I Connect Project Professionals and Top Solar & Wind Energy Companies - German, Russian & English Speaking

The renewable project development hiring market right now? A blessing and a curse. Here’s why: The demand for project developers, managers, engineers, and other renewable professionals has skyrocketed. This is fantastic for candidates — they hold all the cards in this unbalanced market. As a relatively new and niche skillset, they’re in such high demand that many can ask for the moon. 🌕 But here’s the frustrating part: ❌ Ghosting after interviews. ❌ Dropping out during the offer stage. ❌ Negotiating compensation packages so far beyond reason that companies simply can’t compete. Sound familiar? Don’t get me wrong — there are amazing professionals out there who are honest, upfront, and genuinely committed to finding the right fit. Working with those candidates is a pleasure. So here’s my take: 💁 Candidates — yes, you’re in high demand, but remember, your reputation follows you. The best opportunities come from building relationships, not burning bridges. 🏢 Companies — to attract the best in this market, get creative. It’s not always about salary. Candidates value flexibility, meaningful projects, and a strong mission, too. 💬 What’s your experience? Have you faced similar challenges in hiring or job hunting in renewables?
