CHOICE, NOT CHANCE.
Traditional recruitment sees a fraction of the market; traditional search struggles to scale. Our methodology provides full visibility and consistent assessment, so decisions are made from informed comparison, not chance.

Search Methodology:
Scaled Across the Entire Talent Market
Effective hiring principles haven’t changed; the ability to apply them at scale has.
Traditional recruitment can’t deliver full visibility; traditional search can’t scale efficiently.
Smart4 Energy removes both constraints.
Most models focus on speed and volume; true search focuses on visibility, comparison and choice – the challenge has always been scale.
We don’t recruit from a pool.
We choose from the market.
Decisions are based on informed comparison, not chance.

From Mapping to Delivery
- Market Mapping — immediate visibility of active/passive talent, competitors’ teams, availability and realistic options. We’ve already mapped the market by discipline, so we start with visibility, not guesswork.
- Engagement & Qualification — motivation, capability, cultural fit, mobility/timing, commercial expectations, turning data into insight.
- Screening & Scoring — consistent criteria for objective comparison, reduced bias and evidence-based decisions.
- Shortlisting — structured lists with rationale, motivations and market benchmarking, quality over quantity; choice over chance.
- Delivery & Ongoing Support — interviews, offers, onboarding and compliance/mobilisation; engaged until delivery is complete.

Technology-enabled,
Human-led
Seeing only part of the market increases risk; seeing the whole market improves outcomes – accuracy, time to hire, long term fit, retention, fewer rehires.
Applicable across blue collar/site, technical/engineering, project campaigns, corporate/functional, leadership/executive.
Same principles.
Different depth.
Technology gives visibility and scale; experience delivers judgement and insight – combined for informed, human and accountable decisions.
