Pros

hackajob is a fast-paced scale-up with lots of opportunities for development and growth and there are so many talented people in the business that you can work with and learn from. The product has a very positive impact on the lives of our users and candidates which is extremely rewarding - it's always great to hear customer and candidate feedback about their experience and makes all the hard work worth it!

Cons

The fast-paced, high-energy environment may not be suited to all

Hi there Thanks so much for your review. It's wonderful to hear of your positive experience over the last 3-4 years at hackajob. It's particularly encouraging to hear about the many opportunities you've had for development and growth. One of our 5 Operating Principles is to empower our people to do the best work of their careers, which comes from an ongoing focus on coaching, supporting and feedback. Also great to hear about the positive impact you feel our product has on the lives of everyone we support. Our recent customer and candidate panel really stressed that point and it was very motivating to hear directly from our users on the difference we're making to businesses and job hunters. As you say, it certainly makes all the hard work worth it! If you'd ever like to discuss any further feedback, whether it's how we leverage our strengths more and/or how we address gaps and failings, please reach out directly to me on Slack or book in some time during our weekly People Office Hours every Tuesday. Thanks again, Amy, Director of People

Pros

The people are great, I get along with all my coworkers, and with a small team in the US, I feel that they have my back if i need support or help with anything. Training their employees to do a better job - investing in people. Great product, hackajob intelligence is amazing. Consistent and open communication with managers. They have invested into tools to help employees succeed. Expectations are clearly communicated.

Cons

Don't mind it personally, but for some people constant change can be a negative, and the company has startup energy. Wearing many hats and trying out new things all the time, less structure and more exploration, figure it out as we go.

Hi there I appreciate you taking the time to share this review. Your comments about the support within the US Team are awesome to read and we agree! I bet it was also great to be with the whole team at the recent RecFest (US) where hackajob intelligence was launched to the US market! Communication between managers/leaders and our people is something we've worked hard to improve so it's encouraging to hear that you feel it's open and expectations are clear. That, plus investing in learning and development for everyone really helps all of us deliver. We often hear feedback that ongoing change can create a working environment that's more challenging for some. This is an ongoing area of improvement for us, and we continue to try to find that balance between experimentation/newness and structure/consistency to find a better blend for everyone, but without losing the startup energy that has got us this far. If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve any aspect of working here, please reach out to me directly on Slack or via our People Office Hours. Thanks, Amy, VP People

Pros

I joined hackajob about 6 months ago as part of the growing US team. I felt very supported by my manager and the entire team throughout my onboarding. The US team is very collaborative and it's been a great experience to partner with and learn from everyone on the team. In the past 6 months, I have had many opportunities for growth and a clear career progression plan, which I appreciate. Wins are celebrated by the team and everyone truly works together to solve challenges that come up. I have had 3 sales roles prior to working at hackajob, and I have been nothing but happy with the support, opportunities for growth, and rewarding environment here.

Cons

As in any startup environment, things change quickly. Not necessarily a con, but it requires being open-minded and flexible.
