About the role

We’re looking for a Talent Partner with deep expertise in Data Centre, Projects or Engineering recruitment to be responsible for end-to-end hiring for these critical functions in Norway. You’ll be a strategic partner to senior leaders, owning hiring plans, market mapping and delivery across senior and specialist roles. This is a hands-on role - you will personally run high-impact searches, influence hiring decisions with data and market insight and help build a world-class hiring bar for Corporate functions, specifically Finance and Legal teams.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support hiring delivery across the Nordics (focus on Norway), including project delivery/controls, construction, commissioning, facilities/ops, electrical/mechanical and data centre operations.
• Run full-cycle recruiting from intake and calibration through sourcing strategy, assessment design, interview process, offer management, and closing.
• Partner with Projects, DC Ops and Engineering leadership to translate delivery milestones and capacity plans into hiring roadmaps.
• Provide Nordics market intelligence (comp, competitor mapping, location dynamics, realistic time-to-fill).
• Build pipelines for recurring and hard‑to‑fill roles; balance local hiring with relocation/global search where needed.
• Maintain talent maps for priority hubs and role families across Projects, DC and Engineering.
• Manage external partners (exec search/specialist agencies) with clear briefs, scorecards, and performance expectations.
• Raise selection quality via structured interviewing (competencies, calibrated scorecards, consistent debriefs) and deliver a strong candidate experience (timely, transparent, high‑touch).

About you:

• 8+ years of recruiting experience, with substantial depth in Nordic markets (in‑house and/or agency).
• Proven track record recruiting across a range of seniorities, including senior specialist and leadership roles.
• Strong stakeholder management with the ability to influence and challenge senior leaders constructively.
• Demonstrated sourcing capability (market mapping, outreach strategy, talent research) and comfort operating in competitive markets.
• High bar for quality and process where structured interviewing, evidence‑based decisioning and strong candidate experience are paramount.
• Executive search or top‑tier search firm experience (or equivalent high‑calibre retained search environment), particularly for DC roles.
• Experience recruiting in high‑growth tech, infrastructure, fintech, or regulated environments.
• Familiarity hiring across UK/EU and navigating location, compliance, and compensation complexity.
• Comfort partnering on compensation/leveling discussions and advising on market benchmarks.

What We Can Offer You:

At Nscale, you'll find a collaborative, supportive, and innovative environment where your contributions spark real impact. We're building something extraordinary, and we want you at the core.

• Highly competitive package (base + equity) with reviews every 12 months.
• Join the fastest‑growing tech startup, your chance to push boundaries, collaborate with brilliant minds, and make your mark on cutting‑edge AI.
