Targeted headhunting across energy, mobility, industrial and climate-software companies.
Infographic · Candidate evidence scorecard

How we separate real ClimateTech builders from keyword CVs

Every shortlisted candidate is assessed with FEMQ™ against the evidence below—so your interview time goes to people who have already done the work.

Strong signal

What we look for

  • Shipped software or devices used on real assets or sites
  • Worked with sensor, satellite, energy or emissions data
  • Quantified impact: kWh, tCO₂e, uptime, cost per site
We probe

What we verify in screening

  • Depth of domain science vs. general software skill
  • Experience bridging hardware, software and field teams
  • Startup fit: ambiguity, ownership and speed
Weak signal

What we do not accept on its own

  • Sustainability interest with no technical delivery
  • Model claims without validation on real data
  • Generic IoT exposure without production deployments

ClimateTech hiring guide

Why climate founders choose a specialist recruitment agency

A ClimateTech recruitment agency must understand that climate products meet the physical world. Grizmo Labs helps energy, mobility, carbon, industrial and sustainability companies recruit technical people who can turn complex climate challenges into scalable products—in India and globally.

Why ClimateTech hiring requires a specialist recruitment partner

Climate products combine software, hardware, scientific data and commercial deployment. Candidates must handle messy field data, hardware constraints and long sales cycles while still shipping quickly. We calibrate searches around the systems candidates have deployed and the impact they measured.

Energy, grid and storage software recruitment

Energy companies need engineers for energy-management systems, renewable asset monitoring, storage optimisation, demand response and trading platforms. We look for experience with time-series data, forecasting, control systems and reliable integrations with physical assets.

EV, battery and mobility talent

Electric mobility needs battery-management, charging, telematics and fleet-software engineers. We recruit candidates with experience in BMS, cell modelling, charger protocols such as OCPP, and connected-vehicle data.

Carbon accounting, MRV and climate data hiring

Carbon and climate-risk products depend on trustworthy data. We recruit data scientists and engineers experienced with emissions methodologies, measurement, reporting and verification, forecasting and climate-risk modelling.

Geospatial and remote-sensing engineering

Satellite and geospatial data power agriculture, forestry, infrastructure and carbon products. We hire GIS and remote-sensing engineers who work with raster and vector data, PostGIS, Earth Engine and machine learning on imagery.

IoT, embedded and hardware-adjacent engineering

Many climate products depend on meters, sensors, chargers and controllers. We recruit embedded, firmware and IoT engineers who build reliable, secure devices and connectivity that survive real field conditions.

ClimateTech CTO and leadership search

Climate leaders must scale teams across software, hardware and operations while working with utilities, OEMs and regulators. Our confidential executive search covers CTOs, VPs Engineering, Heads of Product and Heads of Data.
