What are your ambitions?

We don’t mind going first... We’re commercially minded, but we want to make an impact. We want brighter futures for all; our clients, our candidates, society and the environment. We want a world that’s safe, ethical, inclusive and sustainable. From time to time, people hear that and say, “That sounds like a nice ambition.” But what we do and what we stand for isn’t nice; it’s urgent and it’s important.

After all, sustainability and climate change are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Greta Thunberg and Sir David Attenborough are amplifying the message to the masses: The planet urgently needs us to change our ways. How are we going to fix it without the right people finding the right solutions?

Heightened governmental and consumer pressure means that businesses need to make big changes. So, more and more, organisations are requiring sustainability-minded employees, for every role, in each department and skill set.

We live our ambitions by specialising in finding those people – those who will go on to empower their organisations to meet net zero, cut carbon emissions, finance essential projects and build a brighter future for us all.

So, what about you - what are your ambitions?

If you’re ambitious to be both commercially successful, but also to create an inspiring legacy; you’re in the right place. Perhaps that’s not a place you thought a career in recruitment could take you – to a place where you can prosper and drive real, meaningful change – but at Acre, that’s our purpose.

Right now, we're experiencing incredible levels of growth - particularly in our Amsterdam office. As you'd expect in those circumstances, the volume of roles we're working on is growing exponentially. We need someone to help us deliver them. Someone who may not love business development, but who can source excellent candidates and deliver an exceptional recruitment process.

Does this sound like you? Let's tell you more about it.

Firstly, we're a global recruitment business operating in the sustainability and climate change sectors. This explains a little about why we're so busy – everyone is looking to tackle these problems head-on right now, but also need a recruitment partner that's well versed in these markets. Fortunately, we've been doing this a long time – 18 years to be exact – so we know what our clients are looking to achieve and the solutions that will get them there.



We're based out of London, Amsterdam and New York… but currently, we're all working from home. We can be flexible about that in the long term if that's your preference, so we're open to where you're based too.

Now, if you were to join us as a Recruitment Consultant, what might the role look like on the day to day?

  • Supporting the delivery requirements of key hires in your market: you'll capture an accurate understanding of client briefs and deliver them to best effect to win repeat and new business via referrals and feedback.

  • Engaging exceptional candidates: you'll keep your finger on the pulse in the candidate marketplace at all times, looking for creative and innovative ways to build your network, to identify individuals who are relevant to your client's search requirements and to engage candidates regularly so that they know to come to you for support in their current role or with finding their next

  • Successfully delivering recruitment processes in a way that'll make your clients want to tell their friends about: you'll project manage every aspect of the recruitment cycle from CV to completion, and everything in between. This includes qualifying candidates for a role, interview consultation, offer management and much more.
