Our Home Page suggested that you:

 

Don’t waste time

looking for role-models.

(Instead why not)

Become One.

 

 

Should the above be appealing, you may be the kind of individual we’re looking for. Equally importantly, we may be the opportunity you’re looking for. Let us explain, but before we do, may we say that:

​

We only promote from within.

​

Our commitment to this principle has considerable  implications for a graduate or post-graduate like yourself. When we add into the mix our start-up status, the implications can become mouth-watering!  

​

As a new employee, once you’ve completed your onboarding programme, you’ll start work either on Data Preparation & Analysis or A.I./Machine Learning.

 

Within your first 12-24 months you will also gain experience in Market Research and New Products. After that how you chose to develop your career with us next is open to discussion.

 

You’re perfectly free to stay put and strengthen your expertise and experience through specialisation. Alternatively, you could help us launch a new division or many things in-between, including in areas we haven’t even thought of yet!

 

Having spent the last few years working hard (in-between the fun) to attain your degree you're now looking for a career. And if it is a career, rather than a job you’re after, then we believe we may offer a solution. However, before we talk ‘solutions’ let’s talk about needs. Your needs and ours.

 

The chances are that as you look around at potential employers, what you’re actually looking for is a combination of some, or all, of the following:

​

• Great Leaders

  • You hope to have leaders who are: Inspirational, supportive, empowering; focused on development.​

  • And ideally are: Accessible, approachable and actually available.

• Great Company

  • You hope the company is: Reputable, has values, good business results and contributes to society. ​

  • And ideally offers: a more relaxed and informal work environment.

• Great Job

  • You hope to have: Interesting opportunities for growth and advancement, with impact and meaning.​

  • And, if possible, to engage in: Deeper technical development and opportunities for special projects.

• Great Rewards

  • You want: A good salary, benefits and perks along with non-financial forms of recognition.​

  • And in the ideal: Freedom from administrative tasks.

​

At FRANKELPLUS we believe we can deliver on 7 out of the 8 above points from day one. 

 

As a new start-up we hope you’ll appreciate that we need some time to show proof of delivering on ‘Reputation’. However, our ‘business results’ to date are, put simply, very encouraging. That’s why, as a start-up, we can offer remuneration packages that rival (and possibly even exceed) that of the larger and more established organisations you may be considering. We hope this website will have given you some insight into our values and cultural leanings.

 

Returning to our ‘Reputation’ for a moment, please don’t lose sight of the fact that as an aspiring Role Model within FRANKELPLUS you’ll be instrumental in developing it!

 

One point we should highlight is that as a new start-up you’ll find precious little information about us online – or anywhere else for that matter! This is why we encourage you to email us if you have questions that we’ve not addressed on this website. Just ask away and we’ll do our best to answer your questions clearly and concisely.

 

And our needs? Perhaps the best way to answer this question is to tell you a story (a story we heard from Warren Buffett no less).

​

We look for three things when we hire people.

​

• Integrity

• Intelligence

• Initiative (getting things done).

 

Play a game with us for just a minute…

​

Imagine for a moment that you could pick any one of your classmates, people that you know pretty well after being at university with them. You have 24 hours to think it over and you can pick any one of your classmates. And the pay-off, for you, is that you get to keep 10 percent of the earnings of the person you choose for the rest of their lives.

​

What determines which classmate you would pick? You can’t pick the one with the richest parents, that doesn’t count. You’ve got to do this on merit. We would suggest that, interestingly, you probably wouldn’t pick the person that gets the highest grades in the class.

​

There’s nothing wrong with getting the highest grades, but that isn’t going to be the quality that sets apart a big winner from the rest of the pack. Think about who you would pick and why. When you get through thinking about this challenge, you’ll pick some individual; they’ve all got ability, they wouldn’t be there otherwise; they’ve all got the energy. The initiative is there, the intelligence is there throughout your classmates. But some of them are going to be bigger winners than others.

​

We believe it gets down to a bunch of qualities that are self-made. For example: It’s not how tall you are: It’s not whether you can run the 100-meter sprint in 10 seconds: It’s not whether you’re the best-looking person in the room. It’s a whole bunch of qualities that come out of something like the Girl Guides or Boy Scouts codes. It’s integrity, it’s honesty, it’s generosity. It’s being willing to do more than your share. It’s all those types of qualities that are self-selected.

​

Having considered and chosen the classmate you think you would select it’s useful (to underline the point we are trying to get across here) that you have a look on the other side of the ledger. In other words, who is the classmate that would come last on your list? Who would you not choose - and why?  Which classmate do you think is going to do the worst? Think about it and then think about it again. Once again, we would suggest that that it won’t necessarily be the person with the lowest grades. Rather it’s more than likely to be the person who doesn’t shape up in the character department.

​

You know, you can’t change the way you were wired much, but you can change a lot of what you do with that wiring. It’s the habits that you generate now, those qualities, be they positive or negative qualities, that are the deciding factor.

​

The person who always claims credit for things they didn’t do. The person who always cuts corners. The person you can’t count on. In the end these are habit patterns. And such habits, be they positive or negative are formed when you’re at a young age. For example, it wouldn’t do me much good to get golf lessons now. If I’d taken golf lessons when I was your age, I might be a decent golfer. However, I didn’t and I’m not.

​

It’s worth remembering that;

 

“…the chains of habit are

too light to be felt

until they’re too heavy to be broken.”

 

We see this all the time. We see people with habit patterns that are self-destructive when they’re 50 or 60 and they really can’t change then. They’re imprisoned by them. But you’re not imprisoned by anything. So, when you write down the qualities of that person that you’d like to buy 10 percent of, look at that list and ask yourself, is there anything on that list I couldn’t do?

​

And the answer is there won’t be. And then look at the person you most certainly don’t want. Look at those qualities that you don’t like, if you see any of those in yourself – egotism, whatever it may be, selfishness – you can get rid of that. Such qualities are not ordained.

 

You could follow what Ben Graham did at an early age. Ben Graham looked around and he said, “Who do I admire?” He wanted to be admired himself and he said, “Why do I admire these other people?” And he said, “If I admire them for these reasons, maybe other people will admire me if I behave in a similar manner.” And he decided what kind of a person he wanted to be.

​

And if you follow that, at the end you’ll be the person you want to buy 10 percent of. That’s the goal and it’s something that’s achievable by everybody. 

​

So, to recap we are looking for three things:

​

• Integrity

• Intelligence

• Initiative (getting things done).

Thank you.
