Talent acquisition professionals of today must keep a pulse on the constantly changing landscape of recruitment. 2018 has been the year of reckoning for recruiters as more and more are making use of mobile recruiting. Oil and gas industry is no different, as it is exploring new ways to use e-recruitment technology to up their digitalization game.
To bridge this gap between the talent and the opportunities, it is important to leverage the benefit of e-recruitment and collaborate with recruitment automation via app-based approach.
The Pros
A mobile application simplifies the labor-intensive and time-consuming recruitment task and comes loaded with features that help to automate the recruitment cycle. Here are more pros for the app-based approach to sourcing talent in oil and gas industry:
Saves Time and Cost
App-based recruitment saves a considerable amount of time in the job posting, application storage, screening and shortlisting. A recruiter can maintain the process on-the-go and avoid any delay due to their on-site visits or other travel related activities. This means a definite growth of recruitment productivity as well as avoiding revenue leakages due to open positions.
Improves Quality
Time and cost saving is an obvious outcome of the app-based approach. However, it also aids in the quality of recruitment by reaching out to a wider audience, getting access to a larger database of applicants, shortlisting candidates based on the specific requirement that is crucial for oil and gas sector. Thus, boosting the overall quality of hiring.
Ease of Use
The millennials and GenX are mobile-friendly generations. They get familiar with the applications fast. With the availability to get push-notifications on new job postings for the candidates, it is the ease of application which attracts applicants. Recruiters must ensure the app is user-friendly and intuitive to deliver better results for job search query.
Boosts Engagement
Companies in the oil and gas space have remained on backfoot when it comes to interaction with applicants. However, this sore spot is getting rectified with the mobile-based app. The chatbots allow the recruiters and applicants to communicate using email or messenger. The applicants can directly reach out to recruiters for any queries and concerns, and additionally, the recruiter can notify the candidates about the process of deadlines and on-boarding formalities.
Niche Market Approach
If you are recruiting exclusively for certain profiles, a mobile app can help you connect with potential contacts who are interested in the oil and gas industry. A networking platform like NrgEdge, that is specifically developed for professionals from the energy sector does not let the job postings get lost among requirements from other industries like IT and telecom. This gives you an advantage of promoting your posting in a niche forum.
The Cons
For all the good, app-based approach can do, it still comes under fire from the critics Here are some points of concerns that must be considered before opting for this approach:
AI Cannot Replace the Human Intelligence
Some app-based platforms work on the artificial intelligence, where certain keywords or parameters are fed to shortlist the appropriate candidates. However, oil and gas industry is flexible and more skill-driven which means an applicant with atypical work experience can also be equally qualified for the position. This might be overlooked or rejected by the automated system. Hence human intelligence is still required to choose the right candidate.
System Can Be Tricked
Sometimes, poor selection of keywords by the recruiter can trick the app to highlight or shortlist candidates who are not relevant to the search profile. It might just end up to be a more frustrating process to manually shortlist profiles from a wide pool of mismatched resumes.
Safety Concerns
The web-based application is prone to hacking, virus or other data loss or data stealing which is a major concern for recruiters and professionals alike. In some situations, the company might ask for more information from the candidate apart from the ones mentioned in resume and profile. The candidate might not be comfortable sharing the details over an app leading to the delay in the onboarding process.
There is no doubt that the app-based approach is the future and with the right approach to tackling the loop-holes, like right usage of keywords and proper security settings, it will turn out to be a win-win for both recruiters and candidates. Oil and gas industry can take a step forward by cross-pollinating talents from other industries and an e-recruitment app can be the most crucial tool to achieve that.

Critical questions the report answers:
Growth Drivers are :
Energy cost advantage of LNG over alternate energy sources for end-users
Heavy duty transport companies save approximately 30% on fuel costs on LNG-fueled trucks, compared to diesel fueled trucks, and produce 30% lower emissions. Air pollution from diesel engines is one of the biggest concerns, especially in areas that struggle to meet air-quality standards. On the other hand, natural gas causes complete combustion and fewer emissions than diesel. It is estimated that increasing environmental concerns from the utilization of diesel vehicles is likely to increase the adoption of green fuel technologies such as natural gas. In the case of electric power generation, natural gas engines below 150 KW are more cost effective than oil fueled engines. Fuel cost is one of the major cost for road transportation, which is strongly subject to excise taxation. Typically, an LNG-fueled Volvo FM truck can travel up to 600 km with LNG. With an additional 150 litres of diesel, it can travel up to 1,000 km without refuelling. Thus, reducing the cost of travel. With additional LNG liquefaction capacity expected to come online in the next few years, an oversupply of LNG is expected, which will drive the price of LNG further lower. Considering all these factors, both developed and developing countries are undertaking feasibility studies to recognize the techno-economics of shifting their economies from diesel to natural gas. Therefore, the cheap price of small-scla LNG over others alterantive fuels will drive the growth during the forecast period.
Small-scale LNG terminals are regarded as facilities, including liquefaction and regasification terminals, with a capacity of less than 1 million tons per annum (MTPA) within the scope of this study. It includes the LNG produced from small-scale liquefaction terminals and regasified at small-scale regasification terminals for catering to applications such as LNG-fueled heavy-duty transport, LNG-fueled ships, and industrial & power generation.
North America small-scale LNG market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The North America small-scale LNG market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In North America, most of the small-scale LNG demand in industrial & power applications is met through peak shaving facilities. The peak shaving facilities are used to meet adequate supply of LNG to address the peak demand. In 2015, there were more than 100 peak shaving facilities in the U.S., among which one-half of the peak shaving facilities were located in the Northeast, while a quarter of them were located in the Midwest. Currently, the U.S. has among the highest number of peak shaving plants. However, less than 10% of them are available for any other use due to the current electricity demand. The commissioning of small-scale liquefaction plants can expand the peak shaving capacities in the region.
