Job Description
We are dedicated to building the strongest team in the world. We are looking for someone who enjoys partnering with hiring managers to develop thoughtful approaches to recruiting talent across Africa. Our ideal candidate is passionate about not only building a strong team, but also a team that exhibits and leads with our core values.
This job is not easy - nothing is a plug and play model. Each role is slightly different - we hire for new teams in new markets with dynamic timelines and hiring plans that haven’t been tested before. You will be the person not only to identify and recruit talent, but also the person that gives pushback to hiring teams on timelines, compensation frameworks, level of hire, and team structure. This role requires someone that has excellent project management, stakeholder management, and a knack for leading with authenticity.
Is this the kind of challenge you are looking for? Read on.
