Specialist recruiter in waste and recycling

Hiring a Portfolio Manager to manage our AD assets is never straightforward as the talent pool is limited and candidates need a unique blend of commercial & technical experience from the sector. These people are rarely applying directly to roles or available on job boards.

We’ve used Robert Adams several times over the years at Foresight; they always manage to find us the right candidates at the first time of asking. Strongly recommended.

Since I started my role as Head of Business Development in 2018, we’ve recruited several team members via Robert Adams.

They consistently find us bidding talent who understand the local authority waste market and are our ‘go to’ recruitment company when our other talent acquisition strategies don’t deliver.

We needed a candidate with a deep understanding of municipal waste collections procurement & contract management, and our usual channels weren’t reaching the right people.

We were recommended Robert Adams – they sent us a handful of relevant CVs; I really felt they understood the brief and had access to the talent we weren’t reaching. Nearly a year on, I couldn’t be happier with the appointment.

We needed a PM who could step straight into an active build programme, and Robert Adams found a candidate who could do exactly that.

We came to Robert Adams needing two Waste Procurement Project Managers for a major procurement and infrastructure programme, where waste industry knowledge & experience were essential.

Both candidates they put forward already had the right background, which meant we weren’t starting from scratch in terms of training and development. Six months on, both have settled in well and are adding value to the programme.

Robert Adams also recruited me for my role here at ELWA in 2023 and I’d certainly use Robert Adams again for any future job opportunities.

I’ve approached Bobby/Robert Adams when I’ve struggled to fill Portfolio/Asset Manager roles that require a unique blend of technical, commercial and bio-energy industry experience.

He’s consistently and quickly provided us with shortlists of the right talent and I always feel he understands the brief, leading to successful placements over the years.
