Frequently asked questions for employers

We designed Natrespro for companies that want to reduce their reliance on traditional hiring channels and want an efficient way to immediately reach high-quality natural resource professionals, which avoids the CV/resume lottery.

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/resumes. As part of our profile creation, our system only processes candidates who have an applicable industry-related skillset relative to our pre-populated dropdown menus. With search queries precisely aligned to the relevant field of interest, the vagueness of applicant tracking systems is completely avoided.

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

Before you can start connecting and messaging candidates, you will need to register your interest as an employer on Natrespro. Please make sure that your registration uses a professional e-mail address which identifies the company you are representing.

We are unable to engage with individuals who use personal email addresses unassociated with business website domains.

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, provided that they are active on the platform, they have the option to accept or reject your query.

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

Many 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 via direct marketing or relevant social media platforms 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 monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time. 

The Natrespro platform removes all labour-intensive activities associated with processing CVs/resumes and eliminates the requirement for expensive back-office software used for applicant tracking.

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

No, we are a talent-matching platform, providing a sophisticated solution for candidate access. We aim to provide a technological solution to end-users (employers) and recruitmet agencies.

With Natrespro, you can expect:

• Unlimited hiring potential for a fixed monthly subscription fee
• The avoidance of expensive applicant tracking systems
• The ability to message and engage with/or 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. 

Our platform hosts candidates and business providers from a cross-section of upstream functions, including but not limited to: 

• Drilling & Well Engineering
• Completions, Well Test, Well Intervention & Workovers
• Wellsite & Field Operations/Supervision
• Rig Crews - Driller level and above
• Offshore Wind Farm Development
• Quality, Health, Safety & Environment
• Geoscience

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

Our algorithms actively check candidate activity levels to determine whether to keep their profile active or not, ranking the most active candidates in specific searches.

Candidates may also control whether they are promoted, as we encourage them to keep their profiles up to date and to deactivate their profiles from searches once they find suitable employment. 

Candidates select their desired level of profile anonymity, and candidate searches reflect and respect this principle. Some candidates will select no anonymity, and therefore, they are more easily recognised in searches via other public-domain profiles. Candidates with a keener regard towards privacy are more likely only to be identified once they are approached via our platform, at which stage they can choose whether to engage further or decline.

The first contact with the candidate via our platform will be via direct messaging, as this is more likely to result in a response and keep the candidate engaged. The candidate will be notified of any direct messages via email to their registered account, minimising the likelihood of a delayed response.

All approved candidates will have a background working in the upstream energy sector or within an industry that shares standard skill sets. We target global candidates, and our database demographics are reflective of a worldwide audience.
