WHY WORK AT HONESTBEE?
It all started in Singapore, in July 2015 and this hyper-growth startup has since expanded into 8 markets across Asia: Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan. Currently, they are also expanding into various cities in those countries, including Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, Pattaya, Cebu, Yokohama, Niseko. At honestbee, every day is fast-paced, and not a single day is the same. According to Dianne, the Talent Acquisition Manager (APAC) at honestbee, “honestbee employees don’t come in expecting that what's outlined in their JD is exactly what they will be doing. From the moment they accept the job offer, the business would have moved on. 3 months at honestbee are like a year in another company. We move fast, we really do.” What this fast-paced startup culture means for honestbee employees? You've got to have a continuous bias for action to move forward. People who do well at honestbee are those who stumble. They fail and make mistakes, but they don't give up and think: “This is not for me.” Instead, the general mindset is “Okay, what did I learn? Let’s bounce back.” And they continue to work for what they believe in. Beyond the skill sets required for the job, honestbee looks out for candidates who have grit and are happy to remain hands-on, regardless of their seniority. The startup prides itself for being a tight knit team and no matter what title is held, each person plays an equal part in ensuring honestbee's continuous success. A great example that illustrates this? One time, every honestbee employee, regardless of title or seniority, was required to head out to the streets to hand out flyers and goodie bags for the launch of their food delivery vertical. Employees who are willing to take full ownership of the business, and who don't have “It’s not my job!” in their vocabulary, are seen to propel their careers to new heights at honestbee.
