Oslo, Oslo County, Norway Canonical Full time

We are a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source. Our company publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud. We change the world on a daily basis by pushing the boundaries of innovation.

As a pioneer remote-first tech company with a product that inspires people globally, we attract a huge number of applicants to our organisation. Our unique hiring process empowers our business-based Hiring Leadership team to lead talent selection. The Talent Science team ensures that our processes are effective and that the business is able to make the best decisions to select exceptional talent.

About the Role

This role is about the science of talent and performance. You will work closely with Hiring Leads to drive initiatives, automation, and best practice while offering an expert viewpoint on talent assessments. This is not a recruiter position; it's about providing real-time insight to our business and helping them move through their hiring processes efficiently.

Responsibilities
  • Drive talent analytics to provide our business with real-time insights and partner with the business to help them move through their hiring processes efficiently.
  • Conduct in-depth behavioural talent interviews to provide considerable insights into motivations and behaviours.
  • Build key relationships with global stakeholders to ensure we deliver against our hiring agenda and monitor hiring activities to drive results and consistency in our operational processes.
  • Develop data-driven insights to support robust decision-making processes and inform our hiring decisions.
  • Consider our employer brand and how our interactions with candidates impact their experience.
  • Review and streamline hiring processes and tools to drive continuous improvement.
  • Work with external third parties and platforms to maximise our return on investment.
  • Bring a passion for diversity and inclusion to ensure we remove unconscious bias from our hiring process and underpin our sourcing strategy.
What We Are Looking For In You
  • An exceptional academic background including a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a Psychology-based subject.
  • Strong analytical problem-solving skills to identify trends and patterns using R or Python, SQL, statistical analysis, and BI tooling.
  • Exposure and appreciation of psychometric assessments, including interpretation.
  • Experience conducting behavioural, competency-based interviews with the ability to train stakeholders and advise on how to get the best out of an interview.
  • A demonstrative viewpoint on talent, with a deep appreciation of how to predict and measure success.
  • Passionate about using scientific approaches to select talent.
  • A high level of personal organisation to work remotely and be effective.
  • Willingness to travel to company events 2-4 times a year for up to two weeks each.
