Feedback from last year’s hiring businesses

RWE Solar and Storage UK was delighted to have a presence at the recruitment zone of the London event in April and will again be represented at the Birmingham event in September. We were very impressed with the organisation and overall attendance at the event, and we had a steady flow of very good candidates who were interested in a fresh start in the industry. We saw a number of candidates who were instantly suitable for our business and have been in touch with them regarding ongoing opportunities. From an economic sense it is almost a no-brainer to us as just one hire from the day more than makes up for the outlay of having a presence in the recruitment zone. Would highly recommend.

Lee Harbin, Talent Acquisition Manager (UK and Ireland), RWE

Recruitment Zone at Solar & Storage Live is a fantastic concept and one that I’m delighted to support. For us to reach our ambitious renewable targets as a nation, it’s imperative that we attract talent into our industry. SSE Renewables sponsored the inaugural zone at the flagship Birmingham event in 2023 and it’s great to see the team build on that success and come back even bigger and better.

Chris Stewart, Brand and Marketing, SSE Renewables

We have exhibited twice at Recruitment Zone at Solar & Storage Live, both times were a great success. Attending these events has been highly beneficial, due to them being well-organised which attracts a diverse range of candidates. These events have provided us with opportunities to meet a wide array of individuals interested in entering the solar industry. Exhibiting at the Recruitment Zone has allowed us to network effectively, broaden our talent pool and work towards introducing more people to the solar industry.
