experienced specialists (many have retired or moved to
work in other engineering and technical sectors)
alongside an increase in global initiatives, we understand
how important it is that companies are able to partner
with experienced, knowledgeable recruiters who have an
in depth knowledge of both the sector and its scarce
candidate population. ersg utilises our global capabilities

company information...
Set up in 2008, ersg is a specialist energy recruitment company placing highly experienced candidates into the
energy sector on a Contract, Permanent and Fixed Term Contract basis. We build global candidate pools for our
clients that give them access to the best active and passive specialist candidates in the world.
There are a number of projects planned and currently in progress across the energy sector everywhere across the
globe. We have found however that the pool of candidates with experience of working on projects within the energy
sector has been steadily decreasing. The trends indicate that this is because candidates have either moved into
different markets or retired due to their age and have not been replaced with new upcoming talent. The result is
that skilled candidates are very much in demand at present and the situation is only going to get worse over the
coming months and years.
Fortunately, our candidate reach stretches worldwide, with specialists consultants experienced in working with
candidates from Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. We understand the importance of increasing global
mobility within the marketplace and are experts at maximising the opportunities this provides on behalf 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 clients
who share similar values and who we feel we can work in partnership with. Only working with a few clients in each
of our specialist markets allows us to partner with our customers ensuring that we can attract the right talent for
them within the energy sector and ambassador their brand within it.
