We place partnerships, BD, city ops, and leadership talent at EV charging, fleet, energy, storage, and mobility-tech companies across the UK and Europe.
Three principles that decide who we work with and how every search runs.
We only work with UK electrification-economy companies — EV charging, fleet, energy retail, storage, grid, and mobility-tech. That focus is deliberate. Every candidate we send is someone who actually understands the sector, not a generalist hoping for a fit.
Before recruiting, we ran operational businesses — car hire, parking, workshops, and digital marketing. We know what commercial and ops roles look like from the hiring manager's side of the desk, so intake calls are sharp and shortlists are tight.
First shortlist inside 10–14 days. Weekly written updates. Honest feedback if a role isn't briefed tightly enough to hire against. Rebate guaranteed through probation. No volume-game, no shotgun CVs.
I spent years running operational businesses — car hire, workshops, parking, digital marketing — before moving in-house as a hiring manager. I've sat through too many bad recruiter calls to start Kerbside as one.
This is a new firm. I'll say that openly, because it shapes how we work: I care more about the first ten placements than the fiftieth. You deal with me directly, not a delivery team. I turn down briefs I can't deliver against. And if a role isn't tight enough to hire on, I'll say so before I take your money.
If that's the recruiter you've been looking for — let's talk.
The companies building, powering, and operating the UK's transition to electric mobility. If you're in any of these lanes, we probably already know your competitors.
Charge point operators, installation networks, destination charging, kerbside and forecourt rollouts. Partnerships, BD, city ops, and field operations.
B2B and B2C fleet platforms, car clubs, subscription services. Fleet ops leads, supply chain, commercial, and GM hires.
Energy retailers with mobility products, smart-charging software, grid services, demand response. Partnerships, strategy, and commercial leadership.
Parking platforms, kerbside management, permit and enforcement tech. Partnerships with landlords, local authorities, and OEMs.
Battery storage, fleet electrification specialists, depot infrastructure, bus and HGV electrification. Commercial and operational leadership.
Automotive marketplaces, usage-based insurance, connected-vehicle data. Growth, BD, and operations at scaling consumer platforms.
We don't do technical engineering or board-level executive search. We place the people who run and grow the business.
The process is deliberately simple. Recruitment goes wrong when communication goes quiet — we don't let it.
A 30-minute structured call. Role, team, comp, must-haves, deal-breakers, interview process, timeline. Written brief back to you within 24 hours.
Targeted outreach to pre-qualified candidates in the sector — not a database dump. First shortlist of 3–5 inside 10–14 days.
Weekly written updates. Offer-stage coaching with the candidate. Help you structure the offer and navigate counter-offers.
Check-ins at week one, month one, and month three. Rebate guarantee through probation. A call if anything's off-track.
Fifteen minutes on the phone. We'll pressure-test the brief, tell you whether the role is realistically hireable, and explain exactly how we'd run the search.
We'll be in touch within one working day. If it's urgent, email contact@kerbsidetalent.com.
