WA based recruitment agency, Petroleum Professions, focuses on upstream recruitment in the oil and gas industry. Global talent manager, Tracy Frawley, agrees there is great competition to source the right candidates for any particular position. “ I guess because the market is so exciting at the moment, everyone wants to talk, there’s a lot of activity and people are moving around. They are trying to maximise the situation because, even with a bright forecast, they’re not sure how long it is going to last.” Frawley admits it is difficult at the moment but not impossible. “Even though it’s difficult at the moment, there are people out there who want to talk. You’ve just got to be really aggressive in going out there to get them.”

Candidates should be aware of their initial motivations for applying for a new job. Counter offers are commonplace and candidates should be prepared to face a counter offer and remember the reason they sought a new role to begin with. Regional variations present candidates with increasing choices that are not necessarily fueled by salary package alone. Both the employer and the potential employees should be flexible regarding non-traditional benefits, while promoting the interesting projects that are available. - Hays Recruitment.
