We evaluate candidates in alignment with our values and our habits, as well as the key characteristics required to succeed in the role.

Here are some key characteristics and criteria that make an ideal candidate for us:

  1. Adaptability: Remote work environments often require employees to be adaptable, self-motivated, and capable of working independently. An ideal candidate can thrive in a dynamic and ever-changing scale-up setting.
  2. Strong Communication Skills: Since remote teams heavily rely on virtual communication, our ideal candidate should have excellent written and verbal English communication skills. Clear and effective communication is vital for seamless collaboration and understanding among team members, especially in different time zones.
  3. Technical Proficiency: Given that we operate remotely, our ideal candidate should have a solid understanding of relevant technologies and tools used in the industry, such as Asana, Zoom, and Slack.
  4. Problem-Solving Abilities: Publitas often faces unique challenges and requires employees who can think critically and solve problems creatively. An ideal candidate should demonstrate a proactive approach to finding solutions and overcoming obstacles.

  8. Time Management Skills: Working remotely requires effective time management and the ability to meet deadlines. The ideal candidate can prioritize tasks efficiently and deliver work on time.
  9. Cultural Add: Instead of a “culture fit”, we are looking for someone who can embrace our current working culture, but who will point out improvements, and potential pitfalls and who will elevate our existing culture. We aren’t looking for people who are exactly the same. Diversity is power, and the more you can contribute to our culture, the better.
