Bending Spoons is a fast-growing tech company focused on building and marketing mobile applications. Despite being such a young company, we've already achieved notable results, with tens of millions of downloads of our apps, and millions of users active every month. Far from being satisfied, we look with excitement at the future, and believe that through smart and hard work we’ll accomplish much more.

Position

Bending Spoons is looking for a Recruiter, Intern. A six or twelve-month contract, either full-time or part-time (you choose). We may offer a permanent position by the end of the period, depending on performance and availability.

We know our success starts with our people. That’s why attracting top talent is our company’s top priority. We cherry-pick each Spooner from thousands of applicants, never compromising on our exceptionally high standards. Having extremely ambitious goals for this year, we’re looking for an eclectic recruiter who brings a balance of creativity and determination to our team.

Responsibilities:

• Screen applications
• Scout passive candidates and reach out to the best ones
• Analyze past initiatives and results to identify new, high-yield channels and initiatives for our recruiting campaigns 
• Interview candidates and support them throughout the recruiting process, ensuring they have the best experience possible—no matter the outcome
• Organize recruiting events

Your qualification

• Go-getter, resilient attitude. Once you have a goal, there’s no stopping you! You charge forward to make it happen at all costs. Failure doesn’t discourage you—after every stumble, you get right back up and try again, undeterred 
• Hard-working, diligent attitude. You give everything you’ve got to get done what needs to get done
• Precision. As a recruiter, you’re going to take care of complex tasks and manage a large database of applicants. Extreme attention to detail is everything
• Passion for the field. For you to contribute significantly to our mission, you need to be passionate about your job. It’s OK if you don’t know much about recruiting, but you find the idea of unearthing and bringing onboard hidden talent extremely exciting—and you’ll take that enthusiasm to every aspect of the job
• Ability to connect with others. You’ll have to passionately communicate our vision in an amicable way if you’re going to win over candidates. As such, you need to be able to connect with them. It’s no problem if you’re not an extrovert by nature—plenty of us aren’t—but you’ll need the ability to act like one when needed 
• Communication. You’ll be responsible for the correspondence with candidates, and for developing copy for our career page and job listings. For this reason, your proficiency in either English and Italian is high-level, both orally and in writing
• Humility. You’re eager to help and not at all picky about what tasks you’re asked to take on. You’re open to feedback and truly value others’ opinions
• Some IT and spreadsheet skills. You’re savvy enough to smoothly use Google Docs, Google Sheets, and/or Microsoft Excel

What we offer

• Stellar career opportunity. We’re a young yet internationally recognized tech company—and we’ll never be satisfied with merely treading water. You’ll be able to say: “I’ve taken Bending Spoons from employee 150 to employee 500
• Huge impact. Bending Spoons is only as great as our team. By finding the right people, you’ll have a direct impact on the company’s success 
• Variety. You’ll recruit for many different roles—business, technical, and everywhere in-between. That means you’ll be continually adjusting your strategy and communication to fit the task
• 360° approach to recruiting. You’ll guide candidates from scouting to onboarding, always seeking to improve every step of the recruiting process
• International reach. Our audience is wildly international, and our team should be the same. Although we’re based in Italy, our company language is English
• No micromanaging. Be the owner of your effort, and take responsibility for your tasks. You’ll be given all the incentives to make a real impact 
• Relocation package. To ease your move to Milan, the first three months of rent are on us. Visa support is provided for those who need it
• Continuous education. We pay for your Italian/English language lessons, but that’s not where it ends. If you make a good case for some extra learning, we’re delighted to foot the tab
• Cool HQ. Natural light, silent rooms, state-of-the-art hardware, fun-filled common spaces... You’ll certainly be in the right environment to do your best work. And, when it’s time to switch off, you can do that in style and comfort
• People who lift each other up. We hire for talent and leave divas at the door. You'll find a group of super-skilled Spooners who are eager to learn and teach their secrets. Reciprocal support and respect is everything—you’re unlikely to ever encounter a more harmonious crew
• Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are on us when you work from the office
• Healthcare coverage, free weekly yoga classes, and a welfare plan for your well-being
• The latest Mac, iPhone, and wireless noise-canceling headphones, as well as any software you might need to perform at your best
• Our total compensation is top of the market—plus, it can grow rapidly and include stock options, depending on your performance
