I’m pleased to share that I’ve been nominated for a Fin-Erth Climate award. This list honors the top 101 women in business and climate globally — and most importantly, the women whose sometimes behind-the-scenes contributions can be overlooked. I’m proud to be the CEO and Co-Founder of a business focused on ensuring climate solutions have the talent they need to succeed, and honored to be recognized for this effort. And of course, I’m so grateful to my Sea Change team for putting in the hard work that makes it all possible. #finerthawards #womeninclimate #talentadvisory #talentacquisition

Recruiting for Climate Tech is broken. We’re rethinking early-stage talent acquisition to solve for founders’ biggest problems. 1. A lack of internal resources and infrastructure to run efficient hiring processes even when the candidate pipeline is available. 2. Insufficient talent market intelligence limits resource planning for each search. 3. Using scattered recruiting solutions which suck time and resources Early-stage companies need a deeply-embedded and committed partner that can bring a complete talent toolset that scales up and down during different phases of growth. Our industry expertise and market intelligence specific to early-stage energy, mobility, and infrastructure startups perfectly positions us to provide embedded recruiting support tailored to your needs. #executivesearch #talentadvisory #technicalsearch #professionalsearch #climatetech #cleantech

Congratulations to the Blue Bear Capital team for closing their third AI-for-energy fund! Blue Bear has been investing in AI-enabled technologies for energy-intensive industries since 2016 — long before its widespread popularization. I’d urge anyone looking for a thoughtful take on how to “differentiate buzzwords from real-world applications” at the nexus of AI and energy to read Ernst Theodor Sack’s interview with Latitude Media: https://lnkd.in/gakKHX5Z #AI #energy

Interesting take from Kevin Wheeler -- with growing implementation of AI tools in talent acquisition, what is the role of a great recruiter? We're certainly a way's off from "AI recruiters" being able to replace their human counterparts. In a space as nuanced as Climate Tech, I see a growing demand for specialized services from recruiters with deep sector experience who not only know how to use the tools, but layer in a profound understanding of the unique skills and candidate quality needed. Early-stage founders, usually distinctly bandwidth-constrained, need their recruiters to have the ability to quickly source top talent from their own trusted relationships AND use the newest tools to quickly identify and respond to inbound talent before they're interviewing elsewhere. AI alone isn't enough yet -- I see recruiters as the connective tissue, doing “facilitation” to cut through all of the “aggregation”.
