Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We’re on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.
We’re looking for a Co-ordinator on an initial 6 month contract and there is a high possibility this will become a permanent role.
You will work closely with our other recruiters and the hiring managers across Octopus Energy – 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.
This role specifically will focus on hiring for our Low Carbon Technology teams as we spearhead this revolution. The roles will vary across different types and levels of Engineers and Installers across the UK. Our new Low Carbon Tech centre is based in Slough where the majority of training will be run out of here. You can read more about the centre HERE
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
- This role is focused on sourcing, screening and progressing candidates through the interview pipelines to recruiters and hiring managers
- Build great relationships with 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
What you’ll need
- You’ll need to know how to screen and source the best talent
- Experience sourcing or recruiting across high volume roles in a fast moving business
- 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
