AKA Talent Acquisition Lead, People Business Partner, Hirer of Humans.About AskableHey, we're Askable - the world's most loved user research platform. Loved by whom you ask? Woolies, Qantas, Canva, BUPA, CommBank, NAB, Telstra, BBC, Mastercard and hundreds more. Not bad right? Although we spent our first five years living the bootstrapped life, we've recently secured a significant venture capital round to, well, scale up. Headquartered in Brisbane, and with operations now spanning Australia, the UK, and the US, we're looking for the right person to take the talent acquisition reins and help strategically accelerate Askable' mission.High Level Role OverviewOur goal is to be a 10x team. What does that mean specifically? We resist hiring good people, and hold out for those who can 10x. We firmly believe:The only way to build something great is with the right people. It's our advantage.If we want to enjoy what we do, we need to be surrounded by great people.Which is where you come in….As our Talent Business Partner, your expertise will be crucial as we navigate this exciting phase of expansion. You will be responsible for scaling and leading our talent acquisition operations while working directly with the Hiring Manager to ensure they meet, hiring and onboard the best people for their teams.Here's a snapshot of your Askable daysBuilding a mega people pipeline across Engineering, Design, Product Marketing, Customer Success, Sales and Operations.Identifying and meeting candidates.Managing the candidate experience end-to-end.Partnering with the Hiring Managers across the organisation to ensure they have one eye on their immediate needs and another eye on future-planning.Iterating on our existing hiring processes to make our talent acquisition process a well-oiled machine.Adding to our candidate experience to surprise and delight candidates through the process - making them Askable advocates from Day 1.Building our Employer Brand that attracts great talent in Australia, UK and the USAttending events, meetups and conferences to spread the word!The Challenges You'll FaceWell, there's really one main one, and that is we hold the hiring bar super high. The pipeline you'll be building is not the pipeline you'd be building for most companies - we are highly selective and very clear on who will add value to our team. This will likely serve as a challenge as it means you'll need to work out new ways to find the right people and bring them into the pipeline - you'll also need to be able to filter out the wrong people very early in the process.What You'll BringPrevious experience working with tech companies to grow and scale their teamsAbility to work autonomously (initially, you will be a 1-person department)A curiosity and passion for all things talent acquisitionCollaboration is not a word we just talk about, we live and embody it at Askable. You need to be able to work in a team environment, take and give constructive feedback. And then, you need to be able to go and work independently to achieve and exceed assigned goalsInitiative and problem solving. If you're looking to work for a company that has a whole lotta red tap, 100-person admin team and filing cabinets full of guides and procedures, this will not be for you.Lots of words. To sum it all up in less words, if you love building and scaling teams, are collaborative and not afraid to share your thoughts and feedback in an empathetic and constructive manner, then you're more than halfway there. If you embody a "we-before-me" mindset and are always keen to learn, then you're 95% there.Our cultureWhen you join Askable, it's not just another job. You'll have the chance to build something that really matters. Our platform was built by UX researchers, for UX researchers. Our customers' experience comes first, always. Our company culture is very precious and highly valued. It's who we are and how we operate. At Askable, culture is more than having Friday beers, company 'fun days' and other benefits (sure, we do these things too), culture here is about creating a sense of belonging, and helping every person unlock their ultimate impact. In short, culture is vital to our success. So much so, we even wrote a book on our culture. If you'd like to learn more, get in touch and we'll send you a copy.BenefitsWe have loads of incredible employee benefits that we'd love to shout about. But if you're genuinely interested in this role, let's chat about them over coffee insteadFinal thoughtsIf you're reading this and are excited but a little scared because you don't think you have it all, research shows that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria so that's a normal feeling. At Askable, we are committed to building diverse teams so please apply even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with the requirements. Our Head of UK started out in sales, with literally 0 sales experience but had the attitude of learning it, and learning it quickly. So if that sounds like you, you might just be the perfect addition to the team!Please no recruiters or offshore enquiries.#J-18808-Ljbffr
