Renewable Energy Sector Talent Search Leadership Award

AP Executive Search: renewable recruitment


Madrid, February 07, 2024 – AP Executive Search was born out of the need to execute renewable projects and avoid unnecessary risks, by putting the best professionals at your disposal. Today, it stands as the leading Spanish company in recruitment for the renewable energy sector. “We offer selection services with offices in Madrid, Valencia, Santander, Rome, and Mexico City. We have filled positions with local staff in the USA, Africa, the Emirates, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and the rest of Europe, especially in Germany, France, England, and Poland. We specialize in technical, leadership, and executive profiles for all our clients’ departments. We advocate for the environment, sustainability, and well-being, thus, we understand projects purely focused on renewables as well as those in electric mobility, hydrogen, biogas, and storage“, says Alberto Pérez Ruano, who founded AP Executive Search in 2018 and is its CEO today.

Part of the AP Executive Search team consists of engineers with extensive experience in the development and construction of renewable projects, who, years ago, observed peaks in personnel demand and the resulting hiring challenges. “We have created a company where service is derived from our human and business objective: personal relationships. We fall in love with our clients’ projects, and we convey that excitement to the individuals who are about to change their lives. The role of human resources is fundamental, and having a selection partner who understands project timelines is essential, as it’s about swiftly and accurately incorporating profiles into roles.”

It is precisely this value of building personal relationships combined with technical market knowledge that truly sets AP Executive Search apart. “The ecosystem we have created internally and share with clients and candidates, and which we invite society to expand upon, is unique. When you establish a personal bond with someone, be it a client or candidate, there is no competition, only a magnificent commitment that is singular.” The founder and CEO adds, “these are beautiful words, but to achieve this, my team has been striving and training in the sector for years. We must continue to be the most specialized, to know the projects better than our clients, to continue technically validating candidates and only introducing them to companies where there is a genuine connection. Above all, we must continue to present our clients’ projects with this love and closeness to the right people. Without this approach, we will cease to build personal relationships. Presenting a candidate who doesn’t fit technically is not just a letdown for the client; it’s a disservice to the candidate, wasting their time. Failing to enamour them with a project because you’re not offering a challenge that addresses their concerns or implies professional growth is losing someone with whom you should have initiated a personal relationship and expanded the essence of AP Executive Search to society to become the world’s leading recruitment company.”

For now, they enjoy the Leadership Award in Talent Acquisition for the Renewable Energy Sector, but they continue to look towards the future. “Our plans are ambitious. We aim to be the company that improved the lives of all professionals in the sector at some point in their careers, and be the ‘go-to friend’ for it. As long as we maintain this clear idea, we will have a network of people that allows us to remain the standout company in selection, while others industrialize during search phases. We have positioned ourselves very well in other businesses such as electric mobility, storage, biogas, and biomethane. We must remain strong here. We have solidified Spain, Italy, and Mexico, and by year-end, we aim to make tangible progress in other countries.”

Thankfulness, by Alberto Pérez Ruano

Being called by a prestigious newspaper you’ve known since childhood and being awarded as the leading recruitment company in Spain fills my entire team with excitement, and personally myself. It’s refreshing to receive recognition from society because, in the office, we sometimes lose those feelings due to our strong commitment to clients and candidates: every event affects us. It’s a full commitment; we’re a team that literally gives everything we have. And since striving for improvement is in our blood, and our motto is “excellence in operations,” we sometimes lose sight of the great successes we’ve already achieved. This award, even though I’m the one receiving it, I want to thank it to my entire team. The team spirit we’ve achieved, the teamwork, and the company’s evolution in recent years are incredible. Each colleague lives and brings to life the idea I had when I founded the company. This is all thanks to them.
