- Initial 30 minute call with recruiting associate
- Next stage required an assignment
- Call with London GM
- Final stage call with COO in Tel Aviv
Jolt emphasise that they're a start up company, and it shows. They lack in consistent communication/expectation across offices which made the overall process unpleasant and confusing. The requirements from the office in Tel Aviv is that they need someone with predominately extensive operational skills, which for the remuneration offered in a Central London based role is severely low. Then there's the GM in the London office who needs an EA - someone to support them with the usual duties (diary, meetings, coordinating the team, assisting with office moves etc) which falls in line with the role advertised. It's apparent now that the expectations were basically someone to do a full-time role, but paid a part-time salary and expected to go above and beyond until they 'decided' to make it full-time. I was told in my feedback that I wanted 'too much of a work life balance, which just wasn't in line with their start up mentality.'
My advice to you would be, reconvene and decide exactly what's needed from this role because you are not aligned. Change the job title so it actually reflects the role & be realistic for the type of candidates/experience you can get for the ££ you're offering.
