"As the downstream and midstream portions of the energy value chain continue to become more competitive, our knowledge of the market and extensive network truly give our clients a competitive advantage."
The Energy Search team was established in 2001 and has gained a national reputation for completing hard-to-fill searches in the trading, midstream, and retail energy sectors. Our team of specialists stays on top of market trends and provides a truly consultative approach to help our clients navigate the ever-changing battle for top talent. We are proud of the fact that 90% of our business is with repeat clients. Our broad list of clients includes integrated energy players, global trading houses, marketers, hedge funds, retail energy, midstream, and refining companies, where we specialize in identifying top talent for the front, middle, and back-office, businesses development, engineering, sales, and operations.
While some of the commodities trading markets are seeing expansion, both from organic growth and new market entrants, other areas of the commodity markets are contracting. In the midstream markets, we are experiencing a shortage of talent, creating significant competition for the top candidates. Many of the candidates we are working with are receiving multiple offers, which requires our clients to take a more creative and strategic approach to their hiring process. As the midstream and downstream landscape is ever-evolving, we have assisted our clients in creating a competitive advantage for themselves by recruiting experienced talent on their behalf. We seek to be a competent partner for you in the talent-acquisition battle.
As the industry continues to evolve rapidly to achieve greater efficiency, the ability to attract and recruit the top performers is eminent in a company's ability to flourish. Companies that are successful in identifying, attracting, and keeping the best talent have an edge in this challenging market.
Truett Allen’s (Managing Partner, Energy Search team) style for engagement and commitment to results have been instrumental to success. RWR has presented many excellent individuals, two of which we hired this past year; and we continue to leverage their expertise to grow our talent.
Mark and his team have supported Pret US with a number of property assignments over the last several years. I’ve always been impressed with Marks professional and personal approach, his timely response and follow up, for this reason I have worked exclusively with him on all of our property assignments. The applicant quality I have seen from RWR is notably of a consistent high quality, and subsequently we have placed a number of property professionals in Pret, several who have now stepped up to take leadership positions with the business. I would have no hesitation in recommending working with Mark and his team across a broad range of property roles, he has delivered for Pret successfully, over and over again.
I have worked with Richard, Wayne & Roberts for over 25 years, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. I have worked with Shanna Finucane (Manager, Real Estate team) for the last 15 years. The levels of professionalism that she and RWR represent in the searches they conduct provide the highest quality candidates available in the market. As a result of their consistently high results, I continue to rely on RWR and Shanna's team to help me in (my) searches.
We have worked with Eric Holzer (Partner, Healthcare team) and Richard, Wayne and Roberts for four years without any disappointment from any member of my management team.
RWR has been a key partner in our talent acquisition strategy. Their team communicates professionally and has demonstrated consistent ability to identify strong, unique candidates.
