Account Manager, Data and Metering Services
Renz has spotted the potential in me and offered a job role that was a perfect match to my skills. Although he did not have the technical understanding of the job profile, his recruiter instinct was strong and undoubtedly correct at the end. He is very friendly and approachable that sets him apart from many recruiters that just after the commission. Without him, I very much doubt I would even look for another job opportunity. Thank you so much for putting me forward and finding me this job.”

Throughout the process, I received calls and emails from Renz giving me tips to help me prepare for the interviews and I was really impressed by the profile Utility People had sent to the employer and I got the job. The whole process from my first application to my first day at the new job took about 2 months and I was fully supported throughout this time by Utility People through calls and emails. I would really recommend Utility People and Renz to others looking for work.”

He went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. Renz provided me with an incredible service that is second to none. For a reliable, considerate service, with recruiters who genuinely care about your application, I would look no further than Renz’s Utility People. He is the best recruiter that I have ever met! He helped me get a job within few weeks of my first meeting with him. He provided me with resources that helped gain a greater insight into the area I wanted to go into, which in turn made the interview easier as I knew a lot about the job I was applying for. Renz provided me with his personal number which makes it easy for me to communicate with him and he only put me forward for roles that are suitable for me. Throughout the whole process, Renz supported me, called me to see how each stage of the interview went and was prompt in following up. This is all down to his professional and first class service. I am happily looking forward to my new job. Thank you so much Renz, I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to get into employment without a doubt!”
Accounts Analyst, DONG Energy
“Just a brief note to thank you for all your help in securing me my new job. From the outset you have conducted yourself professionally whilst adapting your behaviour enabling me to feel at ease. Had it not been for you talking to the hiring manager and ascertaining exactly what the role entailed, I would have withdrawn my application believing that the role was predominantly sales orientated. Glad I didn’t now. You are a real credit to your organisation and consequently I have now passed your details on to couple of friends of mine who too are looking for new opportunities.”

Renz was constantly supportive and a phone call was never too much trouble for him. Thank you for all of your hard work for getting me here, and for the gift which greeted me on my first day (the starter pack).”
Data Analyst, Optima
“I was contacted by Renz about a BDM role which usually I would have turned down as it wasn’t what I was looking for. Renz talked me through the role and persuaded me to go for the interview and thank goodness I did! Throughout the whole process Renz was very professional and kept me updated throughout. What I really liked about him was that he had every confidence in me and supported me though the whole process.”
BDM, Stark

The position I took was one that he suggested based on my CV and his meeting with Utility Team and, although its early days, it feels like the perfect fit! The extra effort he made in getting me ready for my interviews was great and he was always at hand when I needed a bit of advice or guidance. I would not think twice about recommending Renz to anyone else looking for a new role. You’re a star!”
Service Delivery Manager, Utility Team
“I was initially contacted by Renz at Utility People whilst I was on holiday in Greece. Without hesitation Renz dropped me an email outlining the key aspects & responsibilities of the role. However I initially rejected the role as I was being very particular in my next venture, and I felt it was lacking in 1 or 2 key areas from the job spec (upon first glance). When I returned to the UK Renz dropped me a call & politely described the role in more detail, ironing out my initial reservations & began to set up a telephone interview with his client, as he was confident from both parties that there could be good synergy. Without Renz being confident in the role, & the ability to match candidate with client, I never would of had the opportunity to speak to the client first hand over the phone, to discover that in actual fact it was a great match. The whole process from there on out was smooth & plain sailing. I would highly recommend Utility People, Renz & Linda to others looking for work within the Energy industry”.
Anonymous Candidate, Utility Team
“I have now worked with Renz on a couple of occasions and at every stage I have found the experience to be a pleasure. At every stage Renz has been supportive, available and always there to provide the information I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Renz to any other candidate who is looking for somebody to offer a professional and supportive service in helping them secure the right role. I would also recommend Renz to any business who is looking to hire as he takes the time to understand the requirements of the role and ensures his candidates are of the right calibre. I will not hesitate to use him in the future either when I am looking to recruit or if I am looking for a new opportunity”.
Anonymous Candidate, Utility Team

Relationship Manager, Zenergi
“Working with Renz was a delightful experience from the start of the process right up until the start of my new role.

He kept in regular contact with me and provided support, ensuring that I was prepared for the interview and knew my strengths. Having never worked with an agency before, or in the energy sector, I was highly impressed and reassured with the professionalism and support offered by Renz. Knowing that I had someone to help with any queries or worries just a quick phone call away certainly made the process a lot less stressful!”

TPI Channel Executive, Stark
“I want to say a huge thank you to Renz for all the support he has provided to me during this pandemic. I was one of many who lost their job due to the crisis and Renz was so enthusiastic, motivating and gave me hope. Renz secured me with a couple of interviews in March 2020 however the companies put their job recruitment on hold. Through regular contact and monitoring the market place, I am so happy to confirm that with the help of Renz, I have now secured a role back in Account Management for a great Energy Consultancy. It has been an interesting and stressful year for all during this pandemic and I just can’t thank Renz and his team enough.”
Account Manager, ZTP

