Our Specialists
Petroleum
Interpeople provides technical recruitment services across a range of upstream oil and gas operating and service companies on both a global and local scale. Our modern approach to recruitment, i.e. being on the inside of industry, ensures we are able to access the inaccessible “passive” talent rather than active job seekers and communicate on their level. From initial seismic acquisition through to first oil and final field abandonment, Interpeople can source personnel for all stages of the Exploration and Production lifecycle.
