Legal Counsel

Company Description

Ajobthing is a successful start-up that aims to deliver products that solve recruitment problems using cutting edge software, the world wide web, mobile and innovative marketing.

We are result-oriented and welcome fail-fast mentality, ever willing to try out fresh ideas. When others may ask "Why?", we choose to ask "Why not?". We encourage a spirit of collaboration, celebrate the success of colleagues and practice picking each other up when we inevitably fall. We frown upon office politics, self-centeredness and discrimination. Bureaucracy slows down many companies, so here we built one that practices simple, lean and efficient processes.

Last but not least, we define success based on the value we create for our users.
