Everyone talks about ‘building brand identity,’ but what about creating a legacy through people—the right people who drive sustainable growth and innovation?

As CEO & Founder of Axia Recruitment, I’ve made it my mission to be more than a recruiter. We are growth partners, helping GreenTech, renewable energy, and sustainability companies build the teams they need to scale. From recruitment and labour hire to onboarding, our focus is on securing specialist talent that fuels your success and the transition to a greener future.

In my 15+ years in recruitment, I’ve seen:

- Companies struggling to find GreenTech talent to meet ambitious sustainability goals.
- Skilled professionals undervalued & disconnected from the right opportunities.
- Organisations wasting time & resources due to ineffective hiring & retention strategies.
- A surge in ESG, renewables & carbon management hiring—but few recruiters who truly understand the space.

A recent client transformation:
“We were overwhelmed by the challenge of hiring top sustainability talent to scale our GreenTech division. Every search led to roadblocks—until we partnered with Axia Recruitment.”

After partnering with us:
“Axia became the strategic growth partner we needed. Their deep expertise, network, and structured approach transformed our hiring process. Lara and her team helped us define workforce needs, identify skill gaps, and secure top talent—faster than we imagined. We now have a hiring roadmap that supports both immediate goals and long-term sustainability objectives. Axia is worth their weight in gold.”

How We Help GreenTech & Sustainability Companies Thrive

- Strategic hiring aligned with your business growth & sustainability goals.
- Talent gap analysis—identifying skills shortages & future workforce needs.
- Streamlined recruitment & onboarding for seamless talent integration.
- Long-term talent partnerships to improve retention & reduce hiring costs.
- Specialist recruitment solutions in renewables, carbon markets, ESG & energy storage.

THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE: We take care of the talent strategy—so you can focus on innovation, scaling projects & making a real impact.
