Funded.club is a fully decentralized team of 50+ consultants and recruiters from diverse backgrounds around the world. We encourage our team members to plan their own work schedules around family time and their life passions - not the other way around - and to seek meaning in all that they do.
Sustainability Goal:
In a fast-changing world of compounding crises, Funded.club is actively working towards to supporting a customer base comprising at least 50% social businesses, sustainability solutions and good causes in 2021. We aim to bring the best possible talent to these organizations to help them grow efficiently and increase their positive impact on our collective future.
Team Culture:
We are gradually evolving into self-organizing teams in 2021 with a modern, "Teal" work culture as described in "Reinventing Organizations" by Frederic Laloux. Good ideas emerge and grow from any part of the team. Decisions are made following an efficient and respectful "Advice process".
Equal rewards, globally:
Our fixed-fee, global pricing standards also allow us to pay our team the exact same rewards no matter where they live in the world today. If our team and culture sounds exciting to you... join us!
