The team that created Energy Freelance announced recently the launch of Energy Hire, a platform dedicated to full-time energy industry hiring and career development featuring a suite of industry-specific machine learning — AI — tools.
“With this new platform, we are taking a bold step,” said Ryan Vinson, Energy Hire founder and chairman, in a statement. “We are revolutionizing an old, fragmented way of hiring that has proved costly and inefficient for both hiring firms and energy industry job seekers.”
Energy companies typically rely on siloed website postings, generic employment platforms, and informal industry networking to fill increasingly specific talent needs. Meanwhile, job seekers are typically faced with a patchwork array of hiring portals and application protocols, and search engines that provided inaccurate responses to industry-specific requests.
“When you go to the generic recruiting sites, the specificity and modern diversity of energy hiring are not well represented,” said Energy Hire CEO Michael McCown. “The legacy platforms don't know the lingo, they don't know what the job titles mean, and they certainly haven’t built their algorithms to respond to our prompts. With Energy Hire, we’re providing that specificity — and we’re taking it a step further with custom AI tools that we’ve trained to respond to energy industry needs.”
The AI tools now available on the Energy Hire platform include a job description generator that instantly turns uploaded information into detailed job listings, and a candidate search tool that provides HR teams and recruiters with only the best, most perfectly matched candidates for each listing.
Those AI tools turn uploaded resumes and LinkedIn profiles into Energy Hire profiles, and matching those profiles against a massive industry jobs database that is refreshed daily.
“With Energy Hire, you’ll only see the candidates and jobs you really want,” said McCown. “You won't be picking up referrals that have ‘oil’ or ‘energy’ somewhere in the text, scraped by a software program that knows nothing about our industry. You'll be getting carefully curated responses that genuinely fit your needs.”
In addition to the AI tools, Energy Hire has crafted verifiable review tools to give energy firms needed substantiation on profile information, and to help job seekers build a real presence on the site.
“When you’re a job seeker on Energy Hire, your entry isn’t just a one-off,” McCown said. “You’re building a reputation that the whole industry can see. In fact, we don’t want you to sign up just to look for a specific job. We hope you’ll sign up to find your future in the industry.”
Energy Freelance is an industry hiring platform that supports contractor engagements with seamless project management tools.
“With Energy Freelance, we made an important impact by streamlining project-based hiring,” said Vinson. “With the addition of the Energy Hire platform, we are taking energy industry hiring to the next level. This new platform will serve as the gold standard for the energy industry moving forward, fundamentally changing for the better how energy companies and professionals come together.”
