Where are your offices?
Our main office is based at one of Barcelona’s key landmarks – the Torre Mapfre on Barcelona’s beach front.
You are ranked at number 11 in the Top 20 Best Workplaces in Spain, what makes ExoClick such a great place to work?
We are convinced that keeping our team happy will lead to positive results. We have invested in a modern office with a stunning view of the beach every day. Some of our employee benefits include flexitime, free language classes, fresh organic fruit, refreshments, health insurance, gym and restaurant discounts, our annual team building day – this year we went to Castelldefels for a day of beach sports, lunch and cocktails, and everybody gets an extra paid days holiday on their birthday. We created a video showing our company benefits that you can see on our careers page www.exoclick.com/careers along with our current job offers. More than anything else, as management, we always try to remain accessible to all team members so that communication flows. Our main core company value is ‘INNOVATION – where people and creativity drive innovative technology’, innovation comes from everywhere inside ExoClick!
How did ExoClick start ?
Back in 2006 the digital ad network industry was very small and I saw a gap in the market for a network to compete with Google and Yahoo. I love coding and so I developed a proprietary ad-serving technology called EXADS™, that allowed advertisers and publishers to trade online advertising space, and ExoClick was born. In December we will celebrate our 9th birthday!
Besides technical skills what other attributes will make a candidate a good fit for joining the ExoClick team?
Open-mindedness, honesty, adaptability to a constantly changing business landscape, a passion for digital technologies, to be able to work in a multi-cultural team and to be a team player.
