Hey, curious mind. Could you be a Rookie Mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is helping organizations put people first what drives you? And would you love to be part of The Rookie Minds? Let\u2019s meet! You\u2019re more than welcome at our hub.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you our new colleague<\/span>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking for people-first go-getters<\/strong>. Consultants who get energy from helping organizations turn their dreams into reality. People who understand that strategy can never be separated from people, team dynamics and real conversations. People who don\u2019t shy away from complexity, but get curious about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With us, you work with both head and heart. Like us, you believe that people are the key to success. And that simply by being yourself, you can inspire others, hold up a mirror and challenge them. You dare to step off the beaten path, ask the questions others swallow, and you\u2019re just headstrong enough to give advice, even when no one asked for it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking for people who love freedom and responsibility<\/strong>. People who can take care of themselves, take ownership, and still want to be part of a collective.  Independent in how they work, always connected in how they show up.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t expect a standard application process with us. We like to do things a little differently<\/span>.\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Then there\u2019s our \u2018application process\u2019, although we prefer not to call it that. It takes as long as it takes. Because we want to really get to know each other. We\u2019re curious about you, and we\u2019d love to explore together whether we\u2019re a match.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

We\u2019re not interested in your CV, you probably guessed that. We are interested in your real story. In what makes your heart beat a little faster. \nAnd we especially love people who aren\u2019t looking for a \u2018regular\u2019 job, because you won\u2019t find one here!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Road to Rookie<\/h2>\n No standard process flow here. Actually: something much more fun and much more personal!<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Getting to know each other<\/h3>\n

We\u2019d love to get to know you personally. And we\u2019ll tell you everything you want to know about The Rookie Minds. Feel a spark? Then we\u2019ll explore further.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Cliftonstrengths assessment<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re head over heels for StrengthsFinder and we\u2019d love to take you into the world of talent. Not to assess you, but to discover together where your unique strengths lie. What you\u2019re naturally good at, what gives you energy, and how that fits with our work and the way we organize ourselves.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

Further exploration<\/h3>\n

In as many conversations as we need, we explore whether there\u2019s a match. Do you feel at home in our holacratic organization? Is there a match in vision, way of working and approach?<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

Drinks<\/h3>\n

Yes, you read that right. Joining one of our Friday afternoon drinks is a mandatory part of our recruitment process. It\u2019s how we get to know each other better in a more informal setting too.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n 5 <\/div>\n
\n

Plan of action<\/h3>\n

Do we both give each other a wholehearted \u201cyes\u201d on all fronts? Then we go for it. Together, we\u2019ll decide on a start date, your first assignment, salary and all the other practical details.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

Working at The Rookie Minds is not your average job<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Working at The Rookie Minds doesn\u2019t require a perfect CV. It does ask for something else: ownership, curiosity and being comfortable with uncertainty.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re organized holocratically. This means we share responsibility for how our internal organization works. Everything The Rookie Minds needs to run well, from finance to marketing, and from content development to onboarding, we organize together. A core group of colleagues guards our purpose and way of thinking, making sure we stay true to what The Rookie Minds stands for in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you, this means one thing: you don\u2019t just work for<\/em> an organization, you\u2019re part of it. You have influence, a voice and responsibility. You think along, roll up your sleeves and contribute to the collective. You take on internal roles and, in doing so, share responsibility for our organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you want to know about The Rookie Minds<\/h2>\n

Okay, \u201ceverything\u201d might be a bit much.\u00a0For that, we really do need to meet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But we can lift a small corner of the veil. Just enough for you to decide whether you\u2019d like to get in touch or whether you\u2019re thinking: \u201clovely, but not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \n What do you mean by a Rookie Mindset? (And how do I know if I have one?) <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n A Rookie Mindset means staying curious. It means daring to admit that you don’t always know, asking questions before offering solutions, and being open to perspectives that aren’t your own. We believe that true innovation arises when you keep looking like a Rookie. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n \n Do you have managers or partners? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n No. No bosses, no status differences, no titles. We work as equal colleagues, with different roles and responsibilities that evolve with what is needed. Influence doesn\u2019t come from position, but from involvement and trust. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n \n What does ‘bring your own everything’ mean? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n We like to keep things lean and mean. No office of our own, no staff, no complicated systems. You arrange your own laptop, phone and how you get around. That asks for independence, but it also gives you a lot of freedom. We\u2019d rather invest in fun team events, exciting projects and development than in overhead.\r\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n \n Where do you work? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n The short answer? Everywhere. You\u2019ll often find us at our hub at the Social Impact Factory Vredenburg, where we rent flexible workspaces and gather every Friday. During the week, you\u2019ll find us working at our clients\u2019 offices or from home. And every now and then, we take ourselves somewhere else entirely. We call it \u201cRookies on the Road\u201d. Sometimes we work from one of our homes, sometimes at the beach, and sometimes from a little cabin in the middle of nowhere.\r\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n \n Do you work independently or together with clients? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n Both! You work independently with clients: you maintain your network, bring in assignments, guide client projects and organize your own work. Sometimes you\u2019re the only Rookie on an assignment. Sometimes we team up or work together as a group. We spar a lot, share our doubts and successes, and help each other move forward. With us, independent never means going solo. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n \n What does it mean that you work holacratically? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n We\u2019re collectively responsible for The Rookie Minds. For our work, our clients, our marketing, our finances and our culture. Everyone takes on internal roles and contributes to our internal organization in their own way. And when you see something that could be better? Then it\u2019s also your responsibility to bring it up, or take it on.\r\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
