We’ve placed national, regional and expatriate talent into some of the continent’s biggest energy projects.
Our discipline-specific recruitment teams support all facets of the energy mix, from upstream, midstream and LNG oil & gas projects, through to downstream operations, chemical plants, and traditional power generation & renewable energy facilities, including sourcing personnel for hydrogen and carbon capture and reduction technologies.
As the scope of Renewable Energy initiatives continues to grow across the continent, we’ve supplied talent to some of Europe’s biggest solar parks and wind farms, both on and offshore, and are a proud member of Renewables UK. Our Zurich office serves as our Life Science hub, where we support companies across the Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices, Biotechnology and Quality Assurances sectors.

We have a comprehensive office network across the continent with extensive market reach. Our offices are led and managed by experts in the nuances of local market legislation, compliance requirements, and market trends.

Optimise your workforce programme
Payroll
Our payroll function provides outstanding and compliant payroll services to an internationally mobile contractor workforce consisting of over 25,000 people, working in more than 70 countries.

Employer of Record Services
If you want to expand your global presence, but don’t want to go through the lengthy process of setting up new entities, you need a reliable Employer of Record partner.
We have offices in over 45 countries and decades of experience in international expansion; we can help you to hire employees quickly, compliantly and with minimal risk.
Compliance
We will help businesses to regain compliance in their hiring activity. We will never allow someone to start work at your company without ensuring they are set up compliantly and in a position to pay the right tax as required by local authorities.
From transitioning contractors from other workforce suppliers across to our payroll, to auditing the work permit and visa needs of current workforces, and ensuring all parties can evidence a proper payroll paperwork trail, we have plenty of experience in delivering peace of mind to the businesses we partner with.
Consolidation
We have a dedicated team of vendor management and contingent workforce specialists experienced in the challenges of mitigating an evolving and ever-changing engineering landscape.

Assignee Mobilisation
Getting staff to an energy project in a remote location can be challenging and legally complex, especially when dealing with an expatriate workforce containing many different nationalities.

Executive Search
The right leader can dramatically alter your company’s growth and future innovation. A company’s culture is largely driven from the top down; hiring a new, critical member of your Board therefore is a pivotal and potentially risky time. Leaders must possess agility, courage and the tenacity to address complex management challenges that prevent companies from moving forward, whilst keeping stakeholders onside with shared corporate vision and values.
Leveraging our global talent pool, we’ll find C-Suite personnel with shared responsibility and purpose to innovate your Board and secure your succession planning.
