Frequently asked questions for employers

We designed Natrespro for companies that want to rely less on traditional hiring channels and want an efficient way to reach high quality natural resource professionals. 

Our platform provides a simple, intuitive and easy way to quickly assess a candidate's key skills and areas of experience without reading traditional CVs. Every candidate has been screened and we only promote candidates who are actively interested in being contacted for employment. 

You can also control your hiring costs far better, as we offer unlimited hiring potential for a fixed fee. 

Before you can start connecting and messaging candidates, you will need to: 

• Register on Natrespro
• Have a customer success meeting with us and select a subscription plan
• Join a 20 minute on-boarding session

Our mission is to find high-quality candidates who are actively looking for a new role or project in the upstream energy sector. Crucially we balance the diversity of candidates by job function with the companies we are currently serving so that employers can find the right candidates quickly. As a customer of Natrespro you can reach out to any candidate and they will respond quickly to your messages.

Natrespro is attractive to candidates who want to:

• Speak directly to hiring managers
• Are ready to change jobs or find a new work project in the next 1-3 months

A lot of the candidates who join Natrespro find out about the platform from their peers who like the ethics and transparency of this two-sided marketplace. Additionally, we actively market the platform to ensure we always have new candidates joining the platform. 

We want customers to reduce their cost-per-hire and increase the quality of hire. We believe that traditional recruitment agency fees are expensive, so we offer unlimited hiring for a fixed fee.

We attract candidates from across the world, on every profile you can see where the candidate lives as well as their nationality and residency statuses.

We check candidate profiles to ensure they are accurate and reflective of their true work flexibility when it comes to working abroad.

No, we differ from traditional agencies because we don't own the relationship with candidates, we also don't charge expensive placement fees. We are ultimately an online talent-matching platform. With Natrespro you can expect:

• Unlimited hiring potential for a fixed fee
• Message and hire any candidate

In addition to our talent-matching platform. Natrespro can provide business-to-business project-based solutions which avoid specific contractor-based status determinations. 

We have new candidates coming onto the platform every week, from a cross-section of upstream functions including and not limited to: 

• Drilling & Well Engineering
• Completions, Well Test, Well Intervention & Workovers
• Wellsite & Field Operations/Supervision
• Rig Crew - Drilling

Generally speaking, candidates will be kept active on the platform as long as they are still looking for employment or project-based work.

We do periodically check candidate activity levels in order to determine whether to keep their profile active or not.

Candidates may also control whether they are promoted, we actively encourage them to keep their profiles up to date and to de-activate as and when they find suitable employment. 

The first contact with the candidate needs to be via direct messaging on the Natrespro platform, after all, you are more likely to receive a response through the platform and keep the candidate happy. The candidate will be notified of any unread direct messages by means of a separate email to their registered account, minimising the likelihood of a delayed response.

Usually, the candidate will provide interview/screening times for initial conversations to take place between you and the candidate. After that, the candidate will continue to go through your normal recruiting process. If you need any support, please contact your account manager. 

All mid-senior candidates will have a background working in the upstream energy sector or within an industry that shares common skill sets. We target candidates from across the world, however, we target countries that traditionally have a strong, technical workforce with experience working in the upstream energy sector. This includes but is not limited to: 

• UK & Northern Europe
• North America
