Working Smart Ltd. has launched the first specialist graduate recruitment web site for the upstream oil and gas industry. www.graduate-smart.com connects students and graduates to a world of geoscience and engineering employment opportunities and much more. Support for this new site has already been received from leading universities, international industry institutions and E&P societies.
www.graduate-smart.com has been developed by Working Smart, a long-established specialist petroleum recruitment company providing professional staff to exploration and production and related service companies. Deirdre O'Donnell, Managing Director, says "Our database of 25,000+ active E&P job seekers includes an increasing number of recent graduates. This growth, coupled with our clients' demand, and the urgent need to fill the skills gap in our industry, was a key driver for launching this new graduate recruitment site."
New services for employers include free posting of vacancies, internships and summer placements, working on a "No Success - No Fee" basis. In addition, companies will have direct access to the candidate database and sophisticated search, screen and ranking tools to evaluate the skills and competencies of students and graduate job seekers around the world. During the coming months, Working Smart expects a rapid increase in the number of students and graduates registering on the new site and reviewing available job opportunities.
Services for students and graduates include a free platform to market their capabilities globally and a portal to increased employment opportunities. In addition, the site provides several features developed specifically for graduates, including tailored news, events, links and a careers advice section with tips and information to help people entering the job market. Features under development include details of available university and training courses and an e-mentoring section to connect students with industry professionals.
