Sustainability hiring has grown fast. But a lot of businesses are still getting it wrong, writing job specs that are too broad, hiring without knowing where sustainability fits in their organisation, and then wondering why it isn't working.
In this episode, FuturePlus CEO Alex Smith talks to Sustainability Executive Poppy Clarke, who spent two and a half years recruiting in the climate tech space before making the move to FuturePlus. Poppy brings a rare outside-in perspective on what businesses actually need when it comes to sustainability talent, and where the gaps are.
They discuss the rise of specialised sustainability roles, the commercial communication skills that technical experts often lack, and why the first question isn't whether to hire but where sustainability needs to sit in your business.
