The recruitment industry for the most part is inefficient. Not to mention the fact the moral compass of the service being offered is a little skewed. At Welfound, we are going against the grain of this £30B+ industry to shift the focus from profit to people. We truly believe that real change only occurs when you do the right thing.
We are a social enterprise start-up that is developing the methodology of community-driven recruitment; by using technology and professional referrals to better connect people with jobs. We’re developing a digital platform to allow a community of people to connect their professional networks directly to hiring companies. With every successful referral, 50% of the fee paid by the company, will be shared back with the community.
We are community-centric and are looking for people who think the same way. People who are looking to challenge and be challenged to find thorough solutions for the community. We are not looking for people to come and build a company for us, we are looking for people to come and build a company with us!
There are plenty of moving parts of the platform that we won’t totally bore you with now, but for those who are interested, we can definitely talk you through the inner workings of all of its functions and more exciting what the future functionality looks like! As the tech team is edging closer to completing the platform, it means it is time to roll up the sleeves and let people know we exist!
We are looking for marketing support at both ends of the platform - community growth and B2B demand generation.
The community of professionals is intricate to what we are doing. As we creep closer to launching it has come time to start building out the foundations of said community. The community will consist of UK professionals who will use our digital platform either as a candidate or a referrer. We are looking for someone who has "been there and done that" in terms of building out a strong engaging community.
Then on the other side of the platform, there are the B2B marketing needs. This is a very noisy industry and we need someone to help us succinctly communicate what makes us different. We know what we want to say, but we don't know how to say it!
We care and we are looking to build a team that also cares. The team culture we cultivate is really important to us. Creating change is difficult so it is important we are strong internally to ensure we are capable of overcoming any obstacles that we come across. With that said there is an emphasis put on ensuring a healthy work/life balance for everyone, whatever that might be. Thoughts and opinions are also highly valued, as many minds make light work of those previously mentioned obstacles (that'll definitely pop up!). If this sounds like the sort of environment you resonate with and would excel in, it'll be great to hear from you.
