Power for the people
Caroline Wake Recruitment Specialist Renewables & Power Generation
Previously IT recruiter in a mature and saturated industry utilising traditional recruitment methodology
• IT clients confident candidates can be found• Flexible approach with multiple training platforms and
skills were considered transferable
• Simple recruitment model works for IT
It doesn’t for Renewables

Reaching new heights
European wind industry sector created 33 new jobs everyday for the past 5
years
In 2020 this amount will double to 325,000 jobs
Sounds impressive, but how are we going to fill these positions?
![Page 16: Recruiting for the Carbon Generation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546ae6c2af795920668b5f03/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Riding the crest of a wave
The renewables sector is only going to grow
Therefore so will the problem
Wind technology is established
But it is very hard to source candidates
Global demand increasing
Effective employee selection and sound personal
development high priority
