Utilities Recruitment

We specialise in recruiting top talent for the utilities industry, ensuring our clients get the best candidates for their staffing needs.

What is the Utilities industry?

The Utility industry ranges across various types of sectors including water, gas, telecommunications, electricity and renewable energy. It’s an industry that consists of companies providing everyday amenities to both households and businesses. It continues to grow alongside the growth in the population and therefore requires a significant volume of employees in the UK. It does represent under 1% of the workforce in the country but provides essential services for the nation and economy. In recent years competition amongst utility suppliers has increased producing more jobs in the lesser-known brands. The utilities sector is not alone in implementing AI across its business to increase efficiency and be competitive.

How does the Utilities industry work with recruitment agencies like ours?

There are a broad range of skillsets employed by the sector, from engineers to customer service staff and marketing to software and data science employees. Contractors are particularly sourced from recruitment agencies as they have the ability to source available skillset for companies to deliver projects without the need to hire permanent staff, train them and wait for their impact. However permanent jobs are also popular for longer term positions as companies develop structure within its departments ensuring a secure workforce to deliver its services to customers. Specialist utility recruitment companies have the ability to help devise recruitment briefs and job descriptions to ensure the hiring of the highest quality of staff.

Why does the Utilities industry work with The Candidate?

The Candidate has worked with a large number of utilities providers across the UK, from waste management to water, gas providers to renewable energy. Since our formation in 2012, we have worked with new entrants to the market, advised them on the structure of their teams within marketing, data and analytics which has ensured a successful recruitment strategy. To complement this, we have provided the industry with contractors, who have remained in roles from 6-24 months, adding significant value to project delivery times. We’ll screen candidates effectively to ensure the highest quality shortlists and by assessing skills as well as experience, can identify a candidates likelihood for longevity in the role.
