I believe it has. When hiring metrics are the lifeblood of your business, hyper-tracking comes with the territory.

Renewable energy hiring in Q4 of 2018 remains extremely strong. I’m a big proponent of metrics to drive performance of our team. Of the 10 metrics I track monthly, 7 of them in October grew by 100% over September’s figures. We broke our single month record for new searches within our existing customer base and […]

Just as I’ve just completed my follow-ups from the largest solar conference in the US, I’m planning my meetings for the most prominent wind energy conference in Canada. Busy time of year!

In our industry that means construction season picks up for solar and wind projects across North America. We’ve already seen an uptick in field operation positions. If you’re thinking about […]
