testimonial

Stephen is a very professional recruiter, always enthusiastic and present. He followed and helped me during all the recruiting process with clear information, and advice. Talking with him, you can feel he loves his job and his natural empathy with people is something that allows him to go further the standard recruiting process. He's an expert about the e-mobility market and really updated; we had more than a talk about that, and for the first time in my professional life I've been recruited by a person who really was able to deep analyze and evaluate my competencies.
Always present with updates at every recruiting step, I can say he really is the right person in the right place.

testimonial

David and the team at Hyperion have just completed an assignment for us, from which we would 100% recommend their services. We commissioned the work with them because our previous attempt to use a conventional agency in our sector (automotive) had been useless. They quickly understood the needs of the assignment and delivered above expectations, giving us a good choice of high quality and well matched candidates to select from. Thank you

Managing Director at ULEMCo Ltd

testimonial

I've used Hyperion on multiple searches and they've been great.

They sourced excellent candidates, brought great insights and were comfortable to work with us on the journey as we evolved our thinking in what we wanted. I think a lot of that stems from their strength and values as a cleantech focused company.

I'd happily work with them again.

testimonial

Ross 'cold' approached me and 2 months later I was in a new role as VP WW Sales at a scale-up company, that I absolutely love!

I wasn't actively looking for a new role and didn't know I was open to even look until Ross contacted me. This alone should be a testament to how good Ross is at connecting the right talent and employers together. Ross is well-researched with a consultative approach to provide great initial 'matchmaking', followed by an ability to create the right environment for exploratory conversations to blossom.

I enjoyed working with Ross through my recent recruitment process. My advice, if Ross contacts you, it is well worth a discussion, he may have something of significant interest!

David was providing timely and detailed update on the progress and we are very happy with the outcome.

I would like to thank David for establishing a very cordial, human and positive candidate relationship like a coach. David supported me in taking the decision through weekly call to evaluate if there is chemistry and alignment of personalities with the founders and I think the way you proceed is the right way. I would like to thank David for his continuous support.

David Beeston Hyperion supported the hiring of our Director of Policy & Markets Development. This was a very important hire for Piclo as we embarked on further expansion into international markets, and we needed an experienced industry specialist who could bring deep policy know-how coupled with a strategic commercial mindset.

David delivered a shortlist of high quality, diverse candidates and supported us each step of the way leading to the successful hire of Matthew (Billson). I would highly recommend using the Hyperion team for senior, strategic roles in a growing energy scale-up.

 

James Johnston

CEO @ Piclo

David and the team at Hyperion stand out in this industry as professional and highly experienced with the ability to understand an assignment from all angles, and manage the process with an exceptional degree of dedication. I have had approaches from a large number of people in the search and selection industry over many years with varying experiences, but highly recommend David and the team. Industry is changing rapidly as automotive and energy services evolve and David had a breadth of understanding that covers a wide range of industries, not just part of it. You quickly feel you have known him for a long time and he immediately proves he is trying to find the best outcome for all parties so I trusted his advice completely.

Matthew Billson

Director of Policy and Markets Strategy @ Piclo

testimonial

We worked with Hyperion to hire a world class Commercial Director at Arenko. This was an important strategic role for us to fill and getting the right person was imperative to accelerate the commercialisation of our technology and maintain our company culture. Hyperion carried out an extensive global search and presented a shortlist of highly qualified, screened candidates, from whom there was a clear stand out. The candidate was based in California, US, so the appointment came with a number of challenges including package negotiation and relocation. Hyperion supported us through the process diligently and calmly, navigating between the stakeholders to broker the deal. We are delighted with the results! Thank you to the team at Hyperion for their support, and we would certainly recommend them to others.

Senior Key Account Manager, Utility – Germany @ Canadian Solar EMEA

testimonial

I have worked with Wolfgang and his team for the recruitment of a number of senior roles both in the UK and Germany. I have always been impressed with the strength and depth of knowledge across the team whether recruiting for an MD role of a more specialist senior role. The number and quality of candidates has always been great enabling me to have an opportunity to meet a wide range of candidates ahead of selecting the final individuals who have subsequently joined the Horizon Group. I was particularly impressed with a recent video tool that Wolfgang and I used when setting out in detail the MD role for our German business - I thought this was an innovative way of presenting the role and my company.
