Blok - Technical Recruiter

Introduction :

- Are you convinced that the people are the most invaluable part of all organisations? 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 pioneer of the online ultra-fast grocery delivery service business 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 for 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 in order 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.

- 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.

Who We Are :

Blok is a technology-first company, a pioneer of the online ultra-fast grocery delivery service business, and we are on our way to revolutionise how millions of people across countries consume groceries.
