Our Work Culture
The roster isn't full,
but it's selective
Wherever you start here, you won’t stay there long. Why? Because sport taught you discipline and grit. We’ll teach you business at the speed and intensity that matches your efforts.
We're dedicated professionals who know that connection, camaraderie, and a little fun are essential
9 Innings. Real work. No filler.
You are not here to watch from the sidelines.
From week one you are in the field, on the scoreboard, and accountable

Testimonials
This isn't for everyone, but it might be for you. Who will you work with?
I was drawn to the performance based nature of the business and looking for a space to nurture my entrepreneurial mindset.
I get the most from the people and the personal relationships I've built at Evolv. I feel that during my time here, I've had the opportunity to network with great business minds that understand the power of selling in the sense of not only selling a product but myself as well.

"It gave me the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. The person I was when I started wouldn’t recognize who I am today. I also valued the control over my income, my growth, and ultimately my success. It was rewarding knowing the results were up to me. On top of that, the culture made it special. We work hard, have fun, and enjoy experiences like dinners, sporting events, and travel that made me proud to be part of the team."

"What initially attracted me to the business was the opportunity to create your team from the ground up."
Johnathan Wynter
Your friendly Multilingual Medal Collector
"What initially attracted me was the growth opportunity. I was drawn to the fact that my progress isn’t capped or dependent on waiting years for advancement, it’s based on performance, effort, and mindset. I’ve always known I wanted more for myself, and I didn’t want to feel limited by a traditional timeline or someone else’s ceiling. I wanted to be in a place that would stretch me, challenge me, and push me to level up both personally and professionally. Evolv felt like a place where I wouldn’t stay the same, where growth is intentional and expected. Having ownership over my development, knowing that the effort I give directly impacts how far I can go, is something I truly value and take pride in."

"Progression ~ The process of developing or moving gradually towards a more advanced state~
The extremely simple layout for progression and supportive systems around me is ultimately what brought into the business.
The energy in our office is so high and so welcoming I’d describe it as my biggest take away from company culture . From the morning atmosphere to our team group-chat everybody is so supportive and energetic to the point of infections."

How does Evolv interview?
If you are considering a role in our current cohort for 2026 Q2, here is exactly what you can expect. 7 steps every one is intentional.
Scouting
Before you apply, we are already looking for top talent. We go deep on the impact you made at previous roles. We look for examples of being a good student, trying hard things, leadership experiences and green flags for skill up opportunities. You will speak with our Talent Scout Team who will guide you through our progress every step of the way.
Hiring team conversation
Real questions about real situations. The environments that pushed you, the ones that did not. You may meet the founder here. We are listening for how you think, not just what you have done. These are held by our Sales Managers and recruiting leads.
Peer conversation
Candidates get deeper insight to the role from a team member already in their seat. Catches what a structured interview cannot best shared values filter we have. Learn more on Peer Interviews here.
The Challenge
If there was something you wanted to get across in the interview but did not get the chance to, this is where you say it. We are also looking at whether you have done the work. Not to catch you out, to see if you have taken the time to genuinely understand the role, what progression here looks like, and the meaningful work we do for the clients and causes we represent.
Founder conversation
This is the 4th down moment. Sean Hayes runs this one personally. If you are here, we already believe in you. This is about alignment so expect directness. So ear the yards.
The Offer
Often we have a few in the starting line for a role. You receive a personal phone call form the Evolv leadership team. We make offers to people we intend to back all the way. What you receive reflects what the role demands and what we expect you to build from here.
Onboarding
Paperwork, office tour, time with your dedicated trainer, and a buddy who can show you the ropes.
First day
Detailed outline of your individual training plan. All-hands morning meeting with the whole company from day one. You are part of the team!
What kind of person actually thrives at Evolv?
What we look for in practice: coachability, the willingness to be wrong, hear the feedback, and change; competitive drive, not against colleagues, but against their own standard from yesterday; and character under pressure, how someone behaves when it is not going well is more revealing than any interview answer.
What are common misconceptions about Evolv?
Misconception: “Because we’re growing, promotions happen automatically.”
Reality: All promotions are 100 % performance‑based. We promote from within using a clear, merit‑driven framework. Consistency, professionalism, and measurable results, not seniority, drive career moves.
Misconception: “We’re a typical marketing agency that works for anyone."
Reality: We specialize in nonprofit marketing. Every strategy, tactic, and piece of content is built around the unique mission‑driven goals of our client.
Misconception: "We’re only about events.”
Reality: Events are a core strength, but they’re part of a broader data‑driven, omnichannel approach.
Does Evolv have an internship program?
YES! Ten weeks. Real reps. Real money. Real path forward — come find out if you belong here.
