Our ServicesQuest Energy prides itself on innovative general recruitment, executive search consultancy services with dynamic assessment and talent centres. Quest Energy combines an in-depth understanding of the energy sector services with the commercial dynamism of the private sector.

Executive SearchOur services include:

Recruitment Expertise and MethodologyQuest Energy has over fourteen years combined experience in the provision of high level executive search services to a variety of Operators, EPC contractors and both Government and private sector clients. The correct utilisation of executive search enables organisations to attract individuals whom otherwise would not have been considering a career move, something which is imperative when there is a severely restricted supply of candidates that may be suitable for an opportunity.

ResearchThe initial identification of targeted individuals is critical. The directors of Quest Energy believe heavily in specific market expertise and the ability that this provides to a network within a defined market space. Our research is not “cold” but built on referrals and recommendations. Not only does this ensure you are able to target the right candidate but with initial discussions being “warm” it also massively increases the chance of a successful conversion of the candidate.

Below is detailed the process that Quest follow.

The successful attraction of senior industry figures or individuals with highly sought after skill sets requires an ability to manage the executive search process that is almost “second nature” and there can be no room for error. Every detail from the initial approach to the search, consultant’s interview process and methodology, to the management of the candidate through the client interview process is critical in achieving a successful hire. The approach of Quest Energy is that of attention to detail and persistence at every step of the process.

We provide an executive human resource partnership to a host of Operators and EPC Contractors across the Globe, our in depth technical knowledge, search expertise and deep network of contacts enables us to offer end-to-end and integrated resourcing solutions.

Headhunt ApproachThe initial “headhunt” approach is also critical in achieving the desired result. A discussion with a senior candidate cannot be “wasted” through the inexperience or poor ability of the search consultant. All initial headhunt calls within Quest Energy are handled by senior consultants / directors; and the preparation of each and every call is vital - candidates are only approached when two important elements are in place:

A clearly defined and succinct overview of the opportunity of “the client” is prepared for presentation to the candidate. Candidates will not be looking and must be presented with an opportunity that entices them to enter further discussion.

A strong reference on the candidate in question. At worst this will ensure that the candidate is of the right profile, at best it will provide a further understanding of the candidates underlying motivations and the “warmth” of contact that will surely gain the candidate’s interest.

InterviewsInterviews are imperative in building the interest level of the candidate and building an understanding of what it will take to move the candidate. A significant part of our interview process is given over to motivational/probing questions which are designed to help show whether a candidate will truthfully move and if so, for what.

Managing the ProcessManaging the candidate throughout the client interview process is where we view the work of a search consultant as only just starting. Keeping the client aware of a candidate’s views, dealing with misconceptions, ensuring the process keeps moving at a suitable pace and managing candidate expectations are all elements that must be taken care of. It is this attention to detail, which Quest Energy believes can be the difference between success and failure in achieving a key hire.

Brokering the Right Offer Brokering the package offering starts from the initial discussion with a candidate and search consultant. Expectations and understandings on both parties is a must with consent, reviewed and challenged throughout the process – waiting until the eleventh hour will not work. Again our experience of managing these situations time and again will be invaluable in maximising the chance of getting the right candidate.

Select and Motivate

Finding the right individual is the first step in filling the role. Our deep and trusting community and network of contacts enables us to gather information on their ability to carry out the job to the level you want and their ability to fit into the team, culture, environment and values you have built up.

Each one of the candidates is formally met on an individual basis with both personal and technical assessors. Each one of our interviews is tailored to the requirements for that specific position and client.

Attracting the Best PeopleFourteen years of successfully completing senior level mandates has given Quest Energy the expertise to help with any senior and board level recruitment campaign or manage the whole lifecycle for you, including finding the right professional and even the entire division or team.

The best of the best are very rarely looking for a new opportunity, the best opportunity needs to go looking for them. Our deep network of contacts within the Energy sector and our expertise in search and selection enables us to identify and attract the right individual who will encompass your beliefs, ethics, core values and culture.
