For employers
The energy transition is stuck in the queue. We find the people who move it.
Grid, renewables and energy specialists — sourced through networks, not job boards, and screened by people who know the difference between a CV and a hire. Send us the role; the first names land inside 48 hours.
How we engage
One operating standard. Three ways to engage.
From a single critical hire to a cluster of roles across a programme — permanent search, worked to the same standard underneath every model.
NextForceEngage
Best for: a business-critical hire, or a cluster of roles you can't afford to get wrong. An engagement fee secures a dedicated pipeline, a weekly cadence, and a market-mapped search that reaches the specialists who never see a job board.
Permanent and retained search across the energy transition. Whether it's one hire or a whole programme, the quality of the work stays the same — you simply choose the speed and level of commitment that fits.
How we run every search
Four moves. No pipeline theatre.

Interview
Vetted to a defensible standard — capability and fit, evidenced in writing, before any name reaches you.

Closed, not just sourced. We manage the offer through to a confident yes.
Common questions
Before you brief us.
The questions we get most from energy hiring managers.
Which markets do you deliver in?
We work across global energy markets — including the UK, Europe, the Gulf and the US. Sourcing runs across time zones, so your shortlist is being built while other firms' recruiters sleep.
How does your fee model work?
Three ways to engage: contingent for speed, retained for the business-critical and multi-role searches, and executive search for board and C-suite. Tell us what matters most on this hire — speed, certainty, discretion, or all three — and we'll shape the engagement around it.
Do you work on exclusivity?
Not by default. We earn the work on every brief. Where exclusivity makes sense (retained mandates, hard-to-fill confidential searches), we agree it up front with a clear scope.
What's your replacement guarantee?
Every permanent placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn't hold, we re-run the search at no additional fee.
What if the brief turns out to be wrong?
We surface that early. A deep brief takes 45 minutes; halfway through the search we recalibrate openly if the market is telling us something different. The fix is cheaper than the wrong hire.
Can you take multiple roles at once?
Yes — that's where NextForceEngage works hardest. A dedicated pipeline, weekly cadence, and one operating standard across a cluster of energy hires.
