Actively Interviewing

This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!

Job description

We're building a platform to catch burnout before it happens. Need someone with HR connections who can talk to people and open doors.

The Problem

People are burning out at work. By the time managers notice, it's too late. We're building something to change that.

What We're Building

A platform that spots early warning signs of burnout and helps managers intervene before people break. Think predictive tech + psychology + practical support.

What We Actually Need You To Do

We need someone who can:

  • Talk to HR people and managers about their burnout challenges (15-20 interviews over 2-3 weeks)
  • Find organizations that might want to test this with their teams
  • Help us understand what would actually work vs. what sounds good on paper

That's it. No corporate nonsense. Just real conversations with real people about a real problem.

Your Actual Tasks

Weeks 1-2: Find people to interview

  • Use your network to find 15-20 HR folks, managers, and employees
  • Schedule 30-60 min chats (we'll give you the questions)
  • Could be over coffee, Zoom, phone - whatever works

Weeks 3-4: Do the interviews

  • Have real conversations about burnout
  • Document what matters (not what sounds nice)
  • Work with our psychologists to make sense of it

Weeks 5-6: Connect us with organizations

  • Find 5-10 companies that might test this
  • Make intros to the right people
  • Help us understand who'd actually pay for this

Time commitment: 2-3 hours a day. Work when you want. No meetings about meetings.

Why Bother?

Honestly:

  • You'll help build something launching in 8 weeks (not years)
  • You get to shape the product from scratch
  • You'll work with psychologists and tech people who actually know what they're doing
  • Good for your CV if you want to move into product/research/biz dev
  • If you're brilliant, we might offer equity or a paid role later
  • Work from home, flexible hours, no micromanaging

Also: burnout is real. If you've seen it or felt it, you know why this matters.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who:

  • Knows HR people or managers (and they'd actually take your call)
  • Can have a proper conversation without reading a script
  • Gets why burnout matters (maybe you've been there)
  • Doesn't need babysitting - you see what needs doing and do it
  • Can move fast - we're launching in 8 weeks

Experience we care about:

  • You've worked in HR, management, or people stuff (3+ years)
  • You've done interviews or research before (or you're confident you can)
  • You have connections we don't (that's the whole point)

Don't have all of this? Apply anyway if you care about the problem and can help.

What You Actually Get

  • Real product experience (not busy work)
  • Portfolio piece you can show people
  • References from our team
  • Connections with psychologists and tech people
  • Maybe equity if you're exceptional
  • The satisfaction of helping prevent burnout (sounds cheesy but it's true)

The Team

  • Chief Behavioral Psychologist
  • Occupational Psychologist
  • AI/ML person
  • CTO
  • UX Designer

Small team. No corporate BS. Building something that matters.

Timeline

Start: Now (November) Busiest: First 2 weeks (3 hrs/day finding and scheduling people) After that: 2 hrs/day for 4-6 weeks End: Mid-December

Work whenever suits you. We care about results, not when you're online.

Success = 

  • 15-20 good interviews done
  • 5-10 companies interested in testing this
  • Insights that help us build the right thing
  • Not wasting each other's time

Why Not Paid?

We're pre-revenue. Every penny goes into building this. But if you're good, equity or paid work could come later. And the experience is worth more than a few hundred quid anyway.

What We Promise

We won't:

  • Have pointless meetings
  • Micromanage you
  • Waste your time
  • Give you vague objectives

We will:

  • Be clear about what needs doing
  • Support you when needed, leave you alone when not
  • Give you proper credit
  • Write you good references

Why This Matters

Burnout is expensive (£322 billion to the economy) and miserable (for the people going through it). Most companies wait until people break, then offer an EAP number.

We're trying to catch it earlier. Your conversations will tell us if this is actually useful or just another wellness gimmick.

To Apply

Just tell us:

  1. Why you care about this (2-3 sentences)
  2. Who you could realistically interview (be specific)
  3. Any organizations you could connect us with
  4. Can you start now and commit 2-3 hrs/day for 6-8 weeks?

Attach your CV.

Don't overthink it. If this sounds interesting, apply.

Questions? Email us - we respond fast.

P.S. If you're not sure you're "qualified enough" - apply anyway. We need diverse perspectives, not clones.
