About this market

A young market, growing faster than its talent pool.

Carbon allowances, renewable certificates and voluntary credits are moving from side desk to core strategy. Firms need people who understand both the regulation and the trade, fluent in schemes such as the EU ETS, UK ETS and California cap-and-trade, and in the power and gas markets around them.

Why clients hire us for power specifically.

Mapping across generation & trading

We track who's active on both the generation side and the trading floor, so we're never starting from zero.

Weather-literate network

Power trades on weather. Our network includes meteorologists and forecasting specialists most search firms overlook.

Renewables fluency

We place people equally comfortable trading a renewables-heavy book as a legacy thermal one.

Cross-asset quants who turned down the counteroffer

Motivation-led search and offer advisory for a hedge fund hiring quants across metals, gas and oil.

View case studie

A hedge fund was looking to hire cross-asset quants across metals, gas and oil. With these candidates in high demand, previous hires had accepted counteroffers and ultimately not joined the firm.
We identified the right talent and built a strong understanding of their motivations. Before offers were made, we advised the client on offer structure, positioning and process, helping minimise the risk of counteroffers. We also supported candidates throughout their resignation process, maintaining engagement through to joining.
