Content Writer at Alva Labs

Let’s take a look at Alva Labs and our mission from a writer’s perspective.

Setting: the recruitment processes all over the world

Characters: all candidates trying to show how they are relevant for a job, and all recruiters trying to find out who to hire

Conflict: almost half of all new hires fail (don’t meet expectations or quit), at the same time as companies are missing out on great talent (candidates are systematically being discriminated against based on age, gender, nationality, ethnicity, just to name a few)

Resolution: Alva to the rescue! With objective recruitment, Alva enables accurate and fair assessment of candidates. The right candidates get the job, without discrimination!

The company
Alva Labs offers a SaaS solution to help global companies grow their teams in a scientific way. Alva has created a unique candidate assessment platform that helps companies build their organisations with the right people in the right place, completely free from bias and subjectivity. By combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, it provides the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3X per year and are in the exciting phase of launching Alva in new markets.

The role
Your job will be to, in close collaboration with the rest of the marketing team and some of our internal thought leaders (such as ➡️ Kajsa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kajsaasplund/)⬅️, ➡️ Morgan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganpihl/)⬅️, ➡️ Hira (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hira-wasif/)⬅️, ➡️ Linnea (https://www.linkedin.com/in/linneabywall/)⬅️, and ➡️ Malcolm (https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmburenstamlinder/)⬅️), be the content machine at Alva. By combining internal and external talk and research, you will ensure there is always relevant content to publish across our different channels.

You will create blog posts, e-books, newsletters, one-pagers, and whitepapers to enable lead generation and an engaged audience. You will prioritize what should be of focus and through that, build out the content calendar.

You
Given what we do, we aren’t too concerned about your background. The foundation for a successful hire and match lies within your persona, rather than your CV. Perhaps you have a background in journalism, freelancing, or in-house content creation. Some sort of track record in professional content work will likely set you up for early success. But more importantly, we believe you are a task-oriented self-starter. A team player that takes ownership and has some project management skills. And obviously a skilled writer.

All content will be in English, so a native level will be needed. No need to speak Swedish, though!

Your future colleagues
We are a team of 50+ people, representing 16 different nationalities and a wide selection of professional backgrounds. And all of that is absolutely fantastic, but the true beauty is the trust and warmth you will experience. You will be supported and have so many brilliant minds to learn from and ask for guidance. To quote our CEO during our last company trip, “It feels like hanging out with a bunch of old friends”.

And the marketing team? Well, it is expanding FAST right now. Our Head of Marketing and Content Lead are, together with freelancers, holding the fort. But with an art director, a digital marketer, a social media marketer, and a partnerships person on their way in, this is just the right time to join!

If you want to creep out on this (perhaps your future) team (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/People-9b32574c8b3747759680da1dbda59b35), fire away!

Why join Alva?
The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to work with something that truly makes a difference.

With 250+ customers, strong growth, happy users, and 160,000+ assessed candidates, there is a lot of greatness to build on. We are now entering an exciting phase of our company journey, where we are doubling down on new markets and an international expansion. The company and the team have grown a lot in the last couple of months (150% more customers, and 250% more employees during 2021, so far…). And we are just getting started! There will be so many more opportunities to come.

What’s more - we have flexible work hours, where you can decide for yourself what works best for you. You will get seven weeks of vacation, an on-market salary, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks. You can read all about our benefits here (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Benefits-1abeeb8de8004f6ab915f2fced70f057) and our company values here (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Alva-Values-630a69c6c72642f2b1caab5dab55b953).
