About Capalo AI
Capalo AI builds the software behind the energy transition. Our Zeus VPP platform turns fleets of batteries into a single, coordinated virtual power plant, optimizing storage and trading electricity across European markets automatically, around the clock. We’re a Helsinki-based company growing quickly across Finland, the Baltics, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland and beyond.
As we grow, finding the right people is one of the most important things we do. That’s where you come in.
The Role
As our Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll keep our hiring processes running smoothly, from the first conversation with a hiring manager through every interview round. Our sourcers bring in strong candidates; you take them through a process that’s well run, fair and fast, and help hiring managers make good decisions..
This is a hands-on recruiting role. Your craft is running processes well: keeping things moving, keeping candidates engaged and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
You’ll join our People team as part of Talent Acquisition, working hand in hand with the hiring managers building Capalo: the optimization and trading minds behind our product, the engineers shipping it and the commercial leaders growing our European markets.
What you’ll do
Run several recruitment processes at once across technical, trading, commercial and leadership roles
Hold kick-off meetings with hiring managers and turn their needs into clear profiles and interview plans
Screen candidates, coordinate interviews and gather feedback so decisions happen quickly
Keep candidates informed at every stage and make sure everyone who talks to us leaves with a good impression
Keep our ATS organized and current so we can trust our pipeline data
Help build the basics as we grow: interview templates, scorecards and candidate communication
What you’ll bring
Experience running multiple concurrent recruitment processes end-to-end, in-house or agency
Pace and organisation: you’re comfortable juggling many processes and good at keeping them moving in a fast-paced environment
Confidence with hiring managers: you can ask the right questions, challenge, give honest updates and keep a process on track when it stalls
Comfort with ambiguity: we’re still building how we hire, so you’ll do a bit of everything for now
Strong written and spoken English, since you’ll be in constant contact with candidates and hiring managers
Curiosity about technical and energy markets or the drive to get up to speed quickly
Nice to have:
Experience hiring engineering, technical or quantitative talent
Experience in a fast-growth, startup or scale-up environment
Experience hiring for the energy industry.
What to expect
This role is based in Helsinki. We work in a hybrid model with three days a week together at the office.
Recruitment process: First interview → Take-home assignment → Technical interview → Bar raiser
Why join us
A mission that matters. Your work helps build the infrastructure behind the energy transition.
A foundational role. You’ll help shape how we hire and welcome people as we scale, with real room to build.
Ownership from day one, in a company that’s growing fast and moving quickly.
