Who We Are.

About Us.
We launched CET in 2020 with a clear mission: to make hiring feel less transactional and more like a true collaboration. With roots in Houston, Aberdeen, and Dubai, we bring a global perspective to the search process, helping businesses across the US, UK, and EMEA find exceptional talent to drive their success. Whether it’s filling a senior leadership position or supporting you with the tools to scale your team for growth, we’re here to make the process seamless, and, surprisingly, enjoyable.
As the pace of technological change continues to accelerate, we believe it’s more important than ever to amplify the human connection.
Relationships, chemistry, and the magic of people coming together—that’s what makes great hires and, ultimately, great companies. After all, connection isn’t just part of our name; it’s at the heart of everything we do.
We have no grand plans to grow CET into a global empire—we’re happy staying boutique and keeping it personal. But when it comes to your ambitions, we’re all in! Whether you’re looking to scale your business or build the future of your industry, we’re here to help you make it happen.
Our Values.
At CET, our promise is simple: sustainability, compatibility, and accountability guide every step of how we work. For us, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about creating long-lasting impact for businesses, people, and the planet.
Compatibility is at the heart of what we do, ensuring we connect the right people to the right roles while also partnering with like-minded clients who share our values.
And accountability? That’s our guarantee to deliver a seamless, transparent, and rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Driving Innovation Through Inclusion .
Diversity isn’t just about doing what’s right—it’s about building stronger, more innovative businesses. Research shows that companies with diverse teams are significantly more likely to outperform their peers, not just in profitability but in creativity, employee engagement, and sustainable growth.
At Connect Energy Talent (CET), we don’t just recruit with diversity in mind; we actively create opportunities that help underrepresented talent thrive.
With every search mandate, we draw on our extensive network, targeted research, and partnerships with organisations dedicated to advancing diversity. We focus on identifying exceptional talent from underrepresented groups, including:
Gender, ethnicity, race, and nationality
Disability and veteran status
LGBTQ+ communities
Neurodiverse individuals
Socioeconomic and generational diversity
By understanding the unique value each candidate brings, we ensure they are matched with opportunities where they can succeed and enrich teams with diverse perspectives.
Resources to Inspire Action .
Whether Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is central to your strategy or an emerging priority, we’re here to support meaningful, measurable progress. At CET, we believe that knowledge is a powerful driver of change. That’s why we’ve curated a selection of up-to-date resources to guide your DEI efforts:
- Diversio’s DEI Recruiting Strategy: Discover practical insights for integrating DEI into your recruitment practices.
