Company Background

Corporate Tools is a SaaS and business services company based out of the Inland Northwest. We create tools that reduce the amount of friction involved with forming and maintaining a business.

Our clients range from small business owners to massive corporate conglomerates. Our services include registered agent, company formation, compliance filings, credit card processing, and web & phone service.

Founded in 2014, Corporate Tools started out with just a handful of people. Since then, we’ve grown 40-60% every year. Now we’ve got over 1,200+ employees working in all 50 states.

 

What’s Unique about Corporate Tools

We’re not investor owned. We have no debt and never have. Not even a credit card balance. And that’s our superpower.

Being debt-free gives us ultimate independence as company. We’re free to focus on making good software and services that truly serve our customers, rather than churning out mediocre products just to satisfy whoever writes the check.

No matter what they claim, other big corporations in the market will always be focused on profit. And those profits go right back into chasing more profit. It’s an endless cycle of suck. At Corporate Tools, our profits go back into supporting our people. We prioritize employees, customers, then profit—and always in that order.

 

What it’s Like to Work Here

Our goal is to make this a job that challenges you, supports you, helps you grow, and doesn’t make you miserable in the process. We’ve laid out our core Company Principles if you want to read more about what we really care about.

 

Day-To-Day Experience

If you’ve worked at a company with 1,000+ people, you probably climbed the corporate ladder by talking big, sounding smart, and overcomplicating things. We do things a little differently.

At Corporate Tools, we prioritize taking real ownership over your work rather than just running through someone else’s checklist.

We want to give you the space, freedom, and support to try things, break things, and push your ideas beyond what anyone could hand you in a spec doc.

Some folks have described our environment as a little wild (even feral). We take that as a compliment.

 

How We Move

The usual corporate structure doesn’t work here because we’re not built like a traditional company.

When you grow as fast as we have, nothing stays the same for long. It’s a constant state of change. And that should excite you because change means opportunity. A chance to make a real impact. A chance for your work to matter to both our employees and our customers.

The people who succeed here love a challenge and thrive when a hard right turn presents itself.

 

How to Apply

If you’re curious, clever, and a little scrappy, we’d like to talk. But fair warning: our hiring process doesn’t look much like the standard corporate routine.

For starters, we don’t ask for a resume. That’s intentional. We found that stacking everyone up by job titles and neatly formatted timelines can’t really tell us what it’s like to work with someone. That approach rewards people who already know how to play the career game, which isn’t the same as being good at the actual job.

No resume or job title will ever tell us as much as your own words can. So if you think we’re a good fit for you, adjust your normal approach. Don’t upload a resume (we won’t look at it, anyway). Catch our attention with a solid cover letter. Show us who you really are and why you belong at Corporate Tools.

If that feels too awkward, it’s fine to move on and find a more typical job where the corporate robot playbook still applies. There’s no shortage of VC- and PE-backed companies funneling institutional money into small businesses and sucking the soul out of capitalism. Those places love resumes.

 

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for curious, honest humans who don’t need to posture to prove they’re great. Here’s what we actually care about seeing in your letter:

You’re a culture fit. We want folks who don’t go running when they read our Company Principles. Basically, we like working with people who can admit when they’re wrong, learn from it, and keep moving forward. If you’re on the same page, let us know and give us examples.

You talk to us like a human. It isn’t complicated. We want to hire people who are pleasant to work with, who treat others with respect, and who talk to us like they’re a normal person. So tell us who you are and why we caught your eye. And please, don’t use AI.

You have a skill we can use. We don’t hire for roles as much as we hire for people. We’re not interested in vague job titles or your GitHub link with no context. Show us what makes you tick—explain a really awesome project or how you solved a difficult problem. If we like you enough, we’ll find a way to make you fit.

 

The Interview Process

1. Full privacy. We don’t run your info through third-party hiring software, and we don’t store your data in sketchy cloud systems we don’t control. Everything stays in-house. You’ll only hear from us via [email protected] or over the phone.
2. Phone interview. If your cover letter catches our eye, we’ll email you to set up a quick call. It usually lasts under 30 minutes and helps us make sure we’re on the same page before moving forward.
3. Video or in-person interviews. If we’re on the same page, we’ll do a video interview. Depending on the role, we might follow up with a skill test or a real-world problem, either remote or in person, to make sure it’s a good fit. Either way, our goal is to give you a clear yes or no within a week of your initial interview.
4. Offer. You’ll hear from us fast with a job offer if everything clicks. We’ll let you sleep on the offer, feel it out, and make sure the vibe is right. No pressure. Once you’re ready to join the team, we’ll run a background check and get your remote or in-person onboarding set up.
