As we move further into Q2, one thing is becoming very clear across the markets we support, companies are no longer just hiring for growth, they’re hiring to adapt.
Across AI, Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and Energy, we’re seeing businesses rethink team structures, technical priorities, and what talent they actually need to scale successfully in a rapidly changing market.
Artificial Intelligence continues to dominate conversations with both clients and candidates. Demand for high level Machine Learning Engineers, Research Engineers, and AI Infrastructure talent still heavily outweighs supply, and compensation across the market especially on the research side continues to climb fast.
One of the biggest areas we’ve focused on this year has been advisory. A lot of companies know they want to “build AI teams,” but they’re still figuring out what that actually means. We’ve spent a lot of time helping clients understand the landscape, define roles properly, benchmark compensation, and build teams that balance research, engineering, product, and scalability in the right way.
We’re also seeing a huge overlap emerge between our technology and energy markets. As AI infrastructure and data center growth continue to accelerate, demand is rising across power, grid modernization, environmental planning, compliance, and critical infrastructure. More and more, the worlds of technology and energy are becoming interconnected and we’re supporting both the direct operators and the consultancies helping build that infrastructure.
At Intelletec Energy, we’ve started the year strongly with new partnerships across power and infrastructure, supporting searches including Project Executive, Project Manager, and Director of Power Engineering mandates. We’re also excited to welcome LA based consultant Funmi to the team, who brings specialist EPC experience focused on Environmental, Permitting, and Compliance work, an area becoming increasingly important across energy and data center projects.
Alongside all of this, we’re continuing to invest heavily into our global delivery model and internal growth as we scale alongside our clients.
We started the year together in Palm Springs for our company kickoff, followed by an incentive trip to Honolulu, Hawaii. It was a great chance for the team to spend time together outside of work before what’s shaping up to be a very busy year ahead. As always, we’re incredibly grateful for the trust our clients place in us and excited for what’s ahead for both Intelletec and Intelletec Energy.
