Who they are

Exergy Power Systems (a spinout of the University of Tokyo) specialises in advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) to help large-scale power consumers and grid operators. 

The situation

Exergy Power Systems needed Chroma's help recruiting from the early stages of their UK expansion.

Chroma's approach

Chroma launched a targeted recruitment campaign designed to reach both active and passive candidates, enabling them to deliver a focused shortlist of highly qualified professionals with relevant experience in power generation and renewable energy.

Chroma managed the full recruitment lifecycle, helping Exergy secure their top choices. Chroma proposed an initial temp-to-perm solution to provide additional flexibility during the early stages of Exergy's UK expansion.

The UK team for Exergy was built from the ground up as if it were a start-up.

The outcome

Due to Exergy's growth (with Chroma's help), they have gone on to place several additional key hires, including:

• PLC Automation Engineer
• Software Engineer
• Engineering Manager
• Sales Manager
• Senior Mechanical Engineer
• Project Manager
• Electrical Design Engineer
• IT Architect

Beyond recruitment, Chroma has provided a wide range of strategic services, including consulting on benefits packages, benchmarking salary data, advising on industry norms, and providing insights into the local competitors.
