Powering clean energy platforms through

transformative

talent acquisition

the mission

Tapio exists to identify & solve

the problems our clean energy partners face on their hiring journey.

industry challenges

our focus is

problem driven

We've pinpointed five fundamental challenges that consistently prevent clean energy teams from securing exceptional talent:

1

Ambiguous employment value proposition

Businesses often fail to consistently articulate their mission, values and culture at every opportunity throughout the hiring process, resulting in a lack of clarity for potential candidates.

2

MISALIGNED POSITION TITLES, DESCRIPTION & COMPENSATION

The absence of clearly understanding the expectations of a potential hire considering their level and market trends, regularly hinders effective recruitment.

3

OUTDATED, UNREMARKABLE, CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE

Interview fatigue is a prevalent issue, stemming from a poorly managed process that demotivates and exhausts prospects. An exceptional candidate experience is crucial to drive offer acceptance rates.

4

UNCLEAR INTERVIEW ASSESSMENT RESPONSIBILITY

Businesses frequently miss the opportunity to thoroughly assess an individual's abilities by conducting 3-4 identical interviews, neglecting to leverage hiring managers' strengths and weaknesses throughout the process.

5

MISMANAGED CANDIDATE OFFER EXPECTATIONS

Losing candidates during the offer stage is often a consequence of entering negotiations without understanding the candidate's primary drivers and market demands, underscoring the importance of strategic offer management.

Dont just take

our word

We’ve used our fair share of executive search firms over the past 30 years. However, none have struck me quite like Tapio. Their unwavering dedication to value, professionalism, and transparency is unparalleled. When we entrusted them to staff a newly funded startup, they exceeded every expectation, setting a new benchmark in recruitment excellence. They successfully hired a team of 9 high-level industry experts inside 12 weeks.

Finding the right talent for our key positions is crucial. Tapio's expertise was evident when they helped us appoint a new CFO and structured finance team. Their ability to understand our unique needs and deliver candidates that not only fit our requirements but also our company culture was exceptional. The level of personalized attention and deep industry insight they provided was instrumental in shaping our leadership team for the future. Their approach was uniquely transparent. Not something we’ve experienced with previous search firms but certainly an expectation moving forward.

In the past, my experiences with recruitment companies have been unremarkable. This changed dramatically when we were introduced to the Tapio team by one of our partners. Tasked with forming a new project development team focused on utility-scale solar and energy storage. Tapio successfully filled all five key roles, including the crucial VP of Development role. What truly set Tapio apart was their deep market understanding. Each candidate they presented was so well-aligned with our needs that we requested interviews with every one of them. Their ability to consistently deliver such high-caliber talent not only saved us time but also invigorated our entire recruitment process. We’re beyond delighted with the work they’ve done.

Throughout my career in banking, I've interacted with numerous executive search firms, but my experience with Tapio stands out. As a candidate placed into a pivotal role with a start-up, I was thoroughly impressed by their industry knowledge and personalized approach. Ajal and Sofia, in particular, demonstrated a level of expertise and understanding of the clean energy sector that was truly remarkable. Their guidance and insight (including interview coaching) throughout the recruitment process were invaluable, making my transition smooth and successful.
