Just Join IT among the Residents of Olivia Centre

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

One of the fastest-growing companies on the HR Tech market in the CEE region has moved into its new office in Olivia Centre.

 


Just Join
 IT is the largest portal with job offers for the IT industry in Poland. The company also owns RocketJobs.pl and Hello HR portals, dedicated to office workers and the HR industry. A total of one million people visit all three sites every month. The search for a new office was related to the continuing dynamic development of the company, which was founded only 6 years ago by two friends: Piotr Nowosielski and Tomasz Gański. From the very beginning, they were distinguished by their unconventional approach, high creativity and search for solutions that would change the recruitment portal market. They focused on ease, openness and unconventionality.

 

We were looking for a place that would fit into the unique mindset of Just Join IT. Creativity, buzzing energy, willingness to break the mold and mission to give people the best jobs in the world is the driving force behind our rapid growth. We needed a lot of space to work together and meet informally and create our own professional video studio. We considered several locations, but as soon as we visited the space in Olivia, we felt internally that this was it. The view of the sea and the housing estate in Żabianka, where Just Join IT took its first steps as a startup, additionally captivated us – said Mateusz Szcześniak , Operations Manager at Just Join IT, coordinating the office change process.

 

The company occupies an exceptionally representative 13. first floor in the Olivia Prime office building. It is the newest building of the largest business centre in Poland, whose leading stylistic motif is biophilia. The common areas of the building are filled with plants, and their main finishing material is wood. Most offices have extensive terraces and loggias, often filled with vegetation.

 

The author of the interior design is
Design Anatomy
, an architect studio of Olivia Centre, which has previously prepared a number of award-winning interior designs, m.in. observation deck on the 32nd floor of Olivia Star, conference space on the 34th floor and over 100,000 million people on the 32nd floor. m.kw. office space. The office has been designed to combine functionality, comfort of work and light, user-friendly interior designa. Weronika Budzyńska from Design Anatomy created the project with a view to introducing a calm and conducive to concentration working atmosphere, taking into account the principles of neurodiversity. The office space has been illuminated with natural light, which makes it exceptionally pleasant and light to look at. This effect is enhanced by the bright pastel colors used in the interior design. Workspaces have been divided into smaller zones with the introduction of acoustic panels, office and meeting rooms.

 

The neurodiversity aspect of the project is provided by places designed for more active forms of distraction from work. In the interiors, steel structures with energizing colors in the form of stretching ladders have been introduced, which give employees the opportunity to release tension and gain energy during an intense working day. These are not the only elements that directly affect well-being, as the interior of the office has been filled with plants. The project included the use of them to delineate individual open space zones, thanks to their use both in standing pots and suspended from ceilings. In the collaboration zone, the plants have been woven into the metal ceiling, thanks to which they create a beautiful natural canopy illuminated by decorative lamps.

 

We assess our presence in Olivia as a very positive – emphasizes Sandra Grzesiak, office manager at Just Join IT. – Changing the space to a larger, newer one and, above all, one where we are all on the same floor, definitely has a better effect on our work. The décor of the new office is very warm and homely, which is appreciated by our employees. The entire Just Join IT and RocketJobs.pl team are very happy with our new space. In the office, for example, we have ladders for exercises, and the sales department even organized a competition for the largest number of pull-ups. In the open part, we have arranged a space with sofas, tables and seats, which works well during our monthly company-wide meetings, as well as for celebrating successes or for evenings together, when we play games on the console and projector. An additional advantage is the possibility of coming to the office with pets, which our employees appreciate very much and come with their pets quite often. We have our regulars, e.g. the cute poodle Kokos.

 

The central point of the office is the Collaboration zone, from which there is a view of the city and the Bay of Gdańsk. It has been designed as a multifunctional place that fosters integration and team collaboration. The interior is filled with furniture of various forms and functions, and their selection is based on the idea of providing employees with maximum comfort during work and meetings. Additionally, the adjacent kitchen area has been designed to allow employees space to relax and unwind. The whole thing while maintaining the harmony of beige, gray, green, blue and red colors. The terrace overlooking the sea is a great inspiration in everyday work and a place for integration and relaxation.

 

Designed by Design Antomy, the conference rooms provide ideal conditions for effective work. Panels, acoustic ceilings, carpets and furniture are all decorated in monochromatic colours to encourage concentration and creativity. In addition, the use of display cabinets in the same colours as the interiors of the rooms adds character and complements the arrangement of the office.

