We are Kandidate.com – a London based online recruitment startup that has helped 100+ European tech companies hire, from VC backed startups to pre-IPO scale ups.

We are an international 30 people team with offices in London & Warsaw, with remote team members across Eastern Europe & the US.

What we do

Kandidate is building the most effective hiring solution for startups and tech companies, hiring for sales, marketing and operation roles.

We are a two-sided recruitment marketplace, connecting 14,000+ candidates who have signed up to our platform with startups that are looking to hire. Top tech companies choose us over traditional recruitment agencies as we help them hire top candidates faster, at a more competitive price point and offer a better user experience. Tech professionals value the job matching accuracy, better user experience and transparency we offer.

We offer two products: 1) Clients can access candidates directly through our platform, with the support of our sourcing team and Talent Partners. 2) We also offer an on-site hiring option for startups at a rapid hiring phase, where we will send our dedicated Talent Partner to work with our client at their office.

REQUIREMENTS
Who we are looking for

This is a unique role where you will begin as a Talent Sourcer supporting our clients, before becoming our People Operations Manager, where you will recruit for internal roles and take care of our HR needs. This is a Warsaw based position.

We are looking for a smart and driven person with at least 1-2 years of recruitment experience, ideally in a startup or tech company. Our salary offering is flexible and depends on your experience (see 'salary transparency’ section for details).

In the first 3-6 months, 75% of our role will be based on Talent Sourcing and 25% will be as an Internal Recruiter. By Jan 2020, assuming your skills have progressed to the right level, you will be given the option to work fully on our internal recruitment needs, or become a senior talent sourcer.

Here’s what you’ll do as a Talent Sourcer:

– Work directly with our friendly Talent Manager team in London, who help some of the UK’s most exciting startups hire
– Source candidates using our internal platform of 14k+ signed-up candidates, but also other tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and posting on job boards to source candidates

Here’s what you’ll do as an Internal Recruiter/ People Operations Manager:

– You will be our first and only internal recruiter, working directly with our Co-Founders and senior management

Where you will work

This is a Warsaw based position. In the first 6 months when you are primarily a Talent Sourcer, you will be working remotely with our London team most of the time. However you will also have access to our Warsaw office (a private office located in a very nice co-working space) and can work there whenever you want with our other Warsaw team members.

Salary transparency

We believe in being transparent with salaries right from the start. For this role, the starting salary is 6000 to 8000 PLN. The exact salary offer will be made based on your level of experience. If you have ~1 year of relevant experience, then you should expect 6000 PLN. Upon successful promotion to Internal Recruiter role, we will review and increase your salary.

This still be done using B2B work structure. We will need an invoice from you and you will be responsible for paying your own taxes. As a UK company, we do not require you to charge VAT on your invoice.

We don’t provide small benefits like sports card – we prefer to just pay you the best salary we can afford and you decide how to spend it! We do however provide a self-development budget for workshops and conferences you wish to attend.

Some of our team members use ‘TwojStartup’ in order to pay taxes at a rate of 14.4% with no ZUS requirement. According to this, 6000zl B2B would mean 5136zl and 9000zl B2B would mean 7704zl. For legal purposes we inform you that this is for reference purpose only, and not tax advice.
