  • ​As I have mentioned in previous correspondence it has been a pleasure working with you and the rest of the team at WRS. This being the second time i have worked as a consultant through WRS and having delt with yourself previously while working for Genel in Kurdistan. What I like is the fact the team as a whole is responsive and proactive. I sense the attitude that nothing is too much trouble and consultant is a valued asset. I have worked through numerous other agency's in my career and I can confirm none come close to the service provided by WRS. Even when my direct point of contact (Joanne), is not available I was quickly delt with in the same manner by Nina. Keep up the good work and hopefully when this contract is finished we can work together in the future on alternative projects.

  • ​I would like to send a note to express my appreciation for the professionalism and support I have received from WRS during the last three years. Over this period the staff at WRS have been professional in all of our interactions but more importantly their speed of response and willingness to go the extra mile to talk and explain the processes is excellent, compared to other agencies I have worked for. Processing and payment of timesheets, invoices and expenses is always very prompt and efficient with payments often made before the end of the month as long as the time sheet has been approved. The WRS staff are also very helpful with any documents or pay statements I may have misplaced and they are always happy to replace them or to supply duplicate copies. There is also a real effort to be flexible especially as the contract with Genel energy has changed over time, WRS has kept up with the changes and always been efficient in sending out changes electronically for signature. So please accept this mail as my appreciation for the professionalism from the company but more importantly the excellent communication between the company and myself. ​

  • Despite working for nearly a decade in traditional energy, I’ve always been passionate about renewables. So I’m thrilled to be working in the field, and contributing to the proliferation of sustainable energy. At H2 Green Steel, I’ll be working on the world’s first hydrogen project. We’re constructing a large steel plant in northern Sweden that will use green hydrogen and renewables to significantly reduce climate pollution in the material’s production. Challenges for women As with any technology or engineering industry, it’s difficult for women to attain roles in leadership, project finance, and governance due to gender discrimination. Limitations also exist because women with families are more likely to decline positions which involve relocation. Thankfully though, I’m seeing a gradual acceptance. Working with WRS Alex Spruce, Recruitment Consultant at WRS, reached out directly because he felt I fitted the role requirements. It was a great experience from start to finish – Alex would continuously update me, remaining incredibly proactive and polite throughout. During the process, I was offered another opportunity, but Alex advised me to not accept it because he believed in me – leading to me landing my dream role. Why I recommend WRS I’m really grateful to WRS for helping me land the role that I’ve always wanted. In fact, I’ve already recommended another colleague to them – if you want to change roles, WRS is a no-brainer.

  • ​WRS is enabling the successful execution of various energy projects in more than 90 countries, with end-to-end global mobilisation solutions within an industry facing a talent shortage.We provide support at every stage of the mobilisation cycle, onboarding personnel following client instruction. Singapore | UAE | East Africa One client recently constructed and mobilised a floating production storage offload (FPSO) from Singapore’s shipyards to their large offshore oil-producing field in Israel. WRS fully supported the operator, EPC, and shipyard owner throughout this process, utilising various global teams. WRS Singapore provided the employment, immigration, and contracted payroll services locally, while WRS HQ delivered the end-to-end recruitment services, and then took over the employment contracting once the vessel had departed Singapore. Throughout the process, the WRS Contractor Care team enabled a smooth transition for our personnel in the global mobility phases.– Recently, the WRS team was provided with a two-week limit to mobilise two contractors to the United Arab Emirates for a short-term commissioning project in Dubai’s shipyard. Typically, this process can take over two months, but the WRS team was able to support our client to deliver fully approved local work permits within the time frame – something the client had never seen before. WRS has now been retained by them as a preferred supplier for global mobility services. – Through our local joint venture partner, Q-Sourcing, we have formed a market-leading business delivering first-class services. We’re providing our full suite of recruitment, contracting, payroll and HR Consultancy services to all clients in Uganda and Tanzania. The major challenges are immigration, work permits, travel logistics, and accommodation support in remote locations. Having excelled in delivering all these services, this resulted in us being commended for our swift and smooth support services. We’ll now be entering new countries in Africa to further develop major projects in the oil and gas and renewable energies spaces. Mobilise your talent with WRS  Are you looking to get your workers to the right destination?