 

An additional accent is provided by neon signs designed by Just Join IT, giving the space an individualized style.

 

Just Join IT is one of the most colourful and dynamic teams that have recently moved into Olivia – says Bogusław Wieczorek, Plenipotentiary of the Management Board of Olivia Centre. From the very beginning of their presence in our center, the team has been very visible in the public spaces and community initiatives of our center. Piotr Nowosielski was a juror in our Olivia Prize competition, in which we award the best initiatives of Olivia companies. Employees often use numerous restaurants and gyms, which also serve as a space for integration and building contacts. It is a very engaged and active community that adds value to our center.

We appreciate the comprehensive approach of Olivia’s team and end-to-end commitment, starting from design, through engineering works, to execution. In each of the areas, the experts acted professionally and coherently, which greatly facilitated the process of changing the office. summed up Mateusz Szcześniak from Just Join IT.

PULA – an innovative solution for Gdansk. An app that focuses on ecology!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Do you want to change your habits, improve your surroundings and be part of the sustainable community of Gdansk? You will be helped by PULA, an application in which you will obtain Good Coins, a virtual currency exchangeable for products and services of local entrepreneurs.

 

PULA – an innovative solution for Gdansk

Gdańsk has become a living laboratory of the
PULA project
. This is thanks to an international consortium of universities and organizations from Polish and Norway, which are working on an innovative solution. Thanks to it, the residents of Gdansk will be able to benefit from changing their habits, improve their surroundings and be part of a sustainable community in Gdansk. They will co-create PULA, an application based on a multi-stakeholder partnership of local entities.

 

What is PULA and how does it work?

The operation of the pool is based on the possibility for the user to earn a special, a local currency that can be obtained through responsible actions, changes in habits and joint local ventures. For example, shopping with an app partner, using reusable bags, or participating in a dedicated event. In exchange for such actions, the user of the application receives points, i.e. the so-called Good Coins, which can be used to “pay” for specific products and services, which – just like the activities themselves – are in line with the assumptions of sustainable development. Good Coins can be obtained m.in. for the use of sustainable transport, cleaning of public places, development of green areas or use of local circular economy services.

 

The operation of PULA is built on the basis of strategic partners – business (Olivia Centre), scientific (Fahrenheit Universities) and educational (Experyment Science Centre, Hevelianum). PULA also has local partners – m.in. gastronomy, services and social economy, while the provider of the IT solution is Primigenius s.c.

 

 

With each passing moment, the Pula is growing!

There are currently 30 locations on the PULA map where you can earn or spend Good Coins. These include: Avocado, a chain of shops, restaurants and bistros promoting responsible gastronomy, Good Deal, a social economy store, Zeroban, a social enterprise offering upcycled products, and institutions such as GIWK Sp. z o.o., Centre for Environmental Information and Education, Hevelianum.

 

The PULA network also includes local NGOs, such as PLONY or the Neighbourhood Energy Incubator. The partners offer not only prizes, but also joint ventures and events that will involve residents in the circulation of currency.

 

Thanks to mutual networking, the map of good spots on the map of Gdańsk is growing day by day. However, this is just the beginning – the app is in the pilot phase, and its full availability is planned for the beginning of the summer holidays. In addition to the opportunities to earn and spend Good Coins, a number of events for the benefit of local communities are planned as part of the POOL. Look for the PULA app in the store from mid-July 2023.

Greencoin Project

The pool was created as part of the
Greencoin project
. An innovative solution dedicated to Gdańsk has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and urban practitioners, For the sake of the common good, they have joined forces to multi-faceted research on how to motivate Gdańsk residents to undertake ecological behaviours, as well as how to strengthen these behaviours for a sustainable future. On the basis of their research, they developed a PULA.

 

“There is no shortage of sustainable technologies in the world. However, there was a noticeable dissonance between the state of technology and the reality around us. Cities evolve slowly, and in the dominant economic model, ecology is of no real value. Consequently, there is a deficit of stimuli driving positive change. –Translators M.Sc. Arch. Kacper Radziszewski from the Faculty of Architecture of the Gdańsk University of Technology, Greencoin project manager – When creating the assumptions of the project, we thought that if a person behaving responsibly received funds that they could spend on further sustainable solutions (products, services, technologies), then a self-reinforcing mechanism supporting sustainable behaviour would be created. And that’s how we created Pula.

