Why green energy is a booming industry for recruiters #podcast #recruitmentmentorspodcast

Renewable energy, it isn't a sector or a desk, it's a whole industry. Well, what were the signals that you saw there that made you go, let's double down on that? One was economic. That flatline period that I spoke about within solar and wind, that was because it really relied on, as an industry, government subsidies at that time. And there was a lot of contention around whether or not governments were going to back it as an alternative to fossil fuels. But they did. And that drove some activity within the marketplace. But then there was a shift in the market that meant that actually those projects became viable without the subsidies. So all of a sudden, all of those businesses that had to get the government subsidies for their projects in order to build solar and wind farms didn't need that anymore. They could make a profit on it through just doing it off their own back. So there was obviously a huge sort of race and investment into, into that market.
