Gm everyone! TON Society Intern here and I'm here today with another episode of “TON Society Intern Interview on TON Foundation Members”.
The member we will be introducing today will be Sarah, @sc_ton (TG), and she's in-charge of talent recruitment and BD here at TON Foundation!
- When did you join TON Foundation and what is your R&R?
I’ve joined around 3 months ago 🙂
I carry out recruitment and BD here at TF.
- Where did you work previously and in what R&R?
I was in Binance’s recruitment team. I was part of the team which scaled the legal team from 0-1.
When we first started hiring, the legal team was 5 people. When I left, the team was around 80 people.
I was also POC for Global Campus Recruitment, where we kickstarted the internship programme at Binance.
Other departments I recruited for included Finance Products (Futures, Social trading, Custody), BNB Chain, Binance Labs.
- Fun story: craziest candidate you’ve interviewed
The most crazy one would be a Taliban associated person. I honestly could not tell 😂 he was so smiley, calm and professional.
- How is it like working alongside with the individuals within TON Foundation?
Really great! We have a global team of over 15 nationalities. We have people from Asia, EU, America, even Latin America!
It is so international. This showcases the beauty of TON blockchain - true decentralisation and openness to differences.
- What are some of the challenges you've faced so far working at TON
Definitely picking up all this technical knowledge. Luckily we have members in the team who are proficient at this, very happy that we help one another 🙂
- What are the goals for yourself and TON as a whole?
Find a killer DApp. LFG 🙌
