What It Boiled Down To In The PA Shale Play….. • Drug Testing • Work Ethic/Culture • Unfamiliarity with the business • (Dad didn’t do it!) • Lack of safety training and other • related certifications • Lack of skills training
At first, it was a mad scramble with everyone trying to get on board to find out what O&G companies were here, where they were, what they needed….no one had the answers or knew where to find them!
The Good News from PA….. • It’s all started to come together • The O&G companies are better at letting people know where they are and what their needs are • The local education/training infrastructure has been gearing up to address industry-specific needs • Local suppliers are learning how to serve O&G
Solutions – Short Term • Know what differentiates you in applicants’ eyes • Be clear about what you expect of them • And what they can expect of you • Determine which skills you should build vs. buy • Realize that recruiting is not a one-size-fits-all process • Ensure your selection process is “effective” • Recruit for talent, not for vacancies • Use every action as a way to build your brand
Solutions – Longer Term • Use an effective on-boarding process • Ensure you are paying for performance • Identify and retain your high performers • Train your managers to manage effectively • Effectively manage your marginal performers • Don’t organize your staff – staff your organization • Communicate, communicate, communicate
