Vetty, the one-stop shop hiring acceleration platform based in Austin, Texas, has announced that it recently won a Top 100 North American Inspiring Workplaces Award for building a culture rooted in trust, purpose and belonging. The recognition marks the first time Vetty has appeared on the list, following CEO Jason Putnam's individual recognition as an Inspiring Leader in 2025.

The Inspiring Workplaces Awards, run in partnership with Engagedly, honor organizations that treat culture as a strategic and measurable driver of performance, resilience and long-term success. Judges evaluating Vetty pointed specifically to the company's commitment to employee well-being, inclusion and belonging, noting that its integrated people strategy has produced a culture that is both intentional and operationally strong.

"The 2026 Top 100 North American Inspiring Workplaces honorees show that it is possible to maintain alignment between business goals and employee expectations."

— Matt Manners, Founder, Inspiring Workplaces Group

Culture as a Competitive Advantage

Vetty's leadership framed the award as validation of an approach the company has held onto since its founding. As organizations across every sector navigate rapid, AI-driven change, building cultures grounded in trust, alignment and accountability has become increasingly critical to retaining talent and sustaining performance.

"When people are empowered to do their best work, better outcomes follow — for our team, our customers and our business."

— Jason Putnam, CEO, Vetty

A Rigorous, Judged Recognition Process

Winning organizations were selected through a rigorous written submission and independent judging process, assessed across six core elements: culture and purpose, leadership, well-being, inclusion and belonging, employee voice, and employee experience. Vetty's inclusion in the Top 100 places it alongside a broad cross-section of North American organizations spanning technology, healthcare, financial services and beyond, and follows the company's earlier momentum after being named a finalist and its CEO's individual recognition the previous year.
