Last month, we had the opportunity to meet many startups and professionals at the 5th edition of the JobFluent Barcelona Startup Job Fair. It was a blast. We exchange thoughts, CVs and business cards.
I was able to catch up with Naveen Sharma, who is responsible for marketing and business development at Lodgify. Curious about what they do? Read more below.
What is Lodgify?
Naveen: Lodgify is a solution that allows accommodation owners to quickly create their own beautiful accommodation website; it includes an easy to use reservation system and a channel manager that allows owners to synchronise with their external listings on sites like Booking.com or Airbnb.
Describe your team.
Naveen: We are a very fun, outgoing and international team: The team includes seven nationalities with various backgrounds and we are based in beautiful Barcelona
Currently we are 7 team members. Our business is rapidly growing, and we are looking to hire. And that’s reason why we are here at Jobfluent.
Is your team distributed?
Naveen: We prefer having in-house employees. It has its benefits in terms of communication and also team culture. Thus, we are looking for developers and web designers who would be based in Barcelona.
Any secret that you can tell jobseekers about the profile of an ideal candidate?
Naveen: We are looking for rockstars and match-winners. We are looking for people who are not afraid to make mistakes as long as they are willing to learn from them. We are a growing and ambitious startup, and this is quite an exciting market at the moment. If you are willing to take on responsibility, and ready to make a difference, then don’t waste time and write us an email.
What makes Lodgify stand out?
Naveen: Our technology is outstanding and there probably is no competitor at the moment that reaches that standard. We are Seedcamp London winners 2014 – Seedcamp is an incubator program in London– and currently in fundraising mode. Times are exciting and perfect to gain some startup experience.
