EnergeiaWorks

What EnergeiaWorks does

EnergeiaWorks is a privately-held executive search and staffing firm founded in 2010 by William Liuzza and headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, with a second office in Denver, Colorado opened in September 2019. The firm operates as a pure-play renewable energy recruiter, serving clean energy companies across North America through a remote-first staffing model that spans from California through Calgary to the U.S. East Coast, with 11-50 employees. Over more than 15 years of operation, EnergeiaWorks has built a proprietary database of 200,000+ candidates and served 300+ clean energy companies, while maintaining a newsletter subscriber base of 27,000+ and operating a public-facing career portal for job seekers.

The firm's core offering is fee-based executive search and permanent placement services delivered by specialist recruiters with deep renewable energy domain expertise. Its technology stack centers on the proprietary candidate database, supplemented by the Renewables UnWind industry networking association founded in 2016 to convene candidates and employers across multiple U.S. cities. The company has expanded its scope beyond traditional solar, wind, and storage into emerging renewables verticals including microgrids, virtual power plants (VPP), biofuels, hydrogen, and carbon capture, signaling intent to capture growth in adjacent clean energy segments.

EnergeiaWorks generates revenue through traditional contingency and retained executive search fees tied to successful placements, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm has reported multiple years of triple-digit growth — including 100% year-over-year growth in Q3 2021, cited as the third consecutive year of triple-digit growth — alongside 26% growth in 2019, geographic expansion (Denver, Calgary), and multiple senior recruiter additions. The business model is fundamentally services-led and relationship-driven, with limited disclosed technology differentiation and no evidence of AI/ML capabilities within the operating model.
