Tech Recruiter

The role

As a Tech Recruiter you help our hiring managers find great people across the globe and provide a top-notch candidate experience - from first connection to signed contract. The key market you will be focusing on is Software, Data and Machine Learning Engineers in Europe and the US.

You'll be our first in-house recruiter, playing a key role in building out our recruitment capabilities. You'll be part of a small team of four, working closely with the Head of People. You’ll do lots of hands-on work, from sourcing candidates and screening CVs to scheduling and conducting interviews. You'll be a key sparring partner for hiring managers, providing smart and thoughtful insights to get to the best results. With your guidance, they can apply our Overstory best practices for recruiting.
You’ll work in an agile manner, learning from internal and external feedback, iterating quickly, and deciding when to build for a scalable future and when to move quickly to capture the market.

What you’ll do

You’re comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with working at an early-stage startup and you don’t need to have everything well defined before you act. You can think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision. You’re able to zoom out and think strategically, while also being extremely detail-oriented in the hands-on work of getting candidates through the door. You understand that effective communication is an important part of your work, so you can manage expectations well to hiring managers while keeping a good working relationship. You balance quality, speed and cost effectiveness in the decisions you take. You have a passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis.
