Anna Stetsenko
IT-recruiter, head of the agency Indigo. More than seven years of experience in IT-recruitment. Actively participates in the development of HR-IT-community in Ukraine, wrote a provocative article on DOU.ua and can close positions even from Antarctica.
What do you do in your work?
Hello! I — Anna Stetsenko, people and IT-recruiter. It is therefore logical that a big part of what I'm doing, rotates in #it, #recruiting, #people.
The project, which deprived me of virginity business, if I may say so, — is a recruitment agency
Indigo. Now a team of eight IT-oriented, GetThingsDone-obsessed and Freelance-advanced hedhanterov. In 2007, I was one of the first in Ukraine to take IT-Recruiting niche and never regretted it. Since last year tightened more specialized in internet marketing, and now we learn Hunt SEOshnikov Google and analysts.The most creative project — «Shantambala». Easkstranstvo spontaneously arose spontaneously and as a living, inspired by a passionate desire to know themselves, to realize and enjoy life. It started with what came to "Shantambalu" on the next vipassana. I fell in love with the people, place, contact improvisation and did not notice, she became involved in the development of eco-art village near Odessa. :)
Most failed project — Recruforce— SaaS-solutions for the automation of the recruitment process. The project is still alive, but active development and promotion freeze. I wanted to help recruiters, to facilitate routine, but at the start we did not appreciate the size of the market, and then the Russian Internet was not ready for the cloud.
Also I do a lot of good for the HR-IT-community of Ukraine and his beloved city of Dnipropetrovsk.
How does your workplace?
I'd better work at home or in coffee shops than in the office space. I like to sit on the floor and windowsills during operation. I productively when I am surrounded by flowers and oranges.
If I'm in the river and work in an office, then my workspace looks like the photo on the cover.
What hardware and software use?
I epplofil obvious and gugloman. Therefore, for the work I need a MacBook Air and iPhone. My Mac failed me once in four years — in the jungles of Peru, but for such cases in the journey I am taking another iPad mini.
Actively use Google services: Google Apps, Google Drive (in parallel to store information in Dropbox), Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs.
For the recruitment process (CRM for clients and candidates) use our same Recruforce project.
Recently returned to the task-tracker KanbanFlow and refused to DropTask (It was beautiful, but not functional). It is convenient to display our stand-kanban board through the projector (if everyone in the office), or fumble screen in a Skype (if you are working remotely) and to track the progress of projects.
Many communicate in Skype, there is a general chat (Indigo team), there occur all discussions.

If there is a choice, then the purchase of software will support domestic producers. If the software is really convenient and beautiful, you always write the creators of gratitude and offered to assist in the development and set commands. :)

Once our team lead Olya Shatoha I wrote an article about the applicationsWhich are useful for recruiters, where you can find more information on specialized softinushkam.
How do you organize your time?
Long-term plans? Are you seriously? :) Do you want to make God laugh — tell him about your plans. So I live the "here and now" and replaced the concept of dreaming planning. Plans annoying me and inspire dreams.
It is clear that the dream came true, I have become attached to their terms. When it comes to a particular dream, its relation with the current reality.
Crash test for the dream: "goodies my life will grow in translating this dream into reality or not?".
If yes — dream of being. To realize the dream Coaching using the tool "balance wheel"Every six months doing reviews and look dynamic.
Last year, I am experimenting with the output media. So what? We all have a holy day without work. Muslims Friday, the Jews — Saturday, the Christians — Sunday. Than among the worst? Therefore, on Wednesday decided outside the level of the problem "must", and the output made free to "want". To keep justice, introduced the Indigo team off-day during business hours. The only thing some time had to re-educate customers that on Wednesday I do not work. :)
It is obvious that the biggest "my darling" — this time. If you stand before a choice: to free up time and save money, — the choice is obvious. Therefore I delegate their routine household tasks assistant. Actively yuzayu concierge service "PrivatBank" to buy tickets, accommodation beech, delivering gifts and bonuses to his team. It relieves me greatly.
If we talk about the mode of the day, everything is flexible. Sleep six or seven hours a day, go to bed until midnight. Morning for me is sacred. It is only mine, and I myself strongly raduyu: running, swimming, yozhus, meditate, read, watch movies, go to the SPA, nothing to plan and do not hurry. It motivates greet the sun. :) recently gave the following formula:
What place sport occupies in your life?
Now running for me — a dance in length. Long I wanted to start running in the morning, but did not have enough willpower. Therefore, he added Interteyment in jogging and decided to take a picture everything you see while running. He introduced the hashtag # achtovyviditebegayapoutramAnd now can not stop me. I run almost every day and everywhere am (Antarctica, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Peru, Argentina, Russia and Ukraine). Here You will find my layfhakerskie advice on how to run 5 km without a stop in Rio de Janeiro.
Recently I began to combine jogging with my friends shifty, potential customers and business partners.
Very comfortably. :)
One of my favorite pictures in the series # achtovyviditebegayapoutram.
After running bathe in the river or in the pond next to which I run, and I do Surya-namaskar (Bow sun).
My bows seen the Pacific, Indian, Southern, Atlantic Ocean and the Black, Azov, Mediterranean, Dead, Red, Caribbean, Galilee and the Arabian Sea. In Cuba, however, it was fun. The locals did not know what yoga is, and thought I was a dancer. For dancers Cubans respect, and I was constantly treated to lobster and fruit.
Layfhakerstvo from Anna Stetsenko
Most of all I am inspired and I was not other people's books and speeches, and living examples of my inner circle. For example, the same Olya Shatoha. For me Olya — a real man of the generation of Indigo. She came to us in Indigo in 20 years, now she is 23 years old, she Lydian stone team of seven recruiters who are older than 10 years Oli–15, introduced scrum in Indigo, makes his Signor developer level, and all this combines with active travel by Japan, India, US, Europe, and hiking.
Penultimate campaign Oli was with the elements, life-threatening, and when I asked her why she had put herself in such tests, Olga learned wisdom, worthy of the great philosopher:
"Hike — This Zen Buddhism in its purest form. Although hiking is very much breaking the psyche, but every once in a mere five to seven days of the campaign for take-away lessons yourself so much can not stand for five to seven years of life. In the campaign you are real, no frills, no pretenses. You remain alone, the trail, with nature. Amazing moment when you get lost, despite the panic, hunger, cold. At home I have a poster on which is written: “Getting lost will help you find yourself”. Probably the best and I can not explain to you. "
So my main recommendation — surround yourself with people who are your teachers and inspirers.
Tips for layfhakingu of the Indigo team:
- In our office it is written on the wall: “Do what you love, love what you do”. If you do not love your job and do not burn what you do, — go right now.
- Find time for creativity. No matter what is your understanding — painting, embroidery, cooking or herbarium, — the main thing that you enjoy the process.
- Pushing the boundaries. Yoga teacher once said Anya: "Find your comfort limit of possibilities in asana (yoga posture) and mentally do a little bit more."
- Take care of health. Exercise, eat and breathe properly.
- Travel! So many and far as you allows your schedule and budget.