 

The Greencoin project currently benefits from €1.62 million in funding received from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the EEA Grants. The goal of the Greencoin project is to create a system for promoting ecological behavior with the help of an alternative virtual currency, which will be made available to a wider audience as open-source software in the future.

 

The project has just been nominated for the Polish Intelligent Development Award 2023 in the Social Innovation category.

Did you know that… March 14th is the day of the unusual number Pi?

Posted on by obc_adm

Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14 due to the similarity of the decimal extension of the number to the date “March 14”, which is written in the US in the format 3.14. The first time Pi was celebrated was in 1988 at the initiative of Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco.

 

What do you possibly not know about Pi?

Pi(π) is the ratio of the circumference length of a circle to the length of its diameter. This number is fascinating, m.in. Because for many years it was very difficult to calculate. The first to do so, with an accuracy of two decimal places, was probably Archimedes in the third century. BC. The Greek mathematician is believed to have been the first to analyze the properties of π in depth. He used geometry in his work.

 

Many authors of historical studies in the field of mathematics emphasize that π was generally treated by the ancients in a practical way. The Babylonians were content with 3,125 and the Egyptians with 3,143. Interestingly, many Egyptian structures contain an approximate value of Pi in the various relationships between the dimensions of the objects. An interesting fact is that one of the wonders of the world, which is the pyramid of Cheops, contains in its dimensions the number π with an accuracy of four decimal places. When the researchers calculated the ratio of the sum of the two sides of the base of the building to its height, it turned out to be 3.1416! To this day, there are debates as to whether this was a coincidence or whether one of the builders was an unknown genius. Information about π is even found in the Holy Scriptures. From 1 Kings 7:23 it can be inferred that Pi is equal to 3.

 

In 1596, the mathematician Ludolf van Ceulen calculated the value of Pi with an “astronomical” accuracy of 20 decimal places, and before his death he managed to improve the result to 35. The number Pi was engraved on his tombstone, so it is thanks to Ludolf van Ceulen that Pi is sometimes called “Ludolfina”.

 

The first modern formula to calculate Pi is John Wallis’s infinite product of 1655. The same one who introduced the mathematical designation of infinity that we use today.

 

At the end of the 19th century, the British amateur mathematician William Shanks calculated the value of Pi to 707 decimal places. Since he did the calculations by hand, it took him 15 years!

 

Nowadays, the latest technology and complex computer algorithms are used to precisely determine the value of Pi. In 2019 Emma Haruka from Google Japan decided to show the world her new achievement. She calculated π with an accuracy of about 31 trillion decimal places. In doing so, it broke Peter Trueb’s record set in November 2016, which achieved an accuracy of about 22.5 trillion decimal places. However, the last word has not yet been said.

 

Yes! Some people think that the Greek letter π refers to the name of Pythagoras. This is a mistake. It really comes from the Greek word “perimetron” or “periphery” (circumference, periphery).

 

40 decimal places and the world goes round

The symbol π was introduced by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in his monograph “Synopsis palmariorum mathesos” in 1706. No one can remember its exact value. However, if you want to be sure that none of the calculations you make will cause a disaster, all you have to do is encode about 40 decimal digits in your head (cliché, right?). NASA only needs a dozen or so digits of Pi expansion not to spoil the International Space Station.

 

In 2005, a Japanese man recited 83,431 digits of π correctly, which was checked and confirmed, and his result was included in the Guinness World Records. (We think we are going to add order to some important discussion if we mention even in passing that there is a 1 digit inthe 100,000th decimal place in Pi and that there is no sequence 123456 in the first million digits.)

 

Pi has long been an inspiration for parascientists and artists. Ba! π even appeared in the name of the Raspberry Pi platform (the device consists of a single printed circuit board and was invented to support the learning of the basics of computer science). Supporters of metaphysics will probably be pleased to know that among the first 100 million digits of the expansion of Pi they will find every five-digit number, and with a probability of almost 2/3 their date of birth in the DDMMYYYY format.

 

And one more thing about the magic of Pi

π is the basis of many formulas and problems – in geometry, mathematical analysis, number theory. In the world of physics, it can be found, for example, in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and in the equations of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. The number of π can also be found in other scientific disciplines, such as computer science, architecture or construction.

