Job Description
Learning curve vs. doing curve
Jan here the COO.I dont believe in preemptive learning. What youve learned so far doesnt really matter. No one will ask you about it. How many amazing things did you learn in your second semester of university Or in 11thgrade math class Its all quickly forgotten.
I believe in doing.
What have you done Because what you will do at Buena is something no one can ever take away from you. I also believe that learning is downstream from doing. Youll be able to say you placed 20 candidates in a quarter and built a system to handle 50 with an intern.You wont need to say that you learned to interview well design systems look for candidates in creative ways train juniors and prioritize well. Itll be implicitly clear.
I dont care what youve learned before or what you want to learn here. I leave that to the academic world. What matters to us is that youll do a lot here:
- People management: You will work directly with team leads of our portcos (portfolio companies) in understanding the personell structure and suggesting changes.
- Search & place candidates: Find creative ways (Buena hasbudgets) to find the right candidates in big markets (software engineers in Berlin) and niche ones (property manager in Dren a village near Cologne.
- Build systems: Youd own recruiting for the entire Buena group incl. the software for the job ads and improve the process that involves all hiring managers. Want to try out new processes or software Buena might be the best place to iterate fast.
- Diverse roles to fill: Youll hire property managers software engineers operators interns and many more roles. You wont get bored as each role has different hiring managers and requirements.
Work directly with the Leadership Team
You will work directly with the Leadership Team during hiring process and report to the COO. One could say that youll learn a lot from this but as mentioned above thats secondary. Primarily working with the leadership teammeans two things:
- You can do a lot: Your direct supervisor has the autonomy to approve everything and empower you to act quickly. To get a better understanding for what that means exactly ask the other members of the Ops team youll meet in our recruiting process about how budgets work here.
- You can grow with the company: In a few years Buena needs senior leaders to runrecruiting and HR functions. I want to prepare you for this development so thateven when Buena reaches 100 million or 10 billion in revenueyou continue to report directly to the Leadership Team. Or secure our angel investment for your own startup. #PaypalMafia
