At Zillow, we are adapting our hiring and onboarding practices to meet the rapidly evolving needs of our employees -- and our future employees. We’re moving quickly to redefine the future of our number-one most valuable resource: our workforce. Our new “distributed workforce” model expands our ability to attract exceptional, diverse talent. In many cases, it gives people the opportunity to work with us regardless of where they live. Check out the blog below to learn more about how to search for remote roles and to join our innovative workforce. #ZGLife
“I’m Rich Barton, and my pronouns are he, him, and his.” The sentence, spoken by Zillow's CEO during an all-hands meeting last year, reflected the company’s dedication to creating awareness among employees of the value of sharing pronouns. Pronoun sharing creates a safer space for those in the LGBTQ+ community who often need to explain their identity to coworkers or face being identified incorrectly. Zillow now offers virtual webinars and courses on the subject. Many employees have openly embraced the practice, adding their pronouns to their work and non-work email signatures, the company intranet, messaging apps like Slack and video conferencing apps and even their LinkedIn profiles. #ZGLife

Zillow introduced new benefits to help working parents during the pandemic, including more flexible work schedules and paid time off for caregivers. Because employees are our greatest asset, and families come first. #ZGLife
Election Day in the U.S. is just around the corner, and ensuring that our employees have the support they need during these times — including support to participate in our democracy — is a top priority.