  • The magnetic permeability of vacuum is 4 π*10-7.
  • Pi appears in formulas for radius of atom, electron size
  • is a factor in the cosmological constant
  • It is inextricably linked to the trigonometric calculus, which in turn is used in electronics, wave physics, medicine and astronomy

Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget: the winning projects have been announced

Posted on by obc_adm

EN VERSION

 

The first edition of the Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget has come to an end. During Thursday’s meeting of the Jury, the winning projects were selected and received funding from Olivia. They were announced during this year’s celebration of the district, Viva Oliwa.

 

The highest number of votes was received by the ” Library +” project, submitted by a group of parents from Oliwa. As part of the project, a children’s section will be created in the Oliwa Library, which is to encourage the youngest inhabitants of the district to visit the facility more often and to encourage them to make friends with books and reading.

 

Further funding will go to two institutions that will jointly implement the following projects: “ Cultural and Culinary Oliwa “, submitted by the City Initiative Association, and “What is worth seeing in Oliwa – inspiration over coffee”, submitted by the Special School Complex No. 2. These include creating a map of Oliwa with the biggest attractions of the district and places less popular but worth seeing. The map will also include cafes and other catering and service outlets. Thanks to this concept, it will be possible to promote local entrepreneurs widely.

 

The third co-financed project is “Arte-creation”, submitted by the Association for People with Parkinson’s Disease and Degenerative Brain Diseases and Caregivers: Park On. As part of it, 18 art and ceramic workshops with elements of art therapy will be conducted. They will be dedicated to people who, due to their age or as a consequence of a progressive degenerative brain disease, are at risk of depression, loss of fitness, and a sense of exclusion.

 

We would like to congratulate the entities that received funding and thank each of the applicants for their participation in the first edition of the Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget.

 





Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget part 2. We know the winners!

Posted on by obc_adm

For the second time, we decided to support the initiatives of the Olivians. The second edition of the Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget – a programme aimed at developing the potential of the district, modernising the common space and helping residents to undertake activities to integrate the Oliwa community – has come to an end.

 

After the success of last year’s pilot edition, a pool of PLN 18,000 was allocated to co-finance the three winning projects. The sponsors of the program are, as in 2020, Olivia Business Centre and the founder of the Gdańsk Community Foundation, Andrzej Stelmasiewicz. Funding under the Neighbourhood Budget was applied for by people living and running a business in Oliwa, associations, foundations and educational institutions, and the presented projects concerned both the infrastructure of the district and events supporting the development and relations of the inhabitants of Oliwa.

 

The call for proposals started on 20 July and lasted until the end of August 2021. The three winning projects were selected by a jury consisting of representatives of the Gdańsk City Council, the Oliwa District, an educational institution, a cultural institution and Olivia. The winning projects are connected by their open character – accessibility for the residents of Oliwa and visitors to the district. The results of the second edition of the programme were announced during the district festival, Viva Oliwa, on 11 September this year.

 

The following initiatives received funding:

“Christmas Festival on the Market Square in Oliwa”, submitted by the City Initiative Association. It is a social and cultural event, which includes decorative workshops for children and adults, joint arrangement of space, a Christmas fair and music.

 

“Sports and educational path”, submitted by Primary School No. 35 with Sports Departments named after Jan Parandowski in Gdansk. The installation will enable outdoor fun and learning.

 

“Tai Chi in Oliwa”, submitted by the Park On Association. The project includes 38 hours of Tai Chi classes for people with Parkinson’s disease, caregivers and people willing to conduct this form of activity. The aim of the project is to popularize knowledge about the disease, which affects approx. 1500 people. Joint activities can have a positive impact on the level of integration of the local community. The classes are also recommended for people with neurological disorders after COVID-19.

 

The next edition of the Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget is planned for the second half of 2022. We invite all residents of Oliwa, entrepreneurs, associations, foundations and institutions to submit projects.

 

 

Just Join IT in Olivia

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Only a few years ago, they were just a harmonious duo, which in an apartment in Gdańsk’s Żabianka district formed the foundations of a company that currently employs over 200 people. Their promotional campaigns, thanks to their high creativity, are causing a stir in the entire advertising industry. Now Just Join IT is moving to Olivia Centre, where it has rented the 13th floor of the newest Olivia Prime building.

 

The company was founded in 2017 by two friends, Piotr Nowosielski and Tomasz Gański. From the very beginning, they were distinguished by their unconventional approach, high creativity and search for solutions that would change the recruitment portal market. They focused on ease, openness and efficiency. Today, their portfolio consists of the Just Join IT, RocketJobs.pl and HelloHR brands and they are among the largest recruitment portals, which are visited by a total of nearly one million people per month.

