Career development

To ensure that everyone can grow professionally during their time at Welcome to the Jungle, several mobility options are available. Today, there are different ways of advancing your career: internal mobility towards another business unit, a skill upgrade towards a position as operational expert or moving up to a managerial role. We are aware that our company as well as the skills required are changing very fast. Time is key for developing our teams and taking on new positions. This is why we have set up discussions on personal and professional development every half-year: to be close to our employees in order to react quickly and help speed up their career advancement.

Testimonial from Diva, Head of Business Operations

When I joined the company as a Business Operations trainee in 2018, Welcome to the Jungle offered to transform my traineeship into a full-time, permanent position, while also supporting me in getting my Master’s degree. After working alone for a year, I was able to help create the Business Operations hub and hire four people to join the team. Since then, after two years as Business Operations Manager, I’ve been Head of Business Operations since 2021.

„My professional development at Welcome to the Jungle has gone hand in hand with the growth of the company, and the HR team have supported me throughout this transition.“

Diva, Head of Business Operations

Training

We firmly believe that successful onboarding is an essential step to creating the foundations for a positive and sustainable experience. We have created a four-week onboarding process that is entirely compatible with remote work to help all of our new employees feel like a part of the company. We use all available teaching methods in order to be as inclusive as possible: meet-ups, presentations, classes, Q&A sessions and immersion. They are all organised to help everyone better understand our work environment and learn more about their new co-workers! We pay special attention to interpersonal relations: each new hire is assigned a buddy who will guide them through all the informal aspects in order to help them learn about their new company.

Hiring process

We have implemented a hiring process that reflects our ambitions and is focussed on the candidates’ experience. It strives to be efficient, caring as well challenging and stimulating: we want to learn more about our candidates, but also each of them should get something out of the interviews they have with us. We actively train our teams in the hiring process, with the idea that everyone can contribute to making it a success, not just HR. Listening and being responsive to our candidates is essential to help them see how they could build a career with us.
