Experience Delivering World-class Executive Leadership Talent:
Executive Leadership Needed as Renewable Energy Firms Tackle Challenging Times
written by Dawn Dzurilla
Gaia Human Capital Consultants serve as an ideal executive search partner with Cleantech VC/PE firms to secure world-class, senior-executive management talent for early to mid-stage to late-stage companies worldwide. We have been retained and successfully completed CEO and various "C-Level" executive search assignments for cleantech and renewable firms.
The Clean Energy Industries' Quest for World-Class Executive Leadership It is a lot of work to attract, evaluate and recruit world-class talent! Cleantech company boards and investors are obviously most concerned about the quality and experience of the executive management teams. Often they spend an incredible amount of time recruiting the world-class talent that their organization or investment aspires to attract.
|
Requirements for World-Class Management Teams Several competencies are required to drive emerging energy technology companies to the next level. Proven visionary leaders must have a multifaceted skill-set, big, strategic vision and a demonstrated capacity for leadership, capable of inspiring investors, other leaders and members of any organization. |
Assembling the Right Management Team and often from elsewhere There exists a finite executive and professional talent pool within the entire global cleantech and renewable industry and, therefore world-class executive talent often needs to be found and recruited from several other industries. |
Capacity to Tap Talent from Other Industries:
Gaia Human Capital Consultants has significant capacity to source and tap talent from several industries including utilities, traditional energy, high-tech, communications and from other emerging and established industry markets. As prominent executive search consultants in the cleantech & renewable industry, we most effectively attract the best and brightest executives and entrepreneurs throughout the world and from many other industries.
Psychometric Candidate
Testing:
Gaia Human Capital Consultants provides clients technically accurate assessment techniques proven to minimize the risk and cost of hiring the wrong executive (mis-hire). The average cost of mis-hiring a candidate is estimated to be fifteen times base salary. Mis-promoting internally is almost as costly as mis-hiring an external candidate.
Psychometric testing seeks to eliminate "executive candidate risk" and clearly distinguish their investment and organization's desire to secure world-class talent.
