Before partnering with Brightsmith we were facing challenges with several hard to fill roles and a large volume of vacancies. From the outset Brightsmith stood out, not just for their tailored recruitment strategies but for their deep understanding of our industry and hiring challenges. They quickly grasped the nuances of what we needed and presented only high quality, well vetted and briefed candidates. The team are great to work with and communication is always seamless, consistently transparent and responsive.
We were looking for a recruitment partner who took the time to understand our business and make sure candidates were of a high quality and Brightsmith have delivered on both fronts. They have helped us to fill roles quickly who have been well matched both technically and culturally. They clearly have a strong grasp on the cleantech and energy transition space and we look forward to continuing our working relationship going forward.

Working with the Brightsmith team, led by Alan Sutherland, has been a transformative experience. Their job placement service started with extensive interviews of the internal hiring team to ensure alignment on the position and the prioritization of criteria embodied by successful candidates. The caliber of talent they introduced through the recruitment process was remarkable, with each candidate showcasing the skills, depth and breadth of experience that we desperately needed.
The quality of communication from Alan and his team has been outstanding. They demonstrated transparency, support, and professionalism throughout the entire process. The candidates introduced were of exceptional quality, so much so that we had 5 finalists that we would have considered. We had originally contracted for 1 position but based on the quality of the candidates, we actually made the decision to extend 2 offers, both of whom accepted and are currently employed at FuelCell Energy as Senior Product Managers. Overall, my experience working with Brightsmith has been very positive. Consistency across the team and their dedication to excellence were evident in every interaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Brightsmith’s services to any organization in the alternative energy space seeking top-tier talent and unparalleled support.

The Brightsmith team very quickly understood our needs as an organization, and the key elements for the role. One of the key elements that stuck out for me, was their ability to deliver results through the execution of their structured process. As an operations leader, I put a high regard for execution capability, and results.

Retaining Brightsmith is probably the best decision we’ve made this year – it’s been a complete game changer for us as a company. Not only are they phenomenal at what they do but also a genuine pleasure to work with. I feel like Brightsmith has gone above and beyond in understanding who we are as a company, not only what we do, but also our DNA.
They consistently introduce candidates that are a deep fit for Revalue, our mission, culture and values, as well as fitting the profiles, and sometimes challenging our thinking on what this means. We trust Brightsmith with our most critical hires, including our C-suite positions, for which they have drawn on talent from across the globe, covering all sectors, whilst ensuring extremely relevant leadership capabilities and transferable skills are front and centre.

From the outset, Brightsmith impressed us by taking the time to actually understand our needs, get to know the culture of the company and then execute a thoughtful, strategic approach to hiring. They didn’t just send us resumes, they took the time to deliver high-calibre candidates who were genuinely aligned with our business values and goals. The service has been exceptional, professional, responsive, and refreshingly easy to work with.
Thanks to Brightsmith, we’ve made some absolutely stellar additions to WATT, some real stars that have helped drive the companies success. They’ve become a trusted partner, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any organization seeking a high-quality, collaborative recruitment experience.
Caine Finnerty, CEO, WATT
Brightsmith has been our partner of choice for most of our key hires in recent times. Not only do they deeply understand the market and the skills and attributes required to succeed in it, their approach to recruitment strongly aligns with our own values. From a deep commitment to sourcing truly diverse talent pools, to a focus on excellent candidate experience, they've become an extension of our own talent team and I'm proud to have them represent Abatable in the job market.
The team works hard to embed themselves as much as possible into our business to truly think like us and understand what we value in candidates' beyond years of experience and big logos on CVs; this allows them to be very effective at vetting candidates before presenting to us only a highly relevant shortlist of candidates. They also take their role as one of close advisors, providing thoughtful perspectives on the hiring process or when and how to expand the top of the funnel in different directions. Thank you Brightsmith team!