I am in a happy place, all thanks to your professionalism, motivation, support and your belief in me. Continue the great work and stay blessed. Sincerely thank you so much Renz, God bless you.”
Account Coordinator, Brook Green Supply
“I worked with Renz in 2018 but I then decided to leave the energy industry. Renz actually maintained professional contact to see how I was getting on within my new role even though I was no longer his candidate. This in itself, just shows his character and genuine care for his clients and candidates. Last year, I realised I really wanted to get back to energy so I knew to reach out to Renz in the first instance before contacting anyone else because of how he handled my search previously. He knew right away where I would fit in well and he has now successfully placed me with a client who tick every box for me. Thank you so much to Renz. I know I will be with this company for years to come but should I ever want to search again in the far future, I know I will be reaching out to Renz once again without hesitation.”
Account Manager, Energy Brokerage
“Renz was, without doubt the best recruiter I have dealt with over the last decade. His communications were always to the point, punctual and informative and allowed me to make correct choices. I would recommend him to any candidate for providing the feedback required in a timely manner and for ensuring that I was well-prepared before meeting any potential employer.”

Everyone knows you in my professional circle. Wishing you much continued success. Many thanks again Renz I will keep in touch for sure.”

“I was contacted by Renz at Utility people and what a great call it was. Renz introduced himself and his role at the company. He was friendly and very easy to speak to. Renz took a real interest in my career options and what he thought was a good move for my career. When finding a potential job opportunity Renz was amazing through the whole process.

Operations Supplier Account Support, Stark
“After becoming somewhat disillusioned with the recruitment process (including agencies) during lockdown I found Renz’s approach a refreshing change. He was very pragmatic and honest about the opportunity, ensuring that I was a good fit for the company – making sure I felt comfortable before moving forward. He kept me updated on the progress of my application as well providing helpful guidance for the interviews. It felt like just about the right amount of support I need to get the job.”
Energy Trader, Energy Consultancy
“Renz had paid particular attention to my skill set and experience and managed to match me with my perfect job. I simply changed my profile on Linked In, when I was made redundant and Renz approached me within the week and we agreed that I was suitable for a Business Development Manager role, which he put me forward for. I was kept informed of the situation throughout the interview process which was all carried out on Zoom, which was unusual, however Renz put my mind at rest and assured me that this is the normal protocol. He obviously only works with reputable businesses hence the company I have secured a position with are very professional and easy to get along with. I would not hesitate to recommend Renz to any business’s looking to recruit or candidates searching for work.”
Business Development Manager, Energy Consultancy
“Renz contacted me out the blue about a position I wasn’t aware of. Three weeks later I was excitedly beginning my career in energy. He kept in contact with me making sure everything was going well and gave me information and tips to make sure I had the best chance at success in the interviews. Renz has been fantastic on behalf of Utility People and I would highly recommend him. Without him I would still be searching for “that” job but now I can finally get my career going.”
Systems Operator, Flexitricity
“Renz contacted me after finding my CV/LinkedIn and saw me as a perfect match for a role with an Energy Consultancy, not only was there a need for someone who had previous energy industry experience, working with large datasets etc, but a need to start immediately which I was in the position to do. Looking at the timeline of recruitment, within my first contact with Renz he had an interview arranged for me which was the next day, keeping me informed at all times, I was interviewed the next day, face to face the day after and in role 4 days after. Although my experience and my interview got me the role, arguably it was down to Renz too, to say that Renz has incredible matching skills is an understatement, in addition he is very professional and very supportive. I would recommend speaking with Renz if you are looking for work in the industry, I have been in role for about 2 months now and I am thoroughly enjoying it, building my own channel and team already and directing a business data plan to future proof us, I would also recommend Renz to assist you in recruitment if your business is struggling to find the right match.”
Lead Data Analyst, Energy Consultancy
“I was contacted by Renz after updating my CV online. He was working on a job vacancy that was perfect for me, to be honest I wasn’t really looking. After reading the job spec I was able to see this was great opportunity. I agreed to be put forward. Renz was prompt in his responses and was able to give me pretty much immediate feedback on my interviews. I have now secured the position and am due to start next month. I want to thank Renz for his support, he clearly has an eye for pairing the right candidate to the role.”
Data and Recovery Team Manager, Carbon and Energy Management Solutions Company
“The experience with Utility People was a pleasure. My recruiter Renz, was professional and proactive throughout the whole process, from the preparation to interview and chasing up key information.

He kept me updated throughout the whole process and never left me not knowing, as well as making sure I was very prepared for my interview.

“I have been in the acquaintance of Renz since joining the industry and have always kept in touch as and when roles popped up as I gained experience. I received an email/message/call from Renz with job vacancies which matched my skills, experience and ambitions perfectly during the Autumn of 21. It was amazing to know that Renz had kept me in mind and remembered me for roles as from experience no other recruiting consultancy had ever done that! That is what makes Utility People stand out. Renz kept me very up to date during the interview process and I can’t thank him enough for matching me to a company that have the same ambitions and values as me. A massive thank you for helping me develop my career!”

I would have no hesitation recommending Renz to anyone looking for a new job.”
Relationship Manager
“I had the pleasure to work with Renz securing a new job opportunity. I really enjoyed the recruitment process from the first interview until the job offer. Renz was introduced to me by a friend. When we spoke initially, he took the time to understand my experiences and expectations to move into a new position. Before each interview, he gave me a precise and clear list of tasks I had to do to prepare myself in advance, focusing on my strengths and how to make my weaknesses positive. He provided support and kept in regular contact with me. I have no hesitation to recommend Renz to any businesses or candidates.”
