Sea Change’s Post

Some of the most common problems founders and investors approach me with relate to the opaqueness of the talent markets for climate. Although there is great work being done to organically draw talent to the climate space, not much attention has been placed on the work of facilitating, finding and hiring great talent. To bring the visibility needed, we’ve created a Talent Report specifically for our start-up and investor partners. Do you know: How long it will take to hire a VP of Product What jobs your competitors are hiring for Where to find top talent (geographically, industry, etc.) This report presents a snapshot view of what real hiring trends look like at real companies. As a recruiter and talent partner, much of this information seems obvious when you spend all day everyday talking to founders and investors, but it is far from obvious to those stuck on the other side of the "knowledge gap". Based on those conversations, I've seen the value of this data and the impact it has on providing the transparency needed across the talent market.

Something often overlooked in bringing in new talent to our space is that we're not just competing against ourselves in the ecosystem; we're also competing with many other industries. However you describe it, clean tech, smart buildings, building automation, and climate tech aren't the only industries short on talent; most industries are either in or heading into a talent crisis. And that's why we need to do a better job of telling our story so that we (royal we) can attract new individuals to join the space. If we don't, the scenario in 10 years could be that there's no one to do the work. Which is crazy. And I don't think technology is the 'silver bullet'. We're working through some ideas at LMC to change this, but we'll need a collective industry effort to do so... More soon. #climatetech #smartbuildings #buildingautomation

Are you struggling with scaling your cleantech start-up or scale-up? Over the past 18 months, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with numerous cleantech companies, guiding them as they expand their teams and navigate the complexities of rapid growth. Whether they’ve just secured funding and are preparing for market launch or are transforming ground-breaking ideas into scalable solutions, one critical challenge remains constant—and it’s not just about innovation. The real challenge is scaling effectively. Innovation alone isn’t enough; you need the right team to transform those innovations into successful, market-ready solutions. A crucial component of scaling is building a balanced team, with the right mix of technical and non-technical talent. Technical expertise drives innovation, making cleantech solutions viable and scalable. But it’s the non-technical team members—in marketing, operations, sales, and finance—who bring these innovations to market and ensure long-term success. For early-stage companies, achieving this balance is essential: - Strategic Hiring: Early technical hires should focus on prototyping and MVP development, while non-technical roles should be introduced as the product nears market readiness. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: From the start, encourage teams to work together. A blend of technical and non-technical perspectives leads to more comprehensive and effective solutions. - Adaptability: In this fast-evolving sector, prioritize team members who can wear multiple hats and adapt to changing needs. At Gibson Watts, we’ve supported numerous companies in overcoming these challenges, striking the right balance of skills and securing top talent along the way. If you’re facing similar hurdles and would like to explore how Gibson Watts can support your growth, I’d love to help. Send me an email, and let’s discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals. #CleanTech #StartupGrowth #TeamBuilding #Innovation #Sustainability

Business Owners: Does Your Passion Cloud Your Hiring Judgment? ☁️ As business owners, our companies often feel like our babies—nurtured from concept to reality. But just like with parenting, passion and personal attachment can sometimes get in the way of good decision-making. I’ve been there myself, especially when hiring talent... In the early days, I assumed that everyone shared my excitement for a startup environment with meetings around the kitchen table. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. Passion is essential, but it’s crucial to step back and objectively assess what top candidates are actually looking for. Running a professional, well-structured recruitment process from day one can make all the difference in attracting and retaining the right talent. Have you had similar business experiences where your attachment might have clouded your judgment?   #NetZeroTalent #CleanTech #Renewables #RenewableEnergy
