Driving Offshore Wind Recruitment Forward

Alina joined Vallum just before Christmas, a time often seen as quiet in recruitment, but she found the opposite here:

“I joined two weeks before Christmas, which tends to be a slower period in terms of business. However, here it was completely different; everyone was buzzing. There was a lot of business happening.”

That high-energy start set the tone for what’s been an exciting and fast-paced first few weeks.

The Power of a Supportive Team Culture

What really stood out to Alina from day one was Vallum’s collaborative company culture and the motivational energy shared among teams:

“From day one, I’ve seen how motivated everyone is by each other to work hard. Because when you’re sitting next to a successful consultant or marketing team, you’re in an environment that allows you to work hard and deliver, which is great.”

She adds: “We understand that sometimes it’s easier to work together to make our desk, for example, more successful.”

Why Alina Chose Vallum

With a background in the maritime industry and a transition into recruitment five years ago, Alina had been keeping an eye on Vallum long before she joined:

“I used to work in the maritime industry, and I thought I should do something more salesy. I’ve been working in recruitment now for five years and was naturally seeing Vallum on LinkedIn through its exciting socials and from a competition point of view. You guys keep doing amazing business, and your reputation within the industry is very good, so I thought it would be good to be a part of it.”

Growth, Learning & Looking Global

Alina is enthusiastic about Vallum’s forward momentum and international ambitions:

“The growth is exciting as we can really see it happening. We just started the Graduate Academy, and the new starters are learning very quickly as they are being trained by our talented Head of Learning & Development, Matt.”

She continues: “Additionally, the growth in terms of expanding our presence is something to look forward to. For instance, the offices that we’re planning to open and the growth in different countries, even continents, helps us promote the fact that we are not just focused on the UK but can use our skills across the whole globe.”

Passion for Wind and the Future

Even in a sector that comes with its challenges, Alina’s passion for renewable energy recruitment, specifically wind, is undeniable:

“For now, I’m really excited to build my career and to be involved in the industry, because in all honesty, I’m obsessed with wind. I love offshore wind, I love what I do, and I love the industry so much.”

And her long-term vision? Well, it includes just the right balance of career success and lifestyle goals:

“However, overall, in terms of my future, I see myself driving a Range Rover, having nice Lululemon or Alo leggings on, and just having this Pilates boujee lifestyle.”

We must say that future sounds pretty fantastic. With only one month behind her, Alina has already made waves at Vallum. Her story is a testament to how industry passion, team culture, and growth opportunities create the foundation for long-term success.
