Numbers That Do the Talking
76 permanent placements, one departure
Over four years with a long-standing EPC partner, seventy-six permanent placements, with only one departure across the entire relationship.
Six years of contractor continuity
A contractor base that has stayed with us for six years — because the work is good and consistent, not because of IR35 workarounds.
Fifteen-plus years of relationships
Industry relationships built over fifteen years, not a database bought in last quarter.
Ninety-nine per cent network-led
The overwhelming majority of placements come through People in Power’s own network and referrals, not advertising.
If You Don’t Work With Us, You’re a Target
Our network runs deep enough that the people we place are usually the people other companies are trying to poach. If you are not working with us, there is a good chance one of your best people already is on someone else’s radar.
Contractor Continuity, Not IR35 Workarounds
Contractors stay with People in Power for years at a time. That continuity comes from consistent, well-run work and a fair process, not from structuring engagements to sidestep IR35.
Framework and Certification-Ready
Framework access depends on certification as much as competence. SSE, for example, will not consider a candidate for framework-approved work without the right authorised access certifications already held. We resource against that requirement from the outset, so candidates are ready to work from day one rather than six months into onboarding.
Strategic Advisory for Growth and Investment
Beyond individual placements, we advise EPCs on organisational structure ahead of private equity investment, and headhunt senior hires specifically to strengthen a business before an acquisition process begins.
Frequently Asked Question
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or schedule a free consultation with our team of experts.
What makes People in Power different from a typical recruitment agency?
A close CV-to-placement ratio, deep technical understanding of transmission and distribution, and a network built over fifteen-plus years — not volume CV matching.
Do you only place permanent roles?
No. People in Power supports both permanent placements and a long-standing contractor base.
Can People in Power advise on team structure, not just individual hires?
Yes — including strategic advisory work for EPCs preparing for private equity investment or acquisition.
