Hiring Trends

Since June of 2020, EnergeiaWorks has experienced a surge in the demand for services at a scale never before seen in company history. We doubled our staff to keep up with this demand. We were even off-the-charts busy when the solar industry was reeling from major supply chain and shipping disruptions caused by Auxin Solar […]

Final Outlook of the Year! This is our last newsletter of 2022, and I’ll be sharing some of our observations, milestones, and challenges in talent acquisition within renewable energy from the last twelve months. But first, THANK YOU to our customers and job-seekers for supporting EnergeiaWorks in our 12th year of business. And, of course, […]

Uncertainty can paralyze a market and this is exactly what happened to the solar industry in 2022.

This certainty has spiked growth in residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar, onshore & offshore wind, and battery energy […]

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has reported that global jobs in renewable energy increased from 11.5 million to 12 million in 2020. IRENA has also forecasted that by 2050, there will be 43 million jobs in renewable energy! If you’d like to read the report in detail, here it is. The UN Climate Change Conference […]

The renewable energy industry job reports are published annually, so we’ll have to wait until Q1 for the data to answer this question with any accuracy.  But according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4 million Americans quit their jobs in July 2021 (and 11.5 million more did so from April to June).  It’s reported […]

August on my mind. Eleven years ago, uncertain of my future and curious about renewable energy, I took a leap of faith and submitted an application to the State of New Jersey incorporating a business called EnergeiaWorks.  I set out to build a top recruiting agency in the emerging, niche field of renewable energy, an […]

As the active candidate pool is shrinking, the timeline to hire is being elongated. In previous years, EnergeiaWorks estimated time-to-hire was 8 weeks, and […]
