Are you convinced that the people are the most invaluable part of all organizations? Are you interested in becoming a part of one of the hottest trends in the world of start-ups today? Are you excited about joining the online ultra-fast grocery delivery service business pioneer and driving the trend forward? Then this may be the right opportunity for you.

1. Scour the ends of planet earth in search of solid personalities and technical skill sets that will flourish within Blok.
2. Act as a brand ambassador for Blok. Strive to provide a candidate experience that is not Blok-centric, but rather candidate-centric. We may not work with all candidates, but all should have positive impressions about Blok.
3. Evaluate candidates within their own unique context. Always bear in mind that people have their own unique stories.
4. Not be limited by our current ways of sourcing candidates. Find new ways. Create them if necessary. Widen the range whenever possible.
5. Work together with interviewers from the technology team to accurately determine candidates’ technical expertise.
6. Travel (Covid-permitting!) to places that become major sources of recruitment, both to conduct real-time interviews and follow-up with onboarded talents.
   Requirements

1. English is an absolute must. An increasing percentage of our candidates use English as their language of preference.
2. Energy. Quickly absorb Blok's unique energy, and exert that energy in your communication with potential recruits. You are, after all, an outward-facing representative of Blok, a startup that is a pioneer in the ultra-fast grocery delivery industry.
3. Resilience, because often you’ll get hyped about a potential candidate, but for one of many valid reasons, it may not work out. Remember that matching job-seekers with employers is after all a rather complicated matching process.
4. We should know the rules to win the war for talent. Bear in mind legislative processes and cross-cultural differences.
5. Previous background in talent acquisition, especially in early-stage technology-first startups would be a strong advantage.
6. The ability to evaluate technical skills is preferred, but not an absolute requirement.
   
   Who You Are

1. A visionary, who is invested in the vision of making Blok a world-class, people-centric organization.
2. An empath, who sees the success of their organization and its people as their own success.
3. A perpetual learner, who stretches their boundaries and enjoys new ideas.
4. A doer, who takes initiative regardless of boundaries and works well in a team.
