Take full ownership.
VALUES
7
We’ll always try yet sometimes we’ll
fail - that’s part of life. But when we
do, we always reflect, learn and take
these lessons with us moving for-
ward with new experiments.
3. Try, fail, learn.

8. We believe in openness. In asking
questions and communicating with-
out fear.
5. Act transparently.
We believe in a location-agnostic work
that includes everyone wherever and
however they choose to live it. We de-
sign a work environment together with
no second-class team members. We
value face to face time together once in
a while - even better when there is no
global pandemic.
6. Always think
remote first.
VALUES

10. We’re living in exciting times.
We believe the future brings opportunities for all
professionals. Opportunities for more purposeful
work, more autonomy, and more connection.
Yes, things are changing quickly. But change
can be beautiful.
We’re optimistic about the future. We view it
from a lens of optimism.
The future
means
opportunity.

11. A lot more tasks will be automated. But
humans will still be needed. Creativity,
collaboration, strategy, complex decision-
making, problem-solving, emotional in-
telligence, these are all human skills.
CodeControl offers great work opportuni-
ties for professionals. From human to hu-
man.
WE BELIEVE:
With more experience and skills, we’ll
have more control of our lives. More
choice. More autonomy. More opportuni-
ty to choose the path we take.
CodeControl empowers individuals to
find that agency and get closer to living a
self-determined life.
WE BELIEVE:
The future of
work is human.
The future means
more freedom.

12. With technology, we’ll stay connect-
ed with our people and collaborate
over a lifetime. Which is great, because
the complex challenges of tomorrow re-
quire us working together, today and for
a long time to come.
CodeControl connects fellow profession-
als and creates space for them to stay in
touch over time.
WE BELIEVE:
Continuous improvement will allow us to
keep up with the changing times. It will
also give us opportunities to work on a
range of things and live more prosperous
lives.
CodeControl sets the stage for meaning-
ful personal and professional develop-
ment.
WE BELIEVE:
MANIFESTO
12
Lifelong learning
will keep us fit.
Connections last
a lifetime.

13. Top down approaches are no longer fit
for purpose. Organizations are living or-
ganisms that must nurture their people.
They must be inclusive and celebrate ev-
ery type of work contribution. They must
adapt.
CodeControl operates as a fluid organi-
zation, welcoming freelancers, full-time
employees, and anyone in between.
WE BELIEVE:
Organizations will
never be the same.

15. This is only the beginning for us. The start
of a great story.
We’ll continue to evolve and grow; fail and
learn from our mistakes; break and re-
build processes; and question and refine
the ways in which we show up for one an-
other. And we’ll do it with patience, care,
and humility. Because that’s what tribes
do – they push forward and keep centered
on their mission.
Ours is to enable professionals to realize
fulfilling work.
Join us, we’re hiring!
The saga continues.
Here’s to that future.
