Candidate Testimonials
We focus on building long-term partnerships rooted in trust, transparency and impact
At Brightsmith, people are always at the centre of what we do. Whether we are supporting a business in building leadership teams through energy executive search or guiding an individual to their next opportunity in cleantech recruitment, our focus is on creating meaningful connections that drive the global energy transition.
The words below come directly from candidates who have worked with us. Their experiences reflect our approach as trusted cleantech recruiters and highlight the value we bring to every journey.
I highly recommend Brightsmith for their exceptional professionalism, dedication, and expertise in talent acquisition. As someone they successfully placed in a Chief Estimator role at TruGrid Power, I can confidently say that their skills and commitment set me apart in the recruitment industry. Brightsmith demonstrated outstanding qualities. They understood my skills, career goals, and the company’s culture, ensuring a perfect match. They kept me informed at every stage, providing clear guidance and support. From resume refinement to interview prep, they streamlined the process and helped me secure the role quickly. Thanks to Brightsmith, I am now thriving in a position that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. Their ability to connect top talent with great opportunities makes them an invaluable asset to any organization.
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.
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.
A key differentiator with Brightsmith compared to most recruiters I have come across is their actual deep sector & industry knowledge and understanding of the skillset within the energy and infrastructure space. They have clearly worked with multiple senior executives over the years and have developed a deep understanding of what good looks like in building a business plan for a senior role.
