Renewable Energy

​I was contacted by WRS for a position at a startup Solar Energy company based in Israel but operating in the U.S. Communication, the interview process, and the overall experience was very easy and simple with WRS. Working with John, I always knew where I stood within the process and am happy that I was able to work with a company that puts their candidates first. I would recommend anyone interested in looking for qualified candidates give WRS an opportunity to fulfill their needs.

​At WRS the egos are left at the door and the team ethic and attitude comes to the fore in every interaction, we are all pulling in the same direction and that sense is palpable. Recruitment should be a meritocracy and this company exemplifies that. A good idea is a good idea and will be given due consideration regardless of who has it which means you are able to chat as openly with the company founders as you can with your peers. WRS trust their people, the autonomy you are afforded as an individual is extremely gratifying and the opportunity to progress is genuine and achievable.

​My career started with WRS in February 2019. During my first year as a recruitment consultant, I began with the mining team, before moving onto oil & gas, and then eventually moving into the trading and commodities division. This initial 12 months of working across multiple divisions taught me a lot about recruitment across the energies space, both permanent and contract. Having the chance to experience our different sectors, twinned with the learning and development opportunities that WRS provide, enabled me to gain the cross-sector knowledge that I still utilise today.The impact of Covid-19 across the energy and recruitment market in 2020, gave me the opportunity to diversify again and my focus moved to growing the renewable energy division at WRS. I have always had a keen interest in sustainability and doing my bit to support the efforts against climate change, so I embraced this new role. In a 360 capacity, my aim was to create and build relationships with new and existing clients across the renewable energy space, and work alongside our new recruits to build our global team. As our client relationships and roles began to grow, the team also grew, and we are now a fully functioning team of 8 experienced consultants who all contribute to the success of the division. Our project scope and recruitment services now span internationally across all key areas of the renewable energy industry, and we have continuing success in placing candidates across international roles. WRS provide consistent opportunities such as; learning and professional development courses where possible, and international travel for various conferences, events, and client meetings. Following on from my success, my role is due to change again this year. In July 2022 I will move into a focused Business Development capacity and take a step out of recruitment. I am excited for what the future holds in this role, and with the continued support of the WRS Senior Management Team the future growth of the renewable energy team.

​I began my career with WRS in September 2018, coming from a hospitality background this was a huge change for me. I was immediately made to feel welcome and that I could add value to the team. My first division was Mining which I loved, it was a great learning curve, and I was taught by the best in the business.After having a baby and post pandemic I returned to work at WRS to a different division, which was the rapidly growing market of Renewable Energy. Within this team I was given the opportunity to become a Managing Consultant / Team Lead. This role allows me to develop my leadership skills, training skills and gives me the opportunity to grow and support the team.Another part of my role includes being a member of the Junior Management Team and a Superuser of our CRM systems. WRS has given me the chance to grow, develop and become part of a business that I feel valued and happy to come to work every day. Not to mention the great incentives, holidays, group events and parties that we all get to attend. Not only do we reward and incentivise success, but we give you the tools make it possible.​

​I joined WRS in the Renewable Energy Division late in 2021. Working remotely from Italy was challenging in the beginning, but I was given a lot of support during that time and integrated easily into a fantastic team. I had no prior experience in recruitment when I first began working at WRS. Thanks to all the resources that I was provided, I was able to develop a solid understanding of the role, and I am eager to see where this experience will lead me in the future!

​“I started with WRS in 2020 with the Renewable Energy division, I have had the pleasure of watching the team grow and develop into the well-established division it is now. When I began my journey with WRS I had no experience in recruitment, they guided me through the fundamentals and offered me ample resources to learn and develop into the confident recruitment consultant I am today. WRS has been flexible to my own aspirations throughout my time with the business, whether supporting me on developing into a BD role, or moving to a new country and growing a team there. I am excited to see where my future at WRS takes me.”
