RECRUITMENT company Hays said yesterday that oil and gas firms should consider employing people from other sectors after it highlighted the industry’s skills shortage.
Hays said technical and engineering roles were being created, but there were not enough people with the necessary skills and experience to fill the posts. Graeme Fyfe, director of the recruitment firm’s oil and gas division in Scotland, said many of Hays’ clients were looking for skilled project engineers who “simply aren’t available”. He said employers should consider if people from other industry sectors could fulfil these jobs.
