Oil & gas recruitment
According to projections, over 28,000 gas industry jobs will be created by 2030. With an aging workforce and not enough new workers entering the industry, effective oil and gas recruitment will be essential for the sector.
Oversea wars, supply chain challenges and geopolitical issues, coupled with the UK working towards meeting its clean energy targets, is causing significant uheaval and change within the oil and gas sector.
The industry has also been experiencing vast talent shortages with a large portion of its workforce due to retire in the next 5-10 years and not enough newcomers to the industry to replace them. Through championing organisations and talented professionals, our team are working to support oil and gas organisations experiencing these substantial talent gaps.
