Deep brief, not a JD.
A 45-minute conversation that pins down what the role must actually deliver. Most of what we learn never makes it into a job description — and that's the part that decides the hire.
About
A specialist energy firm, by design.
Permanent and retained search across the energy transition — grid, renewables, nuclear and oil & gas. Built for the hires that are hardest to get right, delivered ahead of market timelines.
01 / Why
What a bad hire really costs.
A decade in recruitment taught us what a bad hire really costs — time, money, momentum. In energy, where a single grid or commissioning hire can move a project's critical path, it costs more. So we don't fill seats. We find the people who deliver in the role, vetted for capability and fit before any name reaches you. The harder the brief, the more we want it.
02 / How we run every search
Four moves, every brief.
Sourced from networks, not job boards.
The engineers and specialists who move energy projects rarely refresh listings. We reach them through relationships, referrals and warm market work — not adverts.
Vetted to a defensible standard.
Capability and fit, before any name reaches you. Every shortlist arrives with a written rationale you could hand to your board.
Closed, not just sourced.
We manage the offer through to a confident yes. Counter-offers, references, notice periods, start dates — handled, not hoped for.
03 / Commitments
Three things we stand behind.
90-day replacement guarantee.
If the hire doesn't hold, we re-run the search at no additional fee. Every permanent placement, every time.
Defensible shortlists.
Every name we send arrives with a written rationale — capability, fit, motivation. Nothing on the shortlist exists by accident.
Speed without shortcuts.
First names within 48 hours; full shortlist within 14 days. The depth doesn't move; the timeline does.
