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 a Senior Talent Partner 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.
