Navigating a Candidate-Driven Market
This is a candidate-driven market — and it has been since the pandemic.
Top talent has options. They’re selective, informed, and expect more than just competitive salary. Securing them requires market insight, credibility, speed, and the ability to position opportunities properly.
We act as your market partner — managing candidate expectations, advising on strategy, and ensuring you don’t lose the people you actually want.

Understanding the problem
We work in committed partnerships, applying logical and well-planned searches, executed to the highest standard, and considering every factor of recruitment.
Personal Brand
Does your organisation lack a personal brand? Do you struggle to attract candidates over competitors?
Challenging Location
Is the role based in a challenging location? Does the local talent pool lack the skills you're searching for?
Trends & Benchmarking
Are you up to date with market trends and salary benchmarking? Is something missing?
Progression
Are you offering the right progression opportunties? Is the candidate able to progress and develop?
Time Constraints
Do you have time constraints on making a placement? Did you need the candidate yesterday?
Job Criteria
Is the job criteria unrealistic? Is the person you're looking to hire simply non-existent?
Organizations in this sector develop, finance, and operate projects across wind, solar, storage, and emerging technologies while navigating grid constraints, planning frameworks, and evolving policy. Progress depends on teams that can deliver projects, manage interfaces, and adapt as markets mature.
Effective team building in renewable energy comes from recognizing where experience translates across technologies and project stages. Bringing in people who have worked through development, construction, and operation supports momentum, delivery confidence, and long-term system impact.

Our search
methodology
To deliver the best executive search solution, we work closely with the hiring manager to better understand the organisation and it's culture.
We operate in a number of ways to source candidates for senior level positions. We thoroughly map out a market and identify all possible matches for the specific position then utilise our own network to find the best candidates avaliable.
This stage consists of multiple rigirous interview processes in order to ensure the candidates presented meet all of the briefing requirements.
At this stage, we begin to arrange interviews with candidates on the clients behalf, as well as assisting with reference gathering and package negotiations.
