How we think about talent.
Integral is rebuilding professional services with AI. Our technology is one moat. Our people are the other.
More than 20% of our team has experience as former founders.
We decided to publish our internal handbook to create clarity upfront: what we believe, how we measure, how people grow here, and how to get in.

Joining Integral
What our hiring process looks like, and where Integral Academy fits.
Integral's three values.
When things get ambiguous, they are our north star.
We hire for these values and we promote by these values.
We use them to make tough decisions when things get ambiguous.
Eat the Frog
Start with the hardest thing. No complaining, no postponing. Name it, prioritize it, and get it done.
- Ask routinely: “What’s the frog?”
- Block thinking time. Find the lever first, then act.
- Help others find their frog, and protect focus.
Relentless Optimism
Positive, not naive. We put our energy into solutions, support each other, and carry confidence through every challenge.
- “Yes, this is hard, and we’ll get through it.”
- When things break, we talk openly about recovery and learnings.
- Consistency over sprints. Keep going until it sticks.
Calm Urgency
We move fast without moving frantically. Speed comes from clarity and preparation, not from noise.
- Identify the one biggest blocker and address it today.
- Raise risks early, with a proposal, not late, as a surprise.
- High standards, steady hands. Especially when it counts.
How we succeed as a team at Integral.
Most companies publish their values. We go one step further and publish our grading scale. Every person at Integral, in every role, gives and receives feedback every six weeks.
