What our clients say

Trusted by 1,715+ Energy & Infrastructure firms.

I have worked with Storm4 both as a candidate and as a hiring client, and the service has been exceptional from both perspectives. As a client, they took the time to understand exactly what we needed and introduced highly qualified candidates in a short timeframe. We completed the entire process in around two to three weeks. Storm4 handled everything with speed, professionalism and real skill, and they will be my first call the next time we need to hire.

Salem WirthVP of HR Vantem

Storm4 provided us with a strong range of candidates from both inside and outside our industry, bringing different levels of experience and capability into the process. This was particularly valuable because we had not hired for this type of role before. The team was responsive throughout and delivered everything within the agreed timelines.

Jeff IhnenCEO, Michaels Energy

Storm4 understood the profile we were looking for and quickly introduced a strong group of candidates. Their grasp of the target hire made the process efficient, and we were able to make the right appointment in a short amount of time.

Skylar SchoneCEO, Eco Battery

Working with Storm4 was an excellent experience. I had recently joined the company and inherited an active recruitment process, and the team quickly brought me up to speed on the role and the candidates involved. They kept our preferred candidate engaged and moved the process through to an accepted offer. Without their support, I doubt we would have closed this hard-to-fill role.

Kayla ZergerHR Manager, PowerFlex

We have partnered with Storm4 on several searches, and the experience has been excellent every time. The team takes the time to understand our hiring needs and the nuances of each role. Even when a search is challenging, they remain focused on finding strong, relevant candidates. Communication is consistently quick and clear, and we would happily work with Storm4 again.
