We Connect the Best Energy Companies with the Best Energy Candidates
Our Story
Management Recruiters of Northern Monmouth County was started in December, 1997 by Bob Goehring - the expertise/focus was Executive search in the Energy Industry with a niche of Independent Power Producers, Architect Engineering Firms & Power Plant Developement and Construction. Management Recruiters of Northern Monmouth County also worked with many Equipment Manufacturers and Energy Service Companies.
​
In May of 1998, Todd Goehring joined the firm and focused exclusively on sales, marketing and trading of both Natural Gas and Electricity. Deregulation was expanding in many markets allowing growth in both the regulated and unregulated sectors. As a team, Bob and Todd continued to forge long term partnerships that allowed many Energy Companies to grow during this critical time in the industry.
​
As the company evolved as an industry leader in Energy, we decided to separate from the Management Recruiters network and in 2006 Energy Search Partners was born.
​
Our two senior recruiters, Michael Russomanno and Ryan Yelton joined ESP in August 2007 and December 2008 respectively. As a team, we have focused our efforts on identifying the elite candidates in the industry.
ESP carefully selects companies who are growing and have established themselves as world class and source the industry for the very best capability. We believe that the choicest talent is not always looking; however, presented a compelling opportunity, will consider a change. Caryn Goehring joined the ESP team in 2010 as Controller. She has also managed the contracts group and human resources. Robert Goehring interned with ESP during the summer of 2021 and proceeded to be hired full time in November 2021. He is our Project Coordinator and assists with all searches in Executive Recruitment.
​
In 2010, Todd Goehring took over as Owner and President. Todd Continues to evaluate the Energy Landscape and keep his firm one step ahead of the competition.
​
ESP has a simple mission, to work hard for our clients & to get them candidates no other recruiting firm knows how to find. We do this all while maintaining 100 % confidentiality, honesty and integrity.
