What We Look For In a Successful Candidate

Do you consider yourself to be creative? Are you self motivated? Maybe you have great organisational skills? Or practical experience in tech and web software? Any one of these traits is a great reason for you to consider applying for a position at Psychoactive®. Our team all come from a variety of backgrounds.

01

Innovation

Are you an inventor? A pioneer? A doer? At Psychoactive we’re all ‘project-aholics’. We love creating, whether that be at work or at home. You’ll have a track record of beautiful, well-considered, innovative creations. We love curious creatures who ask critical questions and challenge the status quo. Your inventions might include branding, animation, websites, mixed reality, creative coding, creative writing, or even your own business. To us, innovation means taking something that already exists and then improving it.

02

Mastery

We look for talent who keep themselves busy by honing and improving their skills everyday. You should be constantly looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, to upskill through courses, and talk to other industry professionals, pushing yourself with new challenges. We aren’t interested in working with rude reptiles or critters who need to be micromanaged. You’ll dig deep for the answer and use your initiative along with everything in your toolbox to solve problems.

03

Communication

Great English written and verbal communication skills are a must. At Psychoactive, we document every conversation that is relevant to work in our Slack channels. This helps us to manage complex projects and avoid misunderstandings. You need to go above and beyond, exuding confidence with clients and informing the team of your actions at all stages of the production process. Communication is the key to any successful project and relationship.

04

Passion

None of our other core values matter if you don’t bring passion and love to your work. Nobody wants to team up with a dead frog. We look for creatures who want to be at work not because of the paycheck, but because they absolutely love what they do. There are plenty of other jobs that’ll provide an easy paycheck, but not in this pond. Our amphibians live and breathe design and innovation. You’ll show up to work with new ideas, a desire to learn, an openness to collaborate, and a passion for creation!
