Senior Recruiter (f/m/x)

Your Role 

Become part of Tanso and leverage your skills for climate impact. 

As Senior Recruiter, your mission is to own and elevate Tanso's end-to-end hiring experience - from first outreach to signed offer. You are a trusted partner to our hiring teams and an expert in finding, engaging, and closing top talent across functions. You combine structured, scalable processes with a personal, high-touch approach that reflects Tanso's values and high standards. 

You operate with full ownership, high speed, and a deep understanding of what makes a candidate the right fit - both technically and culturally. You bring a systems mindset to recruiting: building talent pipelines, running data-informed processes, and refining tools and workflows to scale with our growth. Most importantly, you ensure every candidate - whether hired or not - leaves the process as an advocate for Tanso. 

How You Succeed 

• Own and execute full cycle recruiting for business and technical roles, across multiple departments.
• Collaborate closely with hiring managers to scope roles, define scorecards and run structured interview processes.
• Proactively source, engage, and convert high-quality candidates through outbound search and network building.
• Ensure a smooth and professional candidate experience at every stage of the funnel.
• Track and analyze recruiting metrics to guide priorities.

• We offer an environment that puts your needs first. You’ll get access to sponsored EGYM Wellpass to find inner peace at yoga or kill it at HIIT workouts with the team.

• Strong track record hiring for commercial and technical roles (business, sales, product, engineering, etc.)
• Expert-level sourcing skills with a track record of converting top-of-funnel candidates into hires
• Experience working with modern ATS and sourcing tools (e.g. Ashby, Lever, Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter)

You're wondering why there isn't a longer list of hard requirements in the job description? We believe it's more important that you are excited about the role and want to grow with it, instead of fulfilling some specific high-level requirements. We think there can be numerous different paths that could qualify you for this role, and we want to hear YOUR story.
