Talent Acquisition Partner For The Clean Energy Transition 🌎 Trusted Advisor to VC-Backed Startups & Global Talent Strategist
Climate tech leaders: this one decision might be hurting your reputation.... I spoke to a colleague recently who was interviewing for a business development exec role with a growing climate tech startup. The startup had recently hired an external recruitment firm that was overseeing the interview process for this particular C-level role. It became clear to my colleague that this recruitment firm had ZERO climate tech industry experience, as evidenced by the quality and type of questions. As a result, without having even met the founder or other members of the C-level team, my colleague was beginning to question the judgment and decision-making skills of the executive team for having decided to partner with this recruitment company for a critical high visibility role. So, what does this all mean? Simply put, the partners you choose reflect directly on your company’s reputation. By entrusting your recruitment to a firm that lacks industry expertise, you risk sending the wrong message to potential candidates and undermining their confidence in your leadership. Climate tech is a niche field that requires a unique understanding of the market, technology, and mission-driven goals. Bringing in an inappropriate recruitment partner can be a costly misstep. If you’re ready to elevate your hiring strategy with a firm that knows the climate tech space inside and out, let’s talk. #ClimateTech #Energytransition #LeadershipHiring #CompanyReputation
