Mitra EV's VP of Finance, now SVP. Go Eve's VP of Sales and Head of Product Engineering. EVCP Solutions' Head of EV Charging & Renewables, still in role more than two years on.
Ayrton founded AYM Recruitment and has recruited only in EV charging for seven years. His placements include the VP of Finance at Mitra EV, the VP of Sales and Head of Product Engineering at Go Eve, and the Head of EV Charging & Renewables at EVCP Solutions.
I worked with Ayrton Moore during my transition to VP of Finance at Mitra EV, and he stands apart from typical recruiters. Ayrton operated as a true partner — thinking like a founder/CEO, not a recruiter. He focused on long-term fit, brought clarity and candor, and consistently prioritized building the right outcome over simply filling a role. In the EV space, where hiring decisions are critical, I’d strongly recommend him to any company building a high-caliber team.

At Go Eve we’ve used Aym Recruitment twice now — for a Head of Product Engineering and a VP of Sales — and both times Ayrton nailed it. He got what we needed straight away and found the right people fast. The whole process was smooth, both commercially and candidate-wise. I’d definitely recommend Aym Recruitment to other EV charging start-ups.

Ayrton demonstrated exceptional professionalism, communication skills, and industry knowledge throughout our collaboration. His high operational tempo and availability was refreshing. If you are looking for someone to help with hiring I cannot recommend him enough.

I have worked with Ayrton over the last 6 months to find and fill multiple technical positions in the EV Charging space. He is resourceful, professional and most important, effective! I don’t know how he does it but somehow he is able to find excellent candidates. He does a fantastic job pre-vetting them so that I’m not wasting time interviewing people who aren’t a fit for the role and he cares about finding the right person, even if it takes months. In an industry where pay is linked to filling a position, it is refreshing to find a recruiter who cares more about the success of my business than getting a payday. If you need help hiring in the EV space, stop wasting your time and call Ayrton.

Which leadership roles do you recruit for?
Director, VP and C-suite roles in commercial, operations, engineering, product and finance at US charge point operators, EVSE manufacturers and fleet electrification companies.
Have you placed VP-level leaders in EV charging?
Yes. Mitra EV hired its VP of Finance, now SVP, through us, and Go Eve its VP of Sales and Head of Product Engineering.
Can you hire a leader from a specific competitor?
Yes. Competitor mapping is part of every leadership search, and approaches stay confidential until the candidate wants to talk.
Do you search across the whole United States?
Yes. The network is built state by state, so a search in a new market does not start from zero.
