What we do

A specialist partner for water businesses at an inflection point, not another volume agency

Embedded partnership

I work inside your process, not alongside twelve other agencies. One search at a time, run properly.

Depth over speed

I will not rush a shortlist to hit a deadline. Getting the right person matters more than getting there fast.

Deep sector knowledge

Treatment, membranes, filtration and industrial water. I know the technology and the people building it.

Trusted advisor

Not just filling a role. I give you the right advice for where your team needs to go next.

From niche technical hires to executive leadership

Specialisms

From niche technical hires to executive leadership

As well as hiring globally for the water sector, Hydrec works across all major areas. We also specialise in the niches where the right shortlist makes the difference.

Growth

From first hire to full team

"Water businesses hire hardest at the inflection points. That's where I do my best work, every search done properly." — Alex Mason

Water technology equipment

Every stage of growth needs different people. First commercial hires that set the bar, a scaling team that doesn't dilute it, leadership for markets you're entering for the first time. I work through each of those moments with you, search by search.

Testimonials

What partnership
actually looks like

Membrion came to Alex as a VC-backed Series B business with a hard problem: hiring senior people into a technology most candidates had never heard of, while hitting the growth targets their board and investors were watching. Their first search together was a C-suite hire critical to the Series B strategy.

Three years on, Alex is still their recruiter. He knows the team, the board and the technology well enough to sell the opportunity properly, including to candidates being chased by every established name in the market.

In Greg's words: strategic, on time, on budget, and the hire he was hoping to make.

About Alex

Committed to the right people, not the fastest placement.
