At LIBERNETIX, we've decided to build a core team of just 35 people by the end of this year. This might sound unusual, but it's all about creating a group of highly motivated and skilled individuals who truly believe in our vision. Here's why we made this choice and how we plan to make it work.
Why Only 35 People?
We want a team where every person is an expert and deeply committed to our goals. Think of it like a football team or a Formula 1 team — every member is crucial. When you have too many people, things can get bogged down in bureaucracy, and individual talents can get lost. With a smaller team, everyone has a chance to shine and contribute fully.
What is a "Hell Yes" Person?
At LIBERNETIX, a "hell yes" person is someone who is open, ambitious, responsible, and ready to try new things. These are mature professionals who make conscious decisions and share our values.
Our Hiring Process
We look for candidates who are confident in their skills, understand their potential, and resonate with our values. We are a people-oriented company, open and transparent, and we seek individuals who are motivated by a deeper purpose than just financial gain. We seek people who are excited to share their knowledge, create new things with us, and are committed to continuous learning and skill improvement.
Challenges in Finding the Right People
One challenge we face is finding candidates who prioritise the team's success over their own. Many applicants focus too much on personal achievements and don't consider how they can contribute to the team. Additionally, most candidates see only one path to growth—becoming a manager. However, at LIBERNETIX, we aim to build a flat structure where every successful expert can act as a mentor and actively participate in optimising processes. This approach allows for a unique and rewarding way of self-realisation through pioneering new financial solutions and embracing bold, "out-of-this-world" challenges. We also need people who are clear about why they want to join us and are confident in their life choices.
Handling Workload and Pressure
The LIBERNETIX team is ready to face constant challenges and seek solutions where there are no easy answers or "right" paths. They're always tackling new obstacles, willing to overcome themselves, change their approach, break stereotypes, and remain flexible and adaptable. However, this also comes with the risk of fatigue and burnout. We regularly check in with our team to prevent burnout and offer support when needed, including access to personal trainers, yoga sessions, and unlimited vacation days.
Impact on Company Culture
Our hiring strategy is based on our core values. We want everyone to be happy with their work and feel that their role is important. This shared vision helps us stay focused and work well together.
Keeping the Team Motivated
We maintain a strong corporate culture by holding internal events and training sessions and showing appreciation for our team members. We recognise their strengths and support their growth.
Supporting Professional Development
Every team member has access to funding for education and opportunities to attend conferences. We also encourage sharing success and failure stories and provide a comprehensive knowledge library.
Personal Insights
Seeing new employees feel cared for and in the right place is incredibly satisfying. Building trust and open communication with the team is a key part of my job. It’s not just about work; it’s about sharing personal stories and building strong relationships.
Executing this strategy means I need to listen, empathise, and continuously improve my skills. Keeping myself well-balanced is also important, and activities like sports help me stay focused and positive.
The 35 Spartans
LIBERNETIX’s strategy is about building a close-knit, high-performing team. We believe that with strong communication and mutual support, our small team can achieve great things. This approach might be different, but we are confident it will lead to a dynamic and successful future for LIBERNETIX.
