Questions, answered.
How we work with companies building power teams and the professionals who power them.
For companies
What kinds of roles do you recruit for?+
Specialized roles across the data center power lifecycle — interconnection, onsite generation, substations and transmission, utility and regulatory, powered land, construction and delivery, energy finance and critical operations.
How does a search start?+
Send us a short brief through the Request Talent page. We follow up to talk through the role, then share a search plan and what we’re seeing in the market.
Can searches be confidential?+
Yes. Many of our searches are confidential, and we only share client details with candidates when it’s appropriate.
Do you hire for single roles or whole teams?+
Both. We support individual senior hires as well as teams built from the ground up for new campuses or programs.
How long does a typical search take?+
Most searches produce a shortlist in three to five weeks and close within two to three months. Executive searches can take longer.
How are your fees structured?+
Most roles are contingency, so you pay only when you hire. Executive and confidential searches are typically retained. We’ll walk you through options during intake.
Which markets do you cover?+
We recruit nationwide, with deep networks in Northern Virginia, Texas, Phoenix, the Carolinas, Georgia and the Midwest.
Can you help benchmark compensation?+
Yes. We share current market ranges at the start of every search, and our salary guide covers ten of the most in-demand roles.
For candidates
Is there a cost to work with GridTal?+
No. Our clients pay for our services, never candidates.
Will you share my résumé without asking?+
Never. We only present your profile to a company after you’ve agreed.
I don’t see a matching role. Should I still apply?+
Yes. Many searches are never posted publicly. Submit a general profile and we’ll reach out when a fit opens.
Do I need data center experience?+
Not always. Many of our placements bring utility, generation or infrastructure experience into digital infrastructure.
What happens after I apply?+
A recruiter reviews every application. If there’s a fit, we’ll set up a call to learn more about your goals and share details about the role.
Will you help me prepare for interviews?+
Yes. We brief you on the company, the team and the interview process, and give honest feedback after each stage.
Can you help with offers and relocation?+
Yes. We help candidates understand offers, negotiate fairly and plan relocations when needed.
How do I update or delete my information?+
Email hello@gridtal.com and we’ll update or remove your details.
