What you'll need..
- Experience in sourcing is a must - we’re always innovating on ways we can engage with talent now and for future pipelines
- You’ll need to know how to screen the best talent - including being comfortable meeting candidates virtually at phone screen to really assess a good cultural fit
- Experience recruiting across either tech, finance or investment roles in a fast moving business would be a big bonus - or other mid to senior level roles
- 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’
- You'll need to interview candidates, so previous experience screening and assessing candidates across a variety of roles for both hard skills and cultural qualities is needed
