company information...

Set up in 2008, ersg is a specialist energy recruitment company placing highly experienced candidates into theenergy sector on a Contract, Permanent and Fixed Term Contract basis. We build global candidate pools for ourclients that give them access to the best active and passive specialist candidates in the world.

There are a number of projects in progress and planned across the energy sector around the globe. We havefound however that the pool of candidates with experience of working on projects within the energy sector hasbeen steadily decreasing. The trends indicate that this is because candidates have either moved into differentmarkets or retired due to their age and have not been replaced with new upcoming talent. The result is that skilledcandidates are very much in demand at present and the situation is only going to get worse over the comingmonths and years.

Fortunately, our candidate reach stretches worldwide, with specialist consultants experienced in working withapplicants from Europe, The Americas, Middle East, SE Asia and Africa. We understand the importance ofincreasing global mobility within the marketplace and are experts at maximising the opportunities this provides onbehalf of our candidates and clients.

We don’t look to work with every business; instead we look to form relationships with a select number of clientswho share similar values and who we feel we can work in partnership with. Only working with a few clients in eachof our specialist markets allows us to partner with our customers ensuring that we can attract the right talent forthem within the energy sector and ambassador their brand within it.
