Working with Catherine was a huge pleasure. As a female international Master's student with visa requirement wanting to break into the clean energy space, there were a lot of barriers I did not foresee. But Catherine immediately understood my needs in terms of visa, industry transition and culture and was so helpful in exploring different options. She has so much expertise within the space and genuinely cares for career growth of everyone she works with. We met in person together over coffee and she even connected me with other professionals within the space that she has worked with previously to cultivate a like-minded community of females within the space. She helped with exploration of different opportunities, tips on how to improve during the interview process and contract negotiation. It is inspiring what she is doing for female leadership and equal opportunities within the booming renewable / clean energy space. Thank you Catherine!
Catherine was wonderful to work with in my latest career move. Unlike many recruiters, she was not pushy, and knew what specific renewable energy roles would be a good fit and logical next step for me based on my experience. Throughout the whole interview process, she was very professional and supportive, and constantly checked in with me. I would certainly work with Catherine again, and would encourage renewable energy companies to work with Catherine to address their recruitment needs. She is very well connected in the renewables space and very knowledgeable of the sector. I would also recommend the podcast that she hosts, which features valuable insight from various renewable energy executives. Thanks again Catherine!
Working with Catherine was a true pleasure. I sincerely appreciated her positive attitude, consistent communication, and ability to provide thorough, yet concise feedback. This foundation provided a tremendously positive experience in working with her.
Working with Catherine was a dream. I’ve worked with many recruiters before and have never felt like someone was truly “in my corner” like Catherine was. Awesome communicator, wonderful advocate, and really tries to find the “right” fit. Ended up with an awesome position with a dream company! Grateful to have met and worked with Catherine!
Catherine was tremendous to work with in my job search. She was very responsive and supportive through the entire process. The process of finding the right opportunity has lots of ups and downs and she was there with me the whole way.
Catherine was a delight to work with! I first connected with her during my final semester of grad school through a friend. She gave me some great advice around resume building and networking in the energy space. She also helped me find my current role at Coho several months after our first conversation. She not only has strong networks in the green energy space but is also highly skilled at connecting the best candidates to the right role. She was also extremely supportive through the interview process. Could not recommend her more!
Having not had a change in employment for the past decade, working with recruiters was new to me. Over the past year (+/-) many recruiters contacted me via LinkedIn and naturally some were better than others, however Catherine clearly stood out and operates on another level. Throughout the several rounds of interviews, reference checks, and job offer negotiations she would continually check in to keep me updated and excited about the opportunity, while also managing expectations. Even after accepting the offer she reached out on the day I was planning to give notice to my former employer and wished me luck on the eve of my first day. Her efforts were greatly appreciated in not only helping me land the job, but holding my hand throughout the entire process. #whitegloveservice
I had the pleasure of working with Catherine as I looked to advance within the energy space. I was most impressed by the network of contacts and ability to align my skillset and desire with current & potential job openings. Catherine’s advice and guidance throughout the interview and offer process was supportive and comforting. I was happy and grateful to have worked with Catherine, thank you!
I had the tremendous pleasure of working with Catherine in securing my latest new position as Vice President of Marketing. At the very outset of our acquaintance, She simultaneously provided valuable and thorough insight and commendations about her client, while identifying how my skills and experience precisely synced with their position description. Having been in the energy management industry for nearly two decades, it was refreshing to learn of Catherine’s, and her company, Dylan Green's dedicated focus on job placement, specifically in clean energy technologies. A shared passion for diversity and a clean energy future were critical to both myself and to my future employer. I couldn't be happier with the results of working with Catherine! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a role in supporting the energy transition!
Catherine is incredibly good at what she does. While on the hunt for my next position, she reached out to inform me about an open position with a leading organization in the solar industry. She had not only done her research on how my skillset would align with the duties of the job, but she also made sure that the role aligned with my future career goals. To top it off, the position offered competitive pay - something she strongly supports and strives for in making sure women receive equitable wages for equitable work.
Catherine helped me get my first job in renewable energy. She was absolutely fantastic! She helped me through the process, gave me negotiating tips, and followed up with me regularly during the whole thing. Absolutely loved working with her!
Catherine is a great resource and I would happily recommend her to anyone in my network looking to work in the industry. She was not only incredibly helpful but also supportive in navigating the process, from the introductory call to the offer. She was very transparent with me right from the outset, something that I appreciated after working with quite a few recruiters in the past. I am incredibly happy with my new role and could not have done it without Catherine's help!
Catherine was a pleasure to work with in the recruitment process. From her initial contact through interviews and the offer stage, she was transparent, helpful, and communicative throughout the entire process while always being cognizant of my time. I would highly recommend working with Catherine if you are seeking a new role or as an employer - truly the best recruitment experience I’ve had thus far in my career. It honestly felt almost too good to be true at times!
I would highly recommend working with Catherine. I worked with Catherine to find a job post-grad school. In our first call, she listened carefully to me describing what I wanted out of a job, and immediately had some great suggestions for me. She checked in regularly on my progress (both with me and with the potential employer) and gave me helpful guidance about different paths. She even took the time to meet up with me in person to weigh my options. Catherine also adds such a nice personal touch-- she texted me (months later) to congratulate me on my first day at my new job (that she found). The job she helped me find was something that I would never have found on my own, and it is such a perfect fit for me. Catherine is great at what she does, and I've since referred several of my friends to work with her!
