Storm4 in the Energy Optimization Ecosystem

Grid optimization is no longer a “nice-to-have.” As electrification accelerates, companies solving for flexibility, reliability, and control are under pressure to deliver. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re building software to support DERs or running live pilots with utilities, we help you build a team that keeps the grid ahead of the curve.

Storm4 has played an integral role in helping our company grow from a few people to more than 50 employees over the past 3 years. Storm4's reach in terms of candidates' pool spans across several disciplines and specializations, which really sets them apart from other recruiting firms that are often focused on specific/narrower areas. The overall experience is as close as it can be to having an in-house recruiting team within your own company.

Director of EngineeringEnergy Storage - Series B

After working with other agencies for 1.5 years to fill our vacant Lead Data Scientist role, Storm4 made it happen. James Parker-Mendez understood the brief, kept to the necessary timescales and introduced us to the successful candidate in just 2 months! Storm4 tops trumps in the calibre of candidates they have to offer, in the relentless coordination and engagement of all stakeholders and in the seamless process that led us to finally filling this role.

CTOAgTech - Series A

Storm4 really stood out amongst the other recruiting agencies we had been in talks with, both from their professionalism and overall connection and passion for the industry we represent. After attempting to internally find the perfect fit for this role which turned into being a three-month failure, in just over a month, Storm4 helped us to find our perfect candidate!

Senior Director of Operations & ComplianceSmart Grid - Seed

We engaged Storm4 for our VP of Sales role. They only sent candidates from within the EV space, they had a good velocity of suitable and qualified candidates throughout the process, they were rapid responders and great communicators. They are clearly looking to build genuine partnerships with their clients and are a professional outfit.

Chief of StaffEV Charging - Series A

We have been cooperating with Storm4 and Sebastiano Corra being our main point of contact for several months already. We loved how fast they provide candidates alongside listening to our feedback. The whole communication has been smooth and thorough, the (success) fee model fits very well with our fast-paced business and their flexibility to our changes has been great.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you source talent in such a competitive space?

We’ve built our network over thousands of outreach calls, referrals, and market research—not job boards. Our energy grid recruitment consultants run niche desks, so they know which profiles to target and how to sell your mission. Most candidates we place aren’t actively applying elsewhere.

Can you support hybrid or fully remote hiring?

Absolutely. We work with companies across the US hiring on-site, remote, or hybrid, with a strong understanding of how to position roles for candidate buy-in, especially when flexibility is non-negotiable.

What if I need multiple hires across functions?

No problem. Our smart grid staffing team are structured to support full hiring cycles, from your first energy data scientist to your VP of Sales. One point of contact. One supplier. Speed and quality across the board.
