About this market

The deepest commodity market, where the edge is in the detail.

Crude and refined products remain the most liquid commodity markets, and the advantage sits with people who spot the arbitrage first: traders, schedulers and analysts who connect refinery margins, freight and blending economics across physical and paper desks.

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.

Market mapping and continuous candidate insight for a global investment bank growing its Oil & Products division.

View case studie

A global investment bank was growing its Oil & Products division and needed to hire high-calibre fundamental analysts. Previous hiring efforts had seen candidates withdraw from the process or fail to start, creating uncertainty around the available talent and the right profiles to target.
We mapped the market to identify analysts with the required skills, experience and geographic fit. Throughout the search, we maintained close dialogue with the client, sharing candidate motivations, skill gaps and real-time market intelligence. This enabled us to advise on search parameters and ensure the opportunity was aligned with what the market could realistically deliver.
