It was a holiday party - affix style 🎊

Working together every day is fun. But having amazing conversations over incredible food during business hours with our work mates? Weeeeelllllll, that's pretty fun too 🤓

We hand on heart mean it when we say, there is NEVER a dull moment with this bunch.

What is slack-splaining?... aaaand are you guilty...?

Let us know!

Have you heard of Slack-splaining yet? It’s the act of adding extra emoji's, exclamation marks and words into digital comms to make SURE we’re getting our tone across. You're definitely not alone if lately you've found yourself agonising over a simple sentence, or over-explaining to ensure your aren’t misunderstood.

Since the *big bad* covid times, we've been living in a largely remote-first world, and effective communication can be a BIG challenge. Let us know what's going on behind your screen - are you SUPER guilty of slack-splaining? or don't think twice?

Some interesting stats from a recent report:

🙋‍♀️ 97% of people surveyed feel the need to add something extra in digital communication to clarify tone.
✏️ 93% felt the need to write multiple sentences to fully explain something
❗82% have felt the need to use extra punctuation like multiple exclamation marks
✅ 77% have felt the need to use emojis.
😅 62% say miscommunication negatively affected them.

To check out the full report LINK IN BIO 👉 🔗 and let us know, when it comes to emoji use, is it necessary? A waste of time ? Or simply part of modern communication?

Ever felt like someone was REALLY on your side? We mean... really in your corner and behind you 110% of the way? That's what working with Kayla feels like.

Her YEARS of tech experience 💻 mean she's always one step, no... TEN steps ahead when working on landing you your dream gig✨. Ready to make that (often nerve-wracking) leap in your career? Lucky for you, Kayla will advocate, research, connect and make YOU the centre of her universe when working together.

When you your focus is honed-in on building your tech career, whether that's cloud tech, dev-ops & or data science, Kayla has GOT IT COVERED.

Funny that… we actually can't think of a time we *haven't* felt like Kayla's GOT IT COVERED.

We also can't think of a time when she isn't laughing, sharing funny tik-toks or showing us pics of her birds being cute with a capital C. 🦜🦜🦜

So with that, we wanted to wish our teamie Kayla Lombard a massive happy anni, we know you're going to absolutely ROCK year two 😉

Have you (perhaps unconsciously) been writing with a gender bias? More intense, "masculine"-coded language in a job ad quickly signals to the reader that one gender would be a better fit for the role over other genders. This includes using words such as 'ambitious', 'competitive', 'rockstar' or 'hacker'.

So when it comes to finding the best person for a team? Every. word. counts.

That's why we're fans of the cool humans at Textio and Applied who have set out to help us resolve unconscious bias. We know, gender-coded language in job descriptions is a common barrier to creating inclusive workplaces. So...? We educate ourselves & test it!

Both Textio's bias detection, and Applied’s writing improvement tools are free for you to run a report on some of your own copy/ emails/ job ads and see how you score! (LINK IN BIO 🔗)

P.S. Our Tech Talent Partner, Kushla, loves chatting about how to address the tech gender imbalance and has done some great work with our partners 99designs (read all about her experience ON THE BLOG 👀 👉((link in bio))

Guess what!? Today affix is 7  🎉🥳

When Jarrad started this journey (on this very same day) he had *no* idea what we would look like 7 years on. 

31 humans, 3 office dogs, one spicy pandemic, 2 countries, several hundred brand partners later. What. A. Journey. It's Been.

And for every year so far? we're endlessly grateful. If you've worked with ANY of the gorgeous faces here, we wanted to say thank you. Thank you for trusting us to help you kick career goals. For looking to us on your journey when growing your team. Or for simply being a mate, and following along with our antics 🤪. Without you, we would not be who we are today.

As today OFFICIALLY marks the beginning of our birthday month, we're for shouting from the rooftops how proud we are of each and every one of these faces and how they make us uniquely "us"

And for that? We think it's time to ready the confetti canons, light the candles, and pop the champagne because it's been 7 years of affix! 🎉
