Candidate Journey
We support purpose-driven individuals looking to build a career in the energy transition.
Getting to Know You
We start by getting to know you: your experience, goals, values and what truly matters in your next role. Whether it is a conversation about culture, career trajectory or flexibility, we take the time to understand the full picture. Once we have aligned on what you are looking for we will introduce opportunities that genuinely match not just on paper but in purpose. Leveraging our deep market knowledge and relationships we often have access to roles you will not find elsewhere ensuring a purposeful fit from the outset.
Navigating the Interview Process
Once you are engaged in a process we provide insight into the company, role and team that goes well beyond the job description. You will receive a detailed candidate briefing pack and honest transparent advice on what to expect. We work closely with hiring teams to shape compelling narratives and help you stand out. From initial conversations to final stages we guide you through each step with structured feedback, coaching and preparation. You will know exactly what timelines, expectations and decision making processes lie ahead. If the fit is not quite right we will share constructive feedback and remain in touch for future opportunities.
Securing the Offer & Ongoing Partnership
When things move forward we will guide you through the offer stage with care and support. From salary and benefits to relocation and notice period planning we help manage the details and keep everything on track. We act as your advocate in negotiations and support you through resignation and onboarding ensuring a smooth confident transition into your new role. Our relationship does not end once you have signed the contract. We check in after you have started, offer support as you settle in and remain a sounding board as your career evolves. Many people we place go on to become clients, collaborators or repeat candidates and we are proud to support those journeys over the long term.
"Brightsmith’s cleantech focus and “people-centric, purpose-driven” search philosophy translated into a tightly curated process that felt tailored to me from day one. In a matter of weeks they secured introductions to a exciting role with Tritium, coached me through every round, and ultimately helped me step into the CEO role—a result that out-paced every timeline I’d set for myself.
I received prompt updates from Josh, candidate feedback, and thoughtful preparation before each meeting; the team operated more like trusted advisers than intermediaries.
Six months on, both the board and I agree the cultural and strategic alignment is spot-on, thanks to Brightsmith’s rigorous assessment of my background against Tritium’s mission.
From first call through post-placement follow-ups, Brightsmith & Josh embodied the relationship-driven approach they promise. I recommend them without reservation to any executive—or company—seeking best-in-class talent solutions in the energy-transition space."
"I highly recommend Matt Elliott for his exceptional professionalism, dedication, and expertise in talent acquisition. As someone he successfully placed in a Chief Estimator role at TruGrid Power, I can confidently say that his skills and commitment set me apart in the recruitment industry.
Matt demonstrated outstanding qualities. He understood my skills, career goals, and the company’s culture, ensuring a perfect match.
He kept me informed at every stage, providing clear guidance and support.
From resume refinement to interview prep, he streamlined the process and helped me secure the role quickly.
Thanks to Matt, I am now thriving in a position that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. His ability to connect top talent with great opportunities makes him an invaluable asset to any organization."
"Joe spent time getting to know me on an initial call, walked through several opportunities with me that he was working on, and was very thoughtful about who he put my profile in front of. He connected me with Inspiration Mobility for a sales role, and supported me when the role changed over the course of my interviews.
I appreciated how communicative and thorough he was throughout the interview and hiring process. I am happy to recommend Joe and his colleagues at Brightsmith to any job seeker in the EV charging space or to companies looking for a recruiter in this industry."
