Not a typical day here at Sifted, but a good example of work hard / play hard. The crew at the bowling alley is the squad that I get to support day in and day out and we are hiring! If you or someone you know is a motivated go-getter ready to connect through calls, emails, and other strategies to secure meetings with new prospects, this may be the perfect opportunity. Hit me up. Must be local to KC

"I think everybody understands at this point that you aren't just going to get a 5.9% [increase]." In our GRI Analysis LeaderShipping episode, host Jeremy Lee and guest Mark Kolde break down what the rate increases could really mean for your profile. Spoiler alert: higher weight, longer zone shipments could feel the impact the most.

Casino Night was the perfect way to end Winter Sync in style! 🃏🍸🎶 We transformed the office into an unrecognizable space with hors d’oeuvers, festive drinks, casino games, raffles, a DJ, and a photobooth. The Sifted team knows how to work hard & celebrate big. Grateful for the memories and the Community Champions who made it all possible.

Following our business update at Winter Sync, we all broke to enjoy lunch with our teams! It was fun to show our remote teammates a taste of KC and spend some extra time catching up with each other. It’s not every day we get (almost) everyone together in one place! Now the only thing left to do was go home and get ready for a night to remember.

Last week we held our annual Winter Sync ❄️—a time to connect with coworkers, reflect on a great year and let loose! The day kicked off with a business update, where we recapped the launch of SiftedAI and shared an exciting look at what’s next for our product. 🚀 We also got to celebrate employees making a BIG impact at Sifted: All Company MVP - Kevin Knowlton Marketing MVP - Grayson Gilbert Logistics Intelligence MVP - Nicholas J. Ebmeyer Client Ops & Support MVP - Betty Russ Sales MVP - Juan Archila Engineering MVP - Jay Michels Finance MVP - Zack Zegunis And those who most embody our values: Commitment to Clients - Leanna Evans Innovation - Cameron Clark Focus - Katie Souder Results - Nick Koontz Teamwork - Jeff Larison The day didn’t end there though… (to be continued 😉)

I love this team. I love the work we put out into the world. I love that we took a pause last week to celebrate it all. Cheers to 2024 and all that 2025 will bring! 🥂 We missed you Grayson Gilbert & Matthew Brucks!
