Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:
Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.
Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence.
Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.
Attention to detail: You’ll be managing multiple, complex workstreams from numerous stakeholders. It will be important for you to keep track of everything and notice when information is missing or inconsistent.
Excellent listener and clear communicator: We have a variety of nationalities and for many people, English isn’t their first language. For you to excel, you’ll need to be present in your calls and make sure you properly receive and thoughtfully send messages to others in the business.
The interview process
The successful candidate will participate in the following interview stages. We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish.
One-way Video Interview
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a one-way video interview. This allows us to better understand your skills, experience and interest in Compliance early in the process.
Technical Round
A 90-minute interview with a member of the Hiring Team. This will include a live assessment of your analytical thinking, judgement and ability to work through Compliance-related scenarios.
Behavioural / Soft Skills Round
A 60-minute interview with a member of the Hiring Team, focusing on your recent work situations and how you demonstrate ownership, humility, structured thinking, attention to detail, communication and judgement.
Reference Verification
Prior to final offer confirmation, we will conduct one professional reference check with your recent direct manager or supervisor. To keep the process moving smoothly, this step may be initiated during the final interview stages.
Requirement for background screening
Please be aware that Sleek is a regulated entity and as such is required to perform different levels of background checks on staff depending on their role.
This may include using external vendors to verify:

• Your education

• Any criminal history

• Any political exposure

Benefits
Some other great things about working at Sleek…
