For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate.
At Bending Spoons, recruiting isn’t a support function. Our long-term success depends on talent density, which is why we’re investing in building one of the most advanced, research-driven, and technology-enabled Talent teams in the world.
We are a team of engineers, AI researchers, data scientists, product designers, and hiring managers solving one of the hardest problems in business: how to consistently identify, select, and develop extraordinary professionals.
Responsibilities
* Take full ownership of the recruiting process from start to finish, making key decisions at each stage to ensure the selection of the best candidates.

* Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
* Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You’re always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
* Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
What we offer
* An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire individuals of outstanding potential and strive to place them in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with opportunities to contribute to major projects.
* Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
* All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, learning and training support, comprehensive health insurance, relocation assistance, parental support, and an annual retreat.
