The mission

Due to the phenomenal growth curve we have experienced the past few years, CobbleWeb now needs to expand its team four-fold over the next twelve months. The goal is to create additional agile development squads that can deliver superior outcomes within budget and agreed-upon timelines.

In addition, we would like to refine and streamline various components of the employee experience, such as onboarding, support, administration and career development. This will require the productive application of technology and the smart design and/or upgrade of various HR systems.

Our champion

We’re primarily looking for a recruitment specialist with a proven track record in sourcing, evaluating and matching exceptional candidates for roles within the software development or IT industries. Typical roles include full-stack, as well as, front- and backend software developers, digital project managers, business analysts, quality assessors, and UI/UX designers.

But that is not all, our ideal candidate will also have some experience in other HR areas, such as employee onboarding, performance reviews and employee administration. After all, as a fast-growing young company we all wear many hats.

Your strong leadership qualities will stand you in good stead as you work with the management team to determine how we can build and nurture an agile, diverse company. You are comfortable aligning HR KPIs with overall business goals and used to employing technology to expedite key HR aspects in line with Agile principles.
