Spencer Ogden Launches Energy Recruitment App

HOUSTON, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Spencer Ogden, known as the world's fastest growing energy recruitment agency, has launched the first mobile recruitment app targeting the entire energy skills sector. The free, practical and easy to download app, is available on IOS, Android and Windows.

Updated in real time, the app features job openings in the eight sectors for which Spencer Ogden recruits: Oil & Gas, Renewables, Power, Smart, Nuclear, Energy Trading, Mining, Technology and Energy Finance. The app also provides candidates the opportunity to create personal profiles, browse jobs, upload their resumes and apply to desired positions with the touch of a screen or via their LinkedIn profile.

"It's surprising how few recruitment agencies have launched app versions of their job sites," says Spencer Ogden CEO and Co-Founder David Spencer-Percival. "Our modern workforce is ultra-mobile and desires the option of accessing information in multiple ways from any location. If an agency is to remain competitive, it is essential that it meet the demands of its customers. This app does just that."

Job seekers can filter searches by sector, location and salary, and then further break down the returned vacancies into contract and permanent positions. The salary slider tool enables users to set their expectations, and a one-touch calculator gives an indication of take-home pay after withholding taxes.

Once an application has been submitted through the app, it is automatically saved for review. The 'track applications' button enables users to quickly monitor the status of positions for which they have applied. Candidates are notified when interviews are secured and, for the successful ones, when job offers are made.

"Spencer Ogden has created a balanced tool that bridges the gap between design and ease of use," says Spencer-Percival. "Applicants will find that the app is informational, easy to navigate and designed to fulfill end-to-end recruitment needs."

The new tool is more than a job search and application portal. Users can view Spencer Ogden and industry news and offers.  The app also provides contact information for Spencer Ogden consultants in each sector and in each of the global offices. Because it is linked to Spencer Ogden's live Twitter feed, news announcements and incoming job opportunities can also be seen in real time.
