Shortage of skilled workers hits oil and gas companies
clearly the problem is not that they can't find them but there are many issues that stand in the way of finding these people. Some that spring to mind include:
1. BP Migas who always slow down any recruitment process
2. Indonesian companies (including the Multi-nationals here) not being quick enough to understand they have to compete with global demand when it comes to salary of Indonesian nationals
3. HR departments protecting their "payments" to the extent of not allowing line managers to hire talent from an "unapproved vendor". Recently a consultant of mine sent a CV to a line manager who bit his arm off for the CV saying he had been looking for over a year for somebody with the skills of this guy. As perfect as this person was (even salary was under budget) HR would not let the deal happen!!
