Popular oil and gas job site www.oilandgaspeople.com has just unveiled a new candidate toolkit that offers registered users a one stop shop for all their recruitment related needs.
Managing Director of Oil and Gas People, Kevin Forbes, said: “The Oil and Gas Industry by its nature is made up of a lot of contractors. Having experienced firsthand how difficult it can be starting up as a one man limited company, gaining the required insurances, setting up accountants, tax, payroll and so on, we wanted to create a service that would take away the pain for our candidates. Our idea quickly grew to include other services relevant to anyone in the industry and we are delighted to be leading the way with another first for any job site”
The new toolkit offers candidates the ability to talk with accountancy, tax and payroll experts online and in real time, all from within the Oil and Gas People portal. Free advice is available with accountants and financial planners just a click away. Acumen accountants and Advisors, Acumen Financial Planning and Futurelink for Payroll, head up these services.
Oil and Gas People have also teamed up with specialist Insurance provider Caunce O’ Hara who have worked with Lloyds of London and directly with Oil and Gas People to come up with a limited company insurance solution that for the first time is tailored to the needs of oil and gas contractors.
Chris Caunce, Managing Director of Caunce O’ Hara, said: “Oil and Gas People approached us last year after identifying a gap in the market. Many months of hard work followed and we are now ecstatic to be launching our new energy sector insurance through Oil and Gas People”.
In addition to the above the toolkit also includes currency exchange services through No1 Currency, a fantastic range of international medical and repatriation insurance through Bellwood Prestbury and perhaps the most appealing offering of all – Discount on selected offshore training courses at all UK Petrofac Training Centres.
Oil and Gas People have even added their own offering to the toolkit in the form of a free CV review service that will provide registered users with personal advice and feedback on their current CV with the option to have their CV professionally formatted if required.
Kevin rounded up by saying “six months of hard work has paid off and we are grateful to all the companies who are contributing to provide our oil and gas candidates with such a fantastic service all in one place. Many special offers and discounts are available meaning our site members will save money while finding everything they need with a few clicks”.
The new toolkit is available to all candidates once signed in to Oil and Gas People.
