3. one
Hello
We are a global community of talented individuals who work
together to provide marketing, sales, HR, finance, legal and admin
services to companies around the world.
Clients are serviced by a carefully curated team of Hoxbies, all of
whom are freelance and have chosen to work on the project,
bringing an unparalleled level of passion to each brief in hand.
Our revolutionary community model provides a uniquely flexible
way for us to work together, and with our clients, without the need
for an office.
Members of The Hoxby Collective have the freedom to choose
where and when they work, so that it suits the other unique
aspects of their life - we call this ‘workstyle’ and we believe
everyone is entitled to have one of their own, that best suits them.
We provide Hoxbies with brilliant tools to collaborate online
rather than in an office because it makes them happier, more
productive and better at the job they do.
We believe that one day, everyone will work like this. (click to play video)

4. Work without bias
By giving everyone the freedom to choose where and when they
work, we remove the 9-5, 5-day-week structural bias from our
world of work and create genuine equality of opportunity.
By judging each other on the quality of our work, we create a
genuine meritocracy that removes emotional bias from our
working world too.
By creating our community as an example for others to follow,
we hope to inspire both individuals and companies towards our
vision for a world of work without bias, which we believe will
ultimately lead to a happier, more fulfilled society.
If you would like to be a part of the change in the world that we
are trying to create, please join us here.
If you know others who you think would like to join us or who
might simply support our cause please send them to
hoxbycollective.com

5. How it works
Each of the Hoxbies decide when and where they work, creating a
workstyle for themselves that fits with the other important
aspects of their life.
Depending on their circumstances, this will likely mean trading
traditional employment for self-employment, or a combination
of the two. There are certain tax obligations that come with this,
and we offer discounted internal support from an expert to help
Hoxbies ensure they are set up correctly.
It’s free to join Hoxby but we do have a comprehensive selection
process. If you are approved to join us, we then continually seek
to combine your skills with other members of the community to
create highly specialised teams that work together in delivering
services to clients. We never put one person on a project, but
instead always a combination of people who form a brilliant
team.
Our teams collaborate across time zones by using cloud-based
systems and proprietary processes to do so as effectively as
they would if they were working in the same room.

6. #GiveGet
We don’t guarantee anyone work within The Hoxby Collective, but
we do believe that you deserve to get out what you put in, so here
is a little more about what we ask our members to give, and what
you can expect to get in return:
GIVE
- Support and promote the workstyle movement
- Deliver exceptional work, seek to set a new standard
- Help us build the world’s most talented virtual community
- Use the tools we provide to help bring in new projects
GET
- A workstyle that fits around your life and changes to suit you
- More of the work you love (and less of the work you don’t) for
prestigious clients in industries that particularly interest you
- Belong to an inspiring community of talented and likeminded
individuals around the world
Our community is only ever as strong as the contributions we
make as individuals and so the ethos of #GiveGet is ever-present
in the way we operate.

7. Earn money
There are three primary ways to earn income through working
within The Hoxby Collective:
1. DAY RATE
You set your own day rate and get paid for chargeable work you
do. Business development is done for free, but if you have
worked on winning a client you have right of first refusal to work
on the project. There is no cost to being part of the community
and nothing is taken from your day rate.
2. COMMISSION
Members are expected to do other work outside the community,
but referring opportunities, or work to the community gets you
5% commission on the total revenue of the initial project – you
also have the option to work on any project you bring in..
3. EQUITY
Hoxby is 25% owned by members of the community who are
invited to become equity Partners based on throwing
themselves into the community, promoting the movement, and
doing brilliant work. The Partners receive a share of annual
company profits.

8. Support for Hoxbies
The Hoxby community succeeds by combining and sharing
expertise. Here are a few of the ways that we enable members to
provide support to each other:
SELF BILLING - We use a timesheet system and then invoice
ourselves on your behalf to save you needing to manage your
invoicing.
PAYMENT TERMS - Regardless of our payment terms with the client,
we pay all our Hoxbies 14 days after the end of the month when they
delivered the work.
TAX RETURNS - For UK Hoxbies we provide heavily-discounted
support with tax returns, and are looking to expand this worldwide.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT - We have our own development
framework and voluntary mentoring scheme to ensure The Hoxby
Collective is a long-term career choice
MEET-UPS - Whilst Slack is our virtual office, we recognise the value
of personal interactions too. Hence, each month we host a Hoxby
Home, renting a house for Hoxbies to work together and meet each
other. Breakfast and lunch are provided and we go for drinks
afterwards. We also have co-working groups and local meet-ups.

9. Our Services
The Hoxby Collective is made up of more than 300 Associates in
19 countries and growing every day. With sector expertise across
multiple industries, we provide bespoke teams of all sizes and to
fit all briefs, working alongside clients in the provision of
marketing, sales, HR, finance, legal and admin services.
The nature of the projects we undertake are hugely varied, and
dependant upon the expertise we hold within the community.
From advertising, to websites, internal training, contract writing
and PA services there’s a Hoxby team for just about everything.
The scale of our community means that we can provide clients
with access to an unprecedented level of specialist expertise
and allow them to only pay for what they really need. Our virtual
operating model also significantly reduces our overheads and
therefore our cost to clients.
These factors combine to make our pricing represent incredible
value when compared to our competitors still working within
traditional structures.

11. We started The Hoxby Collective with a vision to change the working world
in order to create a happier more fulfilled society. Since then, word of
mouth has driven our growth. Our community thrives by bringing together
exceptional people from around the world, whatever their specialism and
wherever they are. We welcome any level of experience and any workstyle,
as long as it motivates and inspires you to deliver your best work.
Aligning with our values and attitude as well as having a shared vision for a
better future of work is critical to be accepted into the Hoxbies. We are
looking for inspiring individuals to join us who will throw themselves into
the Hoxby family, so that together we can truly change the world.
We still feel like a startup, but have big ambitions and believe in
continuous improvement within every corner of the business and from all
our wonderful Hoxbies.
We are passionate about building a powerful community that enables
people to work on their own terms. If you want to join us then sign up at
