Building a recruitment engine that works long after we're gone

Startups don’t just compete for customers, they compete for talent. The kind who can build, scale, and turn big ideas into reality. In renewable energy, the best talent is being pulled into corporate giants with deeper pockets, flashier perks, and lots of name recognition.

Like many startups, Energyhouse had no solid recruitment foundation and relied heavily on agencies. Quick fixes with expensive fees weren’t enough – they needed a recruitment engine that could scale, attract top talent, and fuel long-term growth. Our plan was simple: take control. Build a hiring engine that converts, and stand up to the competition. And do it fast.

Why we're proud
We didn’t just help Energyhouse hire—we redefined how they attract, engage, and keep talent. We helped them build an employer brand that people actually want to work for. From agency reliance to an in-house recruitment engine that runs like clockwork, they now have full control over their hiring future. And honestly, it’s the kind of impact that makes Monday mornings feel a lot less like... Mondays.
