AGR Consultancy had to find and recruit a Drilling Manager to project-manage an African deepwater drilling campaign for an independent operator.
In addition the full deepwater drilling team was sourced, which consisted of expatriate personnel, personnel specific to the country of operations and locally based Australians.
Strategy
Headhunting
We targeted a select number of companies where we knew we would find the right calibre of candidates, concentrating on deepwater operators in GoM, Africa and Brazil.
Data-Mining
AGR Consultancy has a database of more than 9,000 candidates in Well Engineering and its related disciplines. We also subscribe to a number of industry-specific recruitment databases. These were rigorously searched to supplement the long list generated by our comprehensive headhunting activity.
