Energy markets are more volatile than ever. Rapid electrification and the rise of AI are driving unprecedented demand for power, while energy costs continue to rise across the globe. For the world's largest energy buyers, managing energy has never been more complex or more critical.

Verse helps these organizations manage complex power portfolios with confidence by unifying energy data, planning, forecasting, and operations in one tool. Our Energy Cost Intelligence platform, Aria, brings together energy, finance, and operations teams with real-time, finance-ready intelligence—replacing spreadsheets and consultants with precision across the entire energy lifecycle. Built by an expert team of energy buyers, data scientists, and engineers, Verse enables faster, smarter energy decisions that reduce risk and lower energy costs.

The Role

Verse is seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter to join our People & Culture team. In this role, you'll own full-cycle recruiting across the company, with a particular focus on technical hiring. You'll partner closely with leadership to define hiring strategies, identify top talent, and ensure an exceptional candidate experience from first touch through offer.

This is a highly impactful role for someone who enjoys both execution and building. You'll not only fill critical roles but also help shape the systems, processes, and interview practices that allow Verse to scale while maintaining a high hiring bar.

• Structured Interviewing & Interviewer Enablement: Partner with the Head of People to design, implement, and reinforce structured interviewing practices. Train interviewers on effective candidate evaluation, interview techniques, and consistent use of scorecards to improve hiring outcomes.
• Inclusive Hiring & Bias Mitigation: Help build and maintain equitable hiring processes by identifying potential sources of bias, supporting interviewer education, and driving best practices that promote fair and consistent candidate evaluation.
• Data-Driven Recruiting Operations: Track, analyze, and communicate recruiting metrics including pipeline health, conversion rates, source effectiveness, offer acceptance rates, and time-to-fill. Use data and insights to inform hiring decisions and continuously optimize recruiting performance.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders across the organization. Collaborate with executives, hiring managers, and the People & Culture team to align recruiting efforts with business objectives, workforce planning, and organizational growth.

• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills

• Familiarity with structured interviewing methodologies
