Oil and Gas headhunters: Our Headhunting Process Is Very Refined

With over 25 years Headhunting experience in oil and gas recruitment

Global Oil and Gas Headhunting

The oil and gas sector has been experiencing a turbulent time with prices dropping by over 50% back in 2015. Despite an improved position, in 2023 there continues to be a shortage of labour that has occurred over the last few years with an ageing workforce and limited younger talent entering the oil and gas industry. This lack of talent has led to increasing competition for talent with the industry and highlights the need for headhunting services.

“I have had to deal with quite a few Executive Search firms over the past few months and MSC Headhunting have been by far the best… an company that specialises in Oil and Gas.”

The oil and gas industry is expanding across the entire globe with considerable activity in China, Australia, Brazil, Africa and the Gulf of Mexico.  Most oil and gas companies are segmented and standardised according to business segment, assets or function. We have been involved with a number of exciting ICO and NOC projects across key countries including the Middle East, Russia, USA, UK and Europe.

Despite companies announcing job cuts in response to the situation in O&G, this short term cost cutting could leave businesses unequipped for when the industry recovers. If you are looking for the highest quality candidates to fill your vacancy then we can guarantee success in finding even the most challenging role anywhere in the world.

We work extensively within the following areas of Oil and Gas:

Upstream
Midstream
Downstream
Pipeline
Marine
Service and Supply
Technology Applications
Oil Production onsure and offshore
Deepwater Drilling
Subsea

We have an extensive international network within the Oil and Gas sector having completed projects worldwide and most commonly in the Middle East, South America, Russia and Africa. Through our extensive market knowledge we can ensure we provide only the most suitable Oil and Gas candidate for our client’s specific positions. We recognise that to remain successful in this carbon-constrained world you need to hire the right people.

Case Study – Petrolium Company, Middle East:

A Success Story in Oil and gas executive search

A prominent government-owned petroleum company in the Middle East faced a significant challenge when they lost their General Manager of the Maintenance Department. This role was pivotal, overseeing the maintenance of a vast refinery processing over 200,000 barrels daily and associated terminals with a storage capacity exceeding 10 million barrels.

Understanding the urgency, MSC Headhunting was entrusted with the task, promising a shortlist of ideal candidates within a mere 4-6 weeks. The search was extensive, spanning multiple continents and involving over 150 potential candidates from various sectors of the oil and gas industry. After rigorous screening, including phone and face-to-face interviews, a shortlist of five standout candidates was presented to the client within the promised timeframe.

Headhunting results:

The client’s selection process was thorough, involving video interviews and on-site visits. Their top choice was offered the position within a week of the site visit, marking a swift and successful conclusion to the search.

The client praised MSC Headhunting’s professionalism, responsiveness, and specialized expertise in the oil and gas sector, stating,

“I have had to deal with quite a few Executive Search firms over the past few months and MSC Headhunting have been by far the best… an company that specialises in Oil and Gas.”
