How is the salary formed?

The salary of everyone in the company consists of a rate and a bonus part.

The rate is 20,000 hryvnias, the monthly bonus is 5,000 hryvnias.

Bonuses depend on the following KPIs:

• quality of work (50% bonus) is one of our main values. Your actions and inaction should not create "problems" for customers, partners and your colleagues. Each such "problem" is recorded, and the bonus is calculated according to the formula bonus amount / number of "problems". One "problem" during the month does not mathematically affect the bonus, more does;
• work efficiency (50% bonus). All tasks that you will do have a target time for completion. We add up the target completion time for all the tasks you completed during the month and divide by the number of working hours. All employees easily reach the target efficiency during the first 2 months of work.

About the probationary period

In this position, it is 3 months. The salary does not differ during the trial period and after.

About our hiring process

I personally review all reviews and conduct phone and offline interviews. I make decisions quickly and provide feedback (both continuation of communication and termination) immediately or the next day.

Only a few days can pass between responding to a vacancy and receiving a job offer.

About the team

Our team consists of 2 copywriters and I am the manager. You can easily ask a question to your manager, colleagues from your department or other departments. If you need help, you write a letter to a colleague - and it is the colleague's task to respond and help. None of the colleagues, not even the TOPs, can ignore your letter.

The cover letter and the financial expectations indicated in it are MANDATORY elements of the feedback. So I understand in particular that you have read the vacancy. Having a portfolio and actively working on it will be an advantage for you.