 

Just Join IT is the most popular portal with job offers for the IT industry in Poland. It has built its position on the market in just five years, completely without the support of investors. It is visited every month by over 0.5 million Polish programmers, who at the same time view the ads more than 4 million times. Global companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Google, Netguru, InPost, Tiktok, GSK Tech, Wakacje.pl, Samsung, Volvo, WP.pl, Orange Polska, Nike, T-Mobile, Empik and Allegro published their job offers on the justjoin.it.

 

RocketJobs.pl is the job portal of the future for candidates from marketing, sales, finance, engineering, HR, BI & Data and many others. Behind RocketJobs.pl is a community of more than 170,000 active members, gathered in a few Facebook groups, and the job portal itself is already visited by more than 400,000 white-collar workers per month.

 

Hello HR is the first job board for the HR industry in Poland, which started its operations in 2019. So far, more than 2,000 companies have used the portal, and it is visited by over 20,000 users from the industry every month. The company also owns projects such as Just Geek IT, RocketSpace, and Oh My Dev. In addition, since 2021, they have also been recruiting among employees with the Ukrainian language.

 

The three most recognizable signs of a company are an informal atmosphere, creativity, and diligence. Already in the first year of operation, Piotr and Tomek thought about organizing a unique event for the IT industry. He implemented this idea on September 26, 2019 and turned into the Just Join Games Developer Olympiad, in which 350 participants participated. Competitors tested their strength in hard disk throwing, monitor push, 1024-meter run, Olympic scrum, laptop sprint, deploy twisting, work-life balance, firewall jump or timed keyboard folding. The next edition of the event is scheduled for September this year, and tickets for it are still available.

 

In the spring of this year, their promotional campaign Conversation about Work was widely acclaimed, as part of which the needs and expectations of the young generation towards work and employers were presented, which for the older generation provide both knowledge about the expectations of the generation entering the labour market and about changes in the approach to work-life balance.

 

“We chose Olivia because of the dynamic growth we are recording year on year and the simultaneous need for quality space in the very center of Gdańsk’s business district,” says Piotr Nowosielski, CEO of Just Join IT. – In addition, the layout of Olivia Business Centre allows us to integrate teams despite the ubiquitous remote work. We are convinced that the new workplace will be the next element of our professionalization as early as January 2023.

 

The company will occupy a very representative 13th floor in the Olivia Prime office building. It is the newest building of the largest business centre in Poland, whose leading stylistic motif is biophilia: its interiors are filled with plants, the main finishing material in the common areas is wood, and most of the offices have extensive terraces and loggias, often filled with plants. The interior design of the Just Join IT office will be the responsibility of the award-winning
Design Anatomy
 studio, whose portfolio includes the development of over 100,000m2 of office space, including Sii’s offices, the interiors of the observation deck and the conference center at the top of Olivia Star.

 

“Olivia’s ecosystem has been creating a number of innovative companies for years, and the entry of Just Join IT will complement our tenant portfolio with a new, exceptionally creative team ,” he says Bogusław Wieczorek, Plenipotentiary of the Management Board of Olivia Centre. – Their activity is noticeable on the market, their positive energy is contagious to everyone they come into contact with, so it is also an added value for us in terms of building our community.

You don’t have to go to the center of Gdansk to feel the atmosphere of the St. Dominic’s Fair! For all fans of handicrafts, unusual and unique things, we have prepared the Summer Variety Market with items from local designers and artists.    On August 24th, we will see you on the patio of the Olivia Centre. Take a break from work and feel the spirit of SLOW LIFE. As reported by numerous studiesaboutWatching arts and crafts has a beneficial effect on our brain by lowering cortisol levels in the blood. Creating itself has an even better impact, so if you haven’t found your hobby yet, maybe you’ll find inspiration here.  




Come and meet local creators or join their ranks if you create yourself and want to show yourself to the world. Or treat yourself and your loved ones to a unique gift in the form of handmade jewelry or ceramics. Unusual items presented during the event can be a beautiful souvenir or a unique gift. All the more so because the guests of our market will be able to take advantage of a special price offer prepared for us by artists.




Spend one of the last days of your vacation with us and visit the tropical with the exotic TIKI bar or ride the coolest observation deck in the Tri-City.  The Variety Market is an event that will not only bring the work of local artists and craftsmen closer, but will also be a great opportunity to support charities that will be with us on that day.
