Our ways of working
Our office vibe
The Yellow Canary office is designed to support our flexible workforce. We have hot desks throughout with a clear desk policy to welcome our Canaries every day. We are mindful of each other in our space and book meeting rooms ahead of time for privacy.
We don't do meetings just for meetings' sake. At Yellow Canary, "async" is default, and we use communication tools such as Slack and Notion to collaborate on projects.
Maintaining team spirit
To keep our Canaries aligned on our shared goals and encourage in-person connection, we host quarterly team days for our employees across Australia. Regular team meetings keep our people connected and informed online.
As a hybrid workforce, we understand the importance of transparency. We work in a way that if any team member becomes unwell or heads on holiday, their work can be easily picked up by others. We communicate widely, and discuss projects in Slack channels, so no important details are lost in DMs or side chats.
Awesome benefits for awesome people
Our people are important to us and we strive to make sure they feel valued and looked after. Explore just a snapshot of some of our ever-growing people benefits below.

Our unique hiring process
At Yellow Canary we believe hiring is a two-way process. It is a chance for us to gain insight into your skills and drivers, as well as a chance for you to see what life is like at Yellow Canary, and the kind of work you’ll be doing.
We're proud of our talented, genuine and diverse people, and we want to make sure it's the right fit for new Canaries as our team grows. The below outlines our 3-step recruitment process that provides an open and transparent view into life at Yellow Canary.
Getting to know you
We start with a phone call to understand your interest in Yellow Canary, your experience, passion, and your working rights in Australia. After this, we invite you to have a longer discussion with our team to understand your previous work experience in more depth, as well as your work aspirations. It's important for us to leave plenty of time for you to ask any questions you wish.
Seeing your skills in action
We give you a challenge that is designed to provide insight into the work you’d be doing at Yellow Canary. We see this as an important equaliser in the recruitment process to allow the opportunity for different skills to shine. This is often a take-home exercise, followed by a deep dive discussion with a panel of Yellow Canary team members.
Knowing your values
The next interviews are a chance to chat with people across each team at Yellow Canary. We want to understand how you align with Yellow Canary’s values, and what you’ll add to our culture and ways of working. It’s an opportunity to see who you’ll be working closely with everyday. Once again, we love to hear all the questions you might still have!
An inclusive Canary community
We’re committed to making Yellow Canary a space where everyone can do their best work. We value the strength that diversity brings to life and the workplace, and we are committed to building a team that represents a range of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. If you don’t think you quite meet all the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you.
We create amazing solutions - and have fun in the process
At Yellow Canary, we work really hard to achieve great things, but we don't take life too seriously. Laughter is part of our daily lives as Canaries.
