Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered—find the information you need quickly.

We recruit across the full renewable energy, environmental, water, waste and sustainability lifecycle. That includes technical and engineering roles, technicians and field-based teams, HSE and compliance professionals, environmental and sustainability specialists, and project and operational staff.

Yes. For niche, senior or business-critical roles we use a more targeted, search-led approach. We combine sector insight, market mapping and discreet outreach to identify and engage the right specialists, then use our PULSE framework to assess and shortlist them carefully.

We’re based in Scotland and support employers nationwide. Many of our projects are in Scotland and the north of England, but we also work with clients across the wider UK where there’s a need for sector-experienced talent

Retained search gives your vacancy priority attention and a dedicated consultant. It enables deeper market mapping, consistent outreach and regular progress updates, which is particularly useful for senior, sensitive or highly specialised roles

Timeframes vary depending on the role, location and your internal process. Because we work with an always-on PULSE talent pipeline, we can often move faster than a purely reactive search, especially where we already know suitable candidates in your area of the market.

We regularly work with candidates who relocate within the UK or travel for project work. We can discuss typical assignment patterns, rotation expectations and mobilisations with candidates, helping you set clear expectations and supporting a smooth start on site.

Staying in touch with candidates between assignments helps keep them informed and interested in relevant opportunities. This reduces drop-outs, supports smoother offer stages and helps you maintain a good reputation as an employer in a competitive market.

PULSE is our structured delivery framework for recruitment. It helps us plan each search, bring together your requirements and our market insight, maintain a live view of relevant candidates and screen carefully before shortlisting. For employers, that means clearer communication, stronger shortlists and more confident hiring decisions.

Yes. We can work with clients who have in-house HR or talent teams and use us as a specialist partner for environmental and renewable energy roles. We can align with your existing process, provide market insight and manage sourcing and shortlisting while your team focuses on interviews and internal approvals.

There is no separate fee for PULSE – it underpins how we deliver all of our recruitment work. Our fees are based on the type of hiring model you choose (permanent, retained, or talent partner) and the level of the roles. We’ll agree on a clear fee structure with you before we start.

We offer three main options:

  • Permanent Recruitment for long-term hires
  • Retained Search for senior, niche or business-critical roles
  • PULSE Talent Partner for ongoing or higher-volume hiring over time

We’ll help you choose the model that best fits your hiring plans and budget.

Yes. We work with organisations operating multiple sites or project locations. Using our PULSE framework, we can build and manage talent pipelines for different locations and disciplines, helping you plan ahead and stay in control of future hiring needs.
