 I had a privilege to work together with Daniel on talent acquisition for about a year in marine industry. Daniel is proactive and productive expert on sourcing, finding and spotting the most suitable talents. He delivered what he promised, on a timely manner. His collaboration with the hiring managers was open, honest and efficient. I can recommend Daniel to any talent sourcing and acquisition role and project.

I was on the lookout for a job when Jim popped into my inbox… I put the phone down thinking “what a nice bloke”. The two jobs Jim found me were for a lot more a year than my salary at that time, with a position a step up the ladder with companies offering exactly what I was after: work/life balance, training and room for progression. I am now really happy (and excited) in my new role. So, if you’re thinking about a new job, seek Jim out, or if he slips into your inbox, don’t dismiss him. Message back sharpish. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough. I really can’t. Thanks Jim!

Hannah is a fantastic ally to have for anyone looking for a new role in sustainability-related sectors. She has a very hands-on, friendly and extremely supportive approach that takes all the stress out of applying for a job and tackling interviews and tasks. Her pre-interview briefings are extremely thorough and helpful and her excellent communication means that you’re never having to constantly chase for updates and information. I felt reassured throughout my time working with her and was delighted with a positive result.

I spoke to Jim from CleanTech Talent on several occasions as I have been trying to change my career and had made my CV available for various recruiters to find. From the point of someone looking for a new role, I would say I am impressed that he took a note of the type of career development I am aiming for and would only contact me if something was a match, and with high probability of proceeding to an interview. This is something very important for me as due to busy family life right now I have very little time available to search for opportunities. Businesses looking to work with CleanTech Talent will definitely benefit from quick, open and honest communication, and will be sure that any feedback will be provided back to the applicants in a timely manner.

I was on the lookout for a job when Jim popped into my inbox. I’m normally dubious of these people that message promising the earth and I’d usually give them short shrift. However, for whatever reason, I gave Jim my number and he gave me a call. He turned out to be a really likeable character and we chatted about life in general and what we were both up to. I put the phone down thinking “what a nice bloke”. Over the next few days we spoke several times and Jim helped me tailor my CV and covering email to target certain companies. I secured three interviews (one I found by myself) and was offered all three jobs. The two jobs Jim found me were for a lot more (6 grand!) a year than my salary at that time, with a position a step up the ladder with companies offering exactly what I was after: work/life balance, training and room for progression. I am now really happy (and excited) in my new role. So, if you’re thinking about a new job, seek Jim out, or if he slips into your inbox, don’t dismiss him. Message back sharpish. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough. I really can’t. Thanks Jim!

Daniel has helped me a lot throughout the recruiting process. I genuinely appreciate it as I had to deal with a visa application which added more complexity. Dan’s experience in recruiting gave me the needed peace of mind when I decided to go for it, I wholehartedly recommend him as a professional recruiter!
