Dear Unicorn Whisperer,
If you’ve been searching through countless lifeless job listings on Seek…
Almost slipping into a deep coma from the “We’re looking for a highly experience Junior HR Advisor... blah blah blah” job adverts...
And you’re looking for an exciting opportunity to join the fastest-growing digital agency in the country…
Then this will be the most important job listing you ever read.
Here’s why...
Firstly... stop what you're doing and watch this - https://youtu.be/OPdKs9NM380
Okay lets continue...
My name is Sabri Suby and I am looking for a sharp and switched on People & Culture Coodinator to join my team.
But not any old coordinator, no. Especially not the usual that is happy in a dry, boring and quiet area of HR.
So what do I mean by a Unicorn Whisperer in a HR context? I thought you’d never ask…
You need to be an expert at spotting, securing, and nurturing talent.
Because we're not just after any candidates; we're after the cream of the crop.
The unicorns currently grazing at...
Google, Facebook, Netflix And Amazon...
And in order to do this, you must know your people (unicorns) intimately…
You must know what their quirks, their preferences, their habitats.
You must know how to craft the perfect bait to attract them…(Like this ad).
But more importantly, you must know how to keep and nurture them...
Creating an environment where these unicorns can thrive.
You must be the perfect balance of creating….
A Utopian Universe Where The Unicorns Roam Free….
Whether you’re phone screening new talent to join our tribe…
Refining employee onboarding…
Or welcoming that new member of the tribe that YOU hired…
There is nothing you can’t do.
No unicorn you can’t reach.
Now, a little about me…
I run King Kong.
We are a full-service digital marketing agency that is growing FAST!
For the last three years, we’ve been ranked as the fastest-growing digital agency…
And the 17th fastest growing company in the country by The Australian Financial Review…
But it’s not just me.
My business consists of…
85 Of The Wildest, Most Passionate Bunch Of Lunatic Marketers You’ve Ever Worked With...
And this is just one of the reasons we’ve been named as one of the BEST PLACES TO WORK in Australia & New Zealand by AFR and one of the Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia by Anthill Magazine.
We’ve also been named the 9th most innovative media company in Australia by the AFR.
Look, the list goes on and on…because we’ve seriously won more awards than you can shake a stick at…
But enough about us, what about you...
Are you…
- Passionate about the opportunity to blaze your trail in our people and culture function?
- Dedicated to standing out from the crowd and delivering exceptional work?
- Tired of working hard with little fun or reward?
- Ready to take on an amazing role amongst an awesome team where every day is about being the best you can be?
- Deadly serious about having the strongest gif game in the office?
- Frustrated with the lack of training and support you currently receive?
- Ready to take on the challenge and be the best...for one of the fastest-growing companies in the country?
But Before You Get ALL Excited…I’ll Stop You There…
Because this role won't be easy.
We’re a fast-paced agency who demands nothing but the very best.
We have thousands of customers and hundreds of clients in every niche you can think of…
And all around the world…
And this means we’re always hiring.
Always searching for unicorns in the deepest and darkest depths of the most remote jungles...
And retaining them.
It's quite a workload.
And, as such…
I need a super sharp and passionate HR Coordinator at the helm.
Not only someone who knows how to talk to candidates or knows HR policies and procedures, but someone who is 100% committed to finding THE best talent and creating THE best culture on planet earth.
Maybe you’ve been stagnating at a company with no growth prospects...
Or perhaps you're fresh out of college and want to gain experience in both HR & Recruitment...
and want to be surrounded by a team of hungry winners.
Whether you call yourself a HR Specialist, Coordinator or Unicorn Whisperer…
You must share the belief that….
There Is Almost No HR or Recruitment Problem You Can’t Solve With Google, A LinkedIn Recruiter Account And Seek...
No two days in this role will be the same.
However, your responsibilities will include:
- Support the People & Culture Manager in the management of the end-to-end recruitment process including headhunting.
- Develop and update job descriptions and job specifications
- Explore new advertising strategies and platforms
- Monitor and apply HR recruiting best practices
- Act as a point of contact and build influential candidate relationships during the selection process
- Promote the company’s reputation as “best place to work”
- Support the People & Culture Manager in the onboarding of new employees
- Ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in the HRIS system.
- Provide administrative support to the People & Culture department as needed.
- Support the People & Culture Manager with company-wide events & activities.
Look, our ideal candidate will have an ‘I got this’ attitude...they will be solution-focused with a proven track record in finding the best of the best unicorns and keeping them.
You will have to possess the ability to run through walls to get to a solution.
And won’t be the type of person who throws their hands in the air and gives up at the first sight of a challenge.
So...If you’ve been looking for your opportunity to get your foot in the door with a fast-growing company...
Be part of the People & Culture function…
and prove you have what it takes to succeed…
Then this job description has no doubt been like a breath of refreshingly crisp winter air.
Heres's What To Do Next...
Please take the time to write a Cover Letter that tells me about YOU.
Not some wishy-washy cover letter like…
“I’m 29-year-old Virgo from Fitzroy - who enjoys Haiku, turmeric lattes and Ellen Degeneres”...
No.
I want the details.
The juice.
The nitty-gritty.
Specifically why you think you would be the perfect fit for this role.
If you can’t take the time to do this.
Please don’t waste my time or yours by applying.
Best of luck.
Sabri
