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.
Role and Responsibilities
- Scour the ends of planet earth in search of solid personalities and technical skill sets that will flourish within Blok.
- 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.
- Evaluate candidates within their own unique context. Always bear in mind that people have their own unique stories.
- Not be limited by our current ways of sourcing candidates. Find new ways. Create them if necessary. Widen the range whenever possible.
- Work together with interviewers from the technology team to accurately determine candidates’ technical expertise.
- Travel (Covid-permitting!) to places that become major sources of recruitment, both to conduct real-time interviews and follow-up with onboarded talents.
Requirements
- English is an absolute must. An increasing percentage of our candidates use English as their language of preference.
- 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.
- 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.
- We should know the rules to win the war for talent. Bear in mind legislative processes and cross-cultural differences.
- Previous background in talent acquisition, especially in early-stage technology-first startups would be a strong advantage.
- The ability to evaluate technical skills is preferred, but not an absolute requirement.
Who You Are
- A visionary, who is invested in the vision of making Blok a world-class, people-centric organization.
- An empath, who sees the success of their organization and its people as their own success.
- A perpetual learner, who stretches their boundaries and enjoys new ideas.
- A doer, who takes initiative regardless of boundaries and works well in a team.
