Market notes

The energy-transition build-out is driving sustained, multi-year demand across the country - at every level from senior IC engineering to executive leadership. The challenge is less candidate scarcity than the speed at which the sector is restructuring; today's brief is rarely the same as last quarter's brief from the same client.
