Junior Test Analyst

at  S4labour Ltd

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Our motto is ‘Be Your Best’. And it is a philosophy that drives the products and services we offer our customers and support our teams. Our purpose is to build products and services that support our customers improve productivity. We have built market leading software solutions to help the industries we work in be at their best, though smart scheduling, H.R. insight, efficient payroll, consultancy and more. Our flagship software was created in 2012 in response to requests from hospitality clients for an efficient labour scheduling tool and is used to optimise labour scheduling and management. In recent years, S4labour has grown into new markets releasing new products as well as looking to expanding internationally in the near future.

Our aims are to:

• Provide our clients with ever superior customer service
• Understand better our clients’ labour costs
• Improve their profitability and labour productivity
• Supporting our customer in improving their service

S4labour was ‘built by operators, for operators’ and is one of our unique selling points. Given labour can account for +30% of operational costs in hospitality, there is a clear need for a tool that matches labour supply with demand and is easy for operators to use and interpret. We are providing an easy to use, intuitive system which helps people run their business better.
S4labour is growing and now deployed in over 2,000 UK sites and receiving fantastic customer feedback. We also have an experienced team of consultants who have worked in the industry for most of their professional careers (our CEO is also a qualified beer sommelier and our CTO a trained chef!) so understand our clients’ needs.
S4labour is a small, friendly, exciting and highly ambitious and innovative business. We are expanding rapidly, with an annual growth rate of circa of 50% a year with more new products being developed. You will have real accountability and ownership from day one, coupled with a comprehensive induction and training. This is the role today, but we want to know where you can take it in the future. Besides the role we would love to know what else you could bring to our organisation.
If you get excited at the prospect of helping to build a small company while developing yourself and challenging us, then we’d love to hear from you.
