PERSONAL QUALITIES FOR A GOOD FIT

As well as your development skills there are certain qualities that will make you the perfect fit for life here at Libertas. Qualities such as:

Commitment — We are looking for a long-term commitment. Someone we can rely on to take a project from initial plans to launch and beyond. If you’re looking for a role where you can grow, learn and work on projects that really make an impact, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for.

Dedication, Drive, and Trustworthiness — As a busy team on the forefront of innovation, we’re looking for self-starters. We like those who enjoy using their initiative to solve problems, come up with ideas, help streamline processes and generally just get stuff done. We don’t micromanage, so we’re looking for someone that’s motivated to take charge of their own workload and deliver on their objectives.

Proactive not Reactive — Following on from the need to have someone who uses their own initiative, we are looking for someone who is decidedly Proactive. Someone who endeavours to solve a problem before it has occurred, someone who acts in advance of a future situation, who takes control and makes early changes rather than wait for something to happen.

Team-Oriented — At Libertas we’re one big family, so bringing in someone new means making sure that they’re a good fit for our team. We’re looking for someone that’s team-oriented and works well with others. This also means getting involved with all projects and taking on any task that might come your way.
