Global Energy Career Expo Aberdeen 2013

As the energy industry’s manpower demands increase, the Global Energy Career Expo has become the proven recruitment platform. Since 2008, the Career Expo has provided opportunities for recruiters to meet face-to-face with thousands of highly qualified candidates. We are pleased to announce the next installment of the Global Energy Career Expo, taking place in Aberdeen, Scotland on 12 – 13 June, 2013 at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC). The oil and gas industry has reached a critical juncture regarding its workforce. A considerable portion of the industry will move into retirement in the next few years, taking critical knowledge, skills and experience with them. We are therefore faced with a dilemma; as the industry continues to boom and new global projects unveiled, not only will more be demanded from the current workforce, but significant numbers will need to be added in order to secure the industry’s future success. As a consequence, new talent is in demand and companies are spending considerable time and money on sourcing and employing qualified staff. This has also led to a culture of poaching, the War for Talent, in which salaries continue to rise as companies try to entice skilled individuals that they require for specific roles within their business. To put this in context, the Global Energy Career Expo Aberdeen has been created to fill the recognised skills gap in the industry by providing a crucial platform for jobseekers and recruiting companies to meet. The Global Energy Career Expo Aberdeen aims to alleviate some of this pressure by creating an environment which gives recruiting companies and jobseekers the opportunity to discuss the latest employment opportunities.
