Topic: HR Consulting for Startups

Let’s be honest – hiring processes are tough. Not only for candidates but for companies and their recruiting teams as well. We all become pickier and pickier and demanding when it comes to choosing our potential workplaces. On the one hand, we say “thank you Google & Co.” for slowly freeing our work culture from a dusty image of cubicles or grey suits and rather turning it into a colorful playground with countless benefits. On the other hand, this implies a good deal more effort for the employer side, with employer branding significantly growing in importance.

Speedinvest Heroes offers a variety of HR outsourcing services supporting startups around the world in their recruiting process – from defining a hiring plan to pre-screening applicants or conducting deep interviews.

As experienced consultants, we slip into the role of our candidates and ask us questions like “How can we grab job seekers’ attention?”, “What could motivate them to work for a certain startup?” or “Do they have the necessary skill-set needed for startup life?”.

We adopt the human-centered approach and truly focus on the people behind the CVs.

In order to detect the right employees, it is of utmost importance to clearly define your job positions and the related responsibilities as well as requirements. Since nowadays every occupation goes under at least 3 different titles – it can be quite confusing and difficult to write accurate job postings. Far too often, it happens that the main areas of responsibility are not communicated explicitly enough, only leading to disappointment on all sides.

This is why we summarized 33 job description templates created by Recruitee for the most in-demand positions in startups, which you can freely use as an inspiration for your next job ads.

Note: These templates are meant to give a direction in terms of content only. If you want your business to stand out, be creative, match design and wording to your corporate ID and spice it up with some sense of humor!
