The new frontier of Oil and Gas Jobs, Aberdeen Recruitment

Hazell Engineering, a market leader in Oil Drilling recruitment in the UK and Aberdeen recently announced numerous new and high paying vacancies in offshore oil drilling for the Aberdeen market. These vacancies for Aberdeen were announced after the oil and gas industry saw stability after a long phase of uncertainty and unpredictable highs and lows.

Oil Drilling Recruitment Specialist at Hazell Engineering, John Howard said,” All over Scotland there are many new job posts announced each month but recruitment agencies fail to advertise them to their best potential. Because of this, there are still many people missing out on several possible job opportunities each month. Aberdeen oil and gas jobs are quite widely available but there are not enough recruitment agencies advertising these jobs in the right way, unlike Hazell Engineering who are approached regulalry by many companies, all having opportunities for oil and gas personnel from Aberdeen. These jobs range from painters, material man, mud man, welder, deck crew, drilling crew, engineers at lower levels to roustabout, derrickman, driller assistant, drill supervisor, senior tool pusher and OIM or Offshore Installation Manager at the higher level.”

He further added, “Considering the fact that oil rig jobs are highly demanding, at Hazell Engineering, our recruitment operation is prompt to advertise the jobs that come from the reputed employers, ones that follow strict safety measures and adhere to the maritime law. We understand that even a slight lapse on the part of the company or the employee may lead to serious results that could amount to wastage of unaccountable resources and having far reaching implications on both the company and the individuals concerned. Which is why we are stringent in our selection process“

Stability in Oil Prices Brings Good News for Aberdeen Recruitment

The shifting price of oil and oil products has had a very adverse effect on Aberdeen Recruitment which is critically dependent on the wellbeing of the oil and gas industry. Because of the unpredictability and the uncertainty that the oil and gas industry is going through, the fortunes of the recruitment companies too are being adversely affected.

From 2005 to 2009, the oil and gas recruitment sector witnessed significant and unparalleled growth. This momentous growth was due to the fact that oil had hit an all-time high of $145 per barrel. This record rise in price meant bad news for the consumers but on the other hand, it opened up huge recruitment opportunities for individuals seeking a career in oil and gas industry. Sadly, when the prices dropped, the feasibility of many projects became untenable and consequently these projects were put on hold. As the oil prices shifted back to their normal levels, they took the level of permanent and contractual appointments significantly down with them.

The good news is that the price of oil has now entered the stable zone, and large projects are being launched, released and reopened once again. Huge corporations are once again investing in the oil and gas sector and news jobs and job roles are being announced every day. Europe, particularly Scotland is still facing the after effects of the recession and is still struggling against a backdrop of severe public sector spending cuts and mass unemployment.  But because of the investments and interest shown by the oil and gas corporations, the Aberdeen Recruitment market is demonstrating a strong growth trend, with the level of demand for permanent placements from employers increasing significantly.

The nature of the oil and gas industry is truly particular and unique. The high level of vacancies and pay rates are always an attraction for candidates looking to migrate from one country to another or from one profession to another. Usually, the candidates from other sectors find it very tough to adjust themselves accordingly because of the unique knowledge and specific skill set required for surviving and performing in this industry. The high number of vacancies being announced means that the candidates will have a clear upper hand when it comes to negotiating salary, benefits and contract terms.

Traditionally, the Aberdeen recruitment model has always centred on providing services with a very tough competition in price, speed of delivery and volumes. The traditional model is now witnessing a rapid transformation to a relationship-driven model as clients become more aware and demand a higher level of commitment, consultation and expertise from recruitment providers in the area.

The transformation of the business model does not mean that cost per hire is no longer an important factor to consider, it still is, but businesses have evolved and have adopted elements of both models to put an end to hiring the wrong people for the job at hand. Doing so has helped corporations to quantify results in terms of the time spent on the recruiting process, the agency fees and the net outcome.

The changing landscape of Aberdeen Recruitment presents recruitment agencies with lots of opportunities for business development. The recruitment agencies that offer a consultative approach and innate knowledge of Aberdeen Recruitment are sure to thrive and grow if they capitalize on the opportunity presented to them.