I would recommend Catherine to everyone who’s seeking a career in the renewable world. Catherine gave me a call the next day after I submitted my application; she diligently spent time getting to know me, my background and interests. She is so different from the other recruiters I have talked with as she truly sees potential in candidates, and does not use a cookie cutter model to evaluate one’s qualities. Throughout the interviewing process, she advocated strongly for me. For a very first time, I felt that I was being represented and advocated as a woman in this industry. I ended up finding a great opportunity at a great organization. None of this would be possible without Catherine’s dedication, belief and vision!
I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with Catherine. She is communicative, clear, honest and really cares about the people she works with. It is evident that Catherine takes the time to place the right people in the perfect spot. Thanks for everything Catherine!
Catherine is extremely responsive and was an invaluable help in my search for an executive role. She gave clear and concise advice in how to highlight my skills in a competitive market. Catherine has deep expertise in the solar and renewable energy sector, and she would be my go-to for staffing needs.
Catherine was instrumental in transitioning me from a fossil-fuel generation company to a growing renewable developer. I spoke with several other recruiters, but almost none compared to her level of guidance, preparedness, and professionalism. At every step of the way, she provided uncommon insight and remained very responsive. She truly cared about ensuring I found a spot I would thrive and succeed. I felt she vetted me thoroughly at the outset and pointed out areas I could improve. I believe her advice helped tremendously. I went into each interview well prepared, eager to share my experiences and learn more about my potential colleagues. She is honest, caring, knowledgeable, and impressively thorough. I do not hesitate in recommending Catherine to anyone looking for a highly qualified representative.

Catherine is extremely knowledgeable in the renewables space, and matched me with an organization that aligns with both my personal and professional growth goals. I felt well prepared going into the interview stage, and Catherine made the process enjoyable and seamless from start to finish. I so appreciate the time and effort she committed to my search. Thank you again, Catherine!
Catherine is an excellent and streamlined communicator. She helped me transition from the Automotive sector to a space that allows me to exercise my love for both automotive and clean energy. She was with me through the entire recruitment process and ensured I had what I needed to succeed. Catherine really helped me get to my dream job and for this I am grateful to have worked with her. When working with Catherine you are sure to succeed in your needs!
Catherine helped me move from Oil and Gas/Chemicals to the renewable energy industry. She helped me translate and show the similarities in forecasting, modeling, long range planning, capital expenditures, and other areas such as access to capital and M&A. Personally, I think there are many ways professionals with my background can demonstrate their value in the renewable energy space. I am grateful to Catherine for helping me find a platform to demonstrate this! Her coaching and support were invaluable. The understanding of the industry and companies were impeccable. I highly recommend you work with her.
I have worked with Catherine for years and she is without doubt the most committed, knowledgeable, and effective recruitment professional I have ever worked with. In what can often seem like a crowded field of recruitment and talent acquisition, she stands out given the depth of her industry knowledge, the strength of her network, and the keen interest she takes in truly bettering the career of every individual she crosses paths with. If you've worked with Catherine, you understand how much importance she places on understanding your value system and interests, before she makes a single recommendation or introduction. If you haven't yet worked with Catherine, you absolutely should!
Catherine was great to work with through the recruitment process. She was clear, transparent and communicated well. Her ability to communicate and build rapport rapidly made the process efficient and easy to go through. I was happy and grateful to have worked with Catherine!
Catherine is incredibly skilled at identifying opportunities and making the right connections. I worked with Catherine while exploring new career opportunities in the energy space. I had a sense of what I was looking for, but Catherine was able to help me narrow down the things that mattered most to me. Throughout the process of exploring different roles, I genuinely felt that Catherine was in my corner and had my best interests in mind. I ultimately found an amazing new position with Catherine's help. Weeks later, I'm still in awe of Catherine's effectiveness, skill and power! Thankful to have her in my network.
I worked with Catherine while looking for a new role in the renewable energy sector. I had never worked with a recruiter before, but she helped connect me to a position that was a better fit and had a more competitive salary, something that would have been tough to do I had gone it alone. Throughout the process, she tirelessly advocated on my behalf with my future employer and gave great advice on how to position myself strategically for success. I especially appreciated her focus on bringing more women into the field. I would highly recommend Catherine for anyone looking to make their next career move.
Catherine truly connects with you at an individual level and is always willing to selflessly help. It is this attribute that allows her to have such an amazing network of people that are so willing to help her back. Add her ability to quickly understand the inner workings of an industry and it is clear why Catherine is so incredible at her job.
Catherine and I connected in person a few months ago and instantly hit it off. We attended an event together in the DC area, and it was amazing to watch her network and interact with the other attendees. She is incredibly well-connected in the energy space, and shortly after meeting each attendee, she was able to find a company or individual that she and the attendee had in common. She brings those connections and that attention to detail to her approach to recruiting as well: Not long after meeting with me, she contacted me about an opening at Empower Energies, as she felt that the hiring manager and I would also hit it off. Sure enough, within a month I had a job offer in hand. Catherine was the ultimate professional during my interview and hiring process. She ensured that I was prepared for the interview by connecting me with other candidates she was working with who were in the solar space, and coached me on the appropriate research to undertake. She and I met post-interview to debrief and she made sure that anything I missed, I was able to recover via a follow-up email. She also expertly negotiated my offer, and kept me up-to-date when there was an unexpected delay. I can't recommend her and Dylan Green enough, and I am so pleased to have connected with her.
