Full time role
In-person · Valencia, VC, ES
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our team. Ideally you'll have worked in a fast paced role, within a fast scaling company. You should have experience recruiting a variety of non-tech roles and thrive in an innovative environment, can roll up your sleeves to get the job done, but most importantly have fun.
The best people will bring previous knowledge of recruitment and have a passion to continually learn and grow.
You will work closely with hiring managers across areas within the Octopus Energy but also work super collaboratively with our Recruiters - we share ideas and look to continually evolve the way we do things to improve candidate experience and help hiring managers hire amazing people for Octopus.
At Octopus Energy we're super passionate about attracting amazing talent to join us on our exciting journey. Maintaining an excellent candidate experience throughout the entire recruitment journey is key for us.
What you'll do
- Partner with hiring managers in Spain to understand their hiring needs and role requirements
- Build great long term relationships with candidates - from screening to offering candidates (that's the best bit!) to deliver a diverse range of candidates
- Constantly provide an amazing candidate experience and look to always improve this across the team
- You'll need to source, attract and recruit the best candidates
- Interview candidates for Octopus. Providing a different view and insight for hiring managers is really important... especially if we want to hire the best people for the role and the way we work here
- Work closely with stakeholders in the UK and with our Head of Talent in London
What you'll need
- You do need to know your stuff - this role is for an Talent Acquisition Specialist so, you’ll need to know how to do attract the best talent
- You love to work with all kinds of people - you’ve got no functional shoulder pads - it’s not ‘my team versus other teams’, it’s ‘we’re all working together to change the energy system globally, and I’ll lend anyone a hand’
- Often, we can only give you the question and not the answer, because if we knew the answer, we wouldn’t be hiring - are you someone who not only finds answers, but creates value by coming back and asking better questions?
- You focus on output not input, what’s important versus what’s not important and obsessively strive to make things better
- Previous experience hiring in a fast paced business
- You'll need to interview candidates, so previous experience screening and assessing candidates for both hard skills and cultural qualities is needed
- To speak fluent Spanish and English at a business level. The 80% of the interviews are in Spanish so it's necessary a good level of Spanish as well.
Why else you'll love it here
- Our company culture - we won best company to work for in 2022, on Glassdoor we we're voted 50 best places to work in 2022 and our Group CEO, Greg has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our - this is the same here in Spain
- Flexible working environment
- Relaxation - we don’t count your holidays here, we work hard, and so we know you need to play hard as well (within reason of course)
- Equity Options Scheme - you own your own part of the business, share options in the whole Octopus Energy Group so we all work together towards success
- Office culture - have a certain tech requirement? We’ll do our best to get it. Our offices are also stocked with fruit, breakfast, great coffee and soft drinks. Weekly on a Friday we all get together (this happens virtually too) for company updates and drinks - we call it Family Dinner
