An exciting perk we offer is our Thumbtack Bucks benefit — where employees get reimbursed for hiring pros on Thumbtack. See how Michael Drob (he/him), Software Engineer, got creative with his Thumbtack Bucks to enhance a fundraising event. “We hired a sommelier for a fundraising event that we hosted at our house for a charity that we really love. We wanted to showcase wines from 5 different regions and cook and serve region-appropriate pairings. Ilana, our sommelier, helped us pick the wines, suggested food pairings and cheeses and was an absolute delight to work with. All of our 45 attendees loved her presentation and the event. And, communicating via the Thumbtack app was fantastic!”

Using a tradeoff matrix - a process for visualizing the relative merits of different options according to ranked criteria - can optimize choices and move projects forward with confidence. In his recent Thumbtack blog, P.J. Linarducci, Chief Product Officer, shares his five-step process for visualizing the merits of different options. With these simple steps, you can break down the most complex problems into easy to understand tradeoffs and drive your team to clarity. More importantly, you’ll make more informed, better choices.
