Where are you looking for your next hire? Is the perimeter you've set yourself excluding potential contributors from benefiting your company's development? It's a tough question, but one worth asking. As Dillon Cane from Two Blues Solar explains, looking outside the renewable energy sector for talent has actually increased the level of diversity and creativity in the company's decision making process. #lookoutside #talent #renewablesjobs

Wait, ANOTHER new renewable energy recruitment company jumping on the bandwagon? Well technically yes, we are a new agency. But are we new to this? Absolutely not. Gareth Clarke, our Director and Founder has been recruiting into renewable energy in Australia since 2012, back when 100KW rooftop PV was considered revolutionary. Since then he’s been through the highs and lows of policy and investment uncertainty including when our own government thought wind farm’s were ‘ugly’ and ‘a blight on the landscape’ (eerr, and how does an open pit coal mine look in comparison??). Now we're in a boom with an unprecedented skills shortage, the need for an experienced industry talent partner will be ever more necessary for organisations serious about sustainable growth. Our industry longevity means; 👉 We have a profound understanding of the industry and how it works. 👉 We have a deep domestic and international network of industry professionals. 👉 We truly understand what the different role types are, meaning we know what makes a good candidate. We don’t try and work with every company under the sun, we do our own due diligence on what makes a good employer; one that values our service, and we are confident they are a credible employer with a good culture we would be proud to represent. The past few months have been spent exploring what makes a tier one recruitment services company in today’s market, so have shaped our offering accordingly. This includes integrating video technology, cultural fit assessments and advanced sourcing and headhunting techniques that we use to best practice. Furthermore we always put our clients and candidates needs before our own, with transparency and honesty every step of the way. SO If you are an employer in the new energy space, looking for a fresh approach with a value driven, hardworking, dedicated recruitment team that will move heaven and earth to find you the best fit for your team, then get in touch we would love to hear from you.
