The Mission

Founded in the Mitten.
Built for Michigan Workers

I started Work In The Mitten to help bring talented Michigan Workers and great companies together. We do this by showcasing the best workplaces in the state, and by creating a platform where workers can share their experiences and signal which companies are truly the best to work for.

The Why?

Established 2026

It all started with a job search. We noticed a massive disconnect. Job boards were just that—boards. They listed openings but didn't capture the culture, the vibe, or the real stories behind the teams. Workers were left to navigate a sea of text links with no real insight into where they might thrive.

"Why should I work in Michigan?"

Work In The Mitten was founded in West Michigan to answer exactly that. We aren't really a job board. We are a media-first talent platform built to show you what it’s actually like to build a livelihood in the 517, 616, and beyond.
