Technology advancements have had a significant impact on the energy industry and have created a lack of talent due to a majority of candidates lacking experience, training, and/or technical skills. Advances in smart grid, distributed generation, microgrids, and energy storage require a new talent skill-set. Now utilities need electrical engineers with an understanding of power and emerging tech; knowledgeable software-based programming technologists; and executives who can adapt to change – which are difficult to find, attract, and retain.

We’ll help you efficiently and effectively find the hard-to-hire senior leadership positions like technical managers, VPs, and directors that are needed to achieve your strategic objectives within the energy industry.

The HireBetter Difference
Meeting the energy industry advancements frequently requires changes in executive functions. That’s when HireBetter’s energy-focused executive recruitment services can prove exceptionally helpful. Our team uses novel, analytical sourcing methods to find passive, qualified candidates who not only excel technically in the energy sector but are also a cultural fit for your company.

The Perfect Person for the Role
“I have worked with HireBetter on three searches in the past year, two permanent hires and one contract-to-hire. From the beginning, the team at HireBetter has gone the extra mile, not only to find candidates that fit the technical requirements of the role, but also fit our culture and the other intangibles that are hard to describe. After each interview they did a thorough debrief in order for them to continue to level up the candidates until, in all three cases, they found the perfect person for the role. They have a deep understanding of the market and provide valuable research on salary benchmarks. I would highly recommend them – HireBetter is a pleasure to work with.”
