Making The Right Hire in the Oil, Gas, Energy & Resources (OGER) Industry

In a world facing climate change, many companies are looking to reinvent themselves, adapting to the rising demand for a low-carbon future and cleaner energy. As the Oil, Gas, Energy & Resources (OGER) companies pursue strategic diversification moves, the industry is in need of talented individuals. This transformation, coupled with the increased use of digital technologies such as cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to increase business agility and reduce costs in the OGER industry, this evolution is driving the demand for more talents that can bridge this skill gap. With this uptick, companies must choose how to respond to the skills shortage and the global war for talent. 

Developing A Hiring Strategy with Market Insights

To navigate the recruitment landscape, market insights play a crucial role in showing the trends that can shape the future. By analysing market trends, not only can employers make informed decisions, but they can also strategically plan ahead for future hiring. The new energy era creates demand for new skills desired by hiring companies, making it advantageous to be ahead of the trend. Whether you are looking for permanent, contract, temporary, or project workers, with market insights, you can make the best hiring decisions.

Right Talent, Right Time & Right Cost

It is important to not only find the correct candidate with the right offer but to do it in a timely fashion as well. Certain roles need filling earlier than others, but you could lose candidates if you drag your feet too long. Doing it well can help optimise business growth. Be it leadership roles that require experience, functional roles that need execution prowess, or technical roles that necessitate specific skills, working with a recruitment agency gives you a broader and more experienced perspective to match talents for success.
