Welcome to Aukro, the largest online auction marketplace in the Czech Republic! We believe that auctions have extreme potential for the future, as they are the fairest price determination for both buyer and seller. Our figures confirm this: 80% of goods are sold through auctions. Auctions are therefore once again playing a major role. 😊 🚀 "We want to be a safe place where things get a new life." We connect hundreds of sellers with hundreds of thousands of customers daily (we have 4.5 million registered users). They transact more than 4 billion crowns with us in a year. And we know we can do much more. We want to grow and we are definitely not resting on our laurels. We see great potential in expanding into other verticals like cars and real estate. 🏡 Within the second market, we see space for growth in the apparel and footwear categories, as well as home, garden and workshops. In addition to this, we help e-shops to address the problem of used or damaged goods in the electronics and home appliances sector. You will soon find treasures from all sections and categories with us. 🙌 What do we want? ▪️ We want to speak to younger people - people setting up their first apartment, and young families with children who are accumulating unwanted items. ▪️ We want Auction to be the first choice for getting rid of stuff thats in the way at home and snapping up new things for the home. ▪️ We want to associate Aukro with the joy of getting rid of excess and the pleasure of acquisition. ▪️ We want to teach that buying second-hand is normal. ▪️ We want to teach that every item can be given a new life. You can work with us in Brno, Zlín, Benešov, Prague and actually anywhere - covid taught us that remote is not bad. Either way, we like personal contact and meeting people - after all, many great ideas come naturally over a good cup of coffee or tea. ☕ Not found your dream job? Email us at hr@aukro.cz and well try to find it together! 🧡
