Recruiting Intern / Working Student
Root Global
🌎 What we do
We build software that helps companies along the food system get to Net Zero.
~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. For the first time in history, climate performance has become an overall business performance indicator. Enterprises are mandated by regulatory bodies to disclose their climate performance, which leads to increasing pressure from investors, competitors, retailers, and consumers to prevent and reduce their CO2e emissions. Over the next 10 years, companies have set ambitious reduction targets that need to be met. Enterprise software and new business processes can help.
We raised >€10m in funding in the first 2 years of our existence, we launched our enterprise product, signed and onboarded some of the largest F&B players in Europe, and put together what we believe is the best-suited early stage tech team in Europe. Will you be the next to join us? 🚀
🔭 What you will work on
Your mission
Over the next 12 months you will:
-
Be responsible for recruiting for Product and Operations teams
You will take over hiring efforts for those teams from the current freelancer
You'll be expected to run the end to end hiring process, from candidate sourcing, drafting and managing outreach campaigns, interviewing, pipeline management, and finally offer and hire!
⭐ You will be measured by:
How quickly you fill your roles with the top talent
How well you understand the Root culture and how selectively you choose the candidates that go into the rest of the interview process (meaning the conversion from recruiter screen to hiring manager interview is high)
🦾 How we support you
Meet the rest of the team
🤓 You will report to:
Eric (Root Global co-founder)
It is important to us to give you the best conditions for learning and career growth.. This is why we have designed our cap table in a way that all our early employees get functional experts as mentors by your side. See more of our other angel investors and mentors HERE.
🧺 What you bring along
You might be a good fit if:
You enjoy interactions with people
You are empathic and can read people quickly and adapt to their style of communication
You have an interest in what it takes to scale a company successfully
You want to have an impact in helping a small startup become a proper scale up!
🤗 You don't feel like you fulfill all the criteria? We get it: confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But guess what?! There is no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. The only thing you need to ensure along the recruiting process and beyond is that the problem that we are solving with Root is one you cannot wait to get out of bed for on Monday morning!
🎢 Hiring Process
Our ambition is to offer you an end-to-end experience that is fast and uncomplicated - we aim to keep the end-to-end process to 10 working days. We send you prep material for each step and maximise transparency at every step.
Get mentored by world-class company builders
We decided on our cap table with a clear goal in mind: Set our team up for success. This is why we have selected a diverse group of food industry veterans, generalist company builders, and functional experts to join our journey from day 1. Beyond entrusting us with their capital, our angel investors act as mentors and sparring partners for our early team members in their corresponding roles. You will benefit from:
A dedicated mentor with whom you will build your personal relationship
Regular sparring sessions whenever you see fit
Adhoc Q&A where needed