Although the project was in Spain, as there were a few British contractors involved, WRS was able to assist. The decommissioned asset was older – meaning the team had to ensure everything was safe and environmentally sound while ‘keeping it alive’ for at least another three or four years. Our team took care of the whole recruitment process – from identifying top talent and onboarding to ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations. We ensured the workers we hired were highly skilled and competent to make sure the project ran smoothly and saved the client money.

I know from firsthand experience that it’s a collaborative environment, where we work on projects that impact the business together, taking everyone’s ideas onboard.

  • ​Since joining WRS straight out of University in July 2021, I made the move from Teesside to Manchester to become a part of the Oil and Gas recruitment team as a Trainee Consultant. Working alongside the experienced consultants in the team has been incredibly beneficial, as they provided me with valuable training and industry insights. Thanks to their support, I successfully placed my first job and have since flourished in European recruitment. One aspect I truly appreciate about my journey at WRS is the level of trust and freedom I've been given in my role. This trust in my abilities allowed me to transition into Business Development after just 18 months. I've now been in this role for 8 months and I must say, I absolutely love it. What makes it even better is the clear progression plan laid out for me, providing exciting opportunities to grow our core business and even travel across Europe for client meetings. I feel incredibly fortunate to be in a position where I can take on new challenges and explore exciting opportunities. The support and encouragement from WRS have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth over the past 2 years. I am genuinely excited about what the future holds, watch this space.

I began as a trainee recruitment consultant in November, and with the ongoing support of WRS and the incredible oil and gas team, I successfully passed probation in February, earning the title of recruitment consultant. Since then, I've been on an exhilarating path toward becoming the Expat/Client Liaison Manager for the highly anticipated EACOP project in Dar es Salaam. This is an exciting project to be a part of, an opportunity to broaden my experience and develop my skills in a new environment. The prospect of this new role fills me with excitement and anticipation. It's a fantastic opportunity to showcase my skills and contribute to this groundbreaking project. As I prepare to mobilise to Tanzania at the end of September, I'm filled with a mix of nervousness and eagerness. It's the start of a new chapter in my life, one that promises adventure and growth. I'm grateful for the trust and support WRS has placed in me, and I'm determined to make the most of this exciting journey ahead.

  • ​In March 2022 when I was looking for a career change/ new opportunity, the first name that came to my mind was WRS. I preferred WRS due to its sheer market knowledge and trust developed over a period of time in the oil and gas industry.I was surprisingly delighted to know that WRS had identified a job opportunity with a major operator which met all my expectations. WRS also provided me with all the job details and client expectations which helped me to qualify for the interview. I was offered the new Job position by May 2022.The entire recruitment process was swiftly completed within 3 months’ time. I am currently enjoying my new Expat permanent staff position with a Major operator in Dubai City. I appreciate WRS for their responsive support and how they maintained good communication with me throughout the recruitment and onboarding processes. I would definitely recommend WRS to new candidates who are looking for excellent career opportunities with reputable companies in the oil and gas industry to excel in their careers.

  • ​My experience working with David Hanley has been great. Since the beginning of the process of contracting me, he has always been very clear about what the client needed and expected from me. He also tried at any time to get the best deal for me.He took the time of answering all my emails containing questions or doubts about the job. He is a very patient person and called me when I had troubles understanding some parts of the contract. He always calls to see how everything is going or to see if I need something.This is my first time with a Contract from a company outside my country and I am glad to say that the experience had been very good.

  • ​For two years now I've had business relations with WRS and my experience is more than positive.Helping me from the first contact, guiding me through the employment process, and assisting me during my working period. Always willing to help, with a positive attitude, alerting me to any kind of possible changes or trouble related to my employment.I've never experienced any problems or delays with my salary, receiving messages promptly about schedule changes or other. WRS's people regularly contacted me to ask about my work and possible troubles and offer assistance of any kind with my employer. I liked best the positive approach and readiness to help.In my long engineering career, I have been working in many countries, directly employed or working as a contractor over different agencies, having good or not-so-good experiences.But what sets WRS apart from all others is more than professional relations. I've never experienced such a caring and willing to help relation and this is why I wish to continue with WRS for future opportunities.

Money was on time, always responsive to emails, and also periodic communication to confirm if there was anything needed from the consultant. This included check-ins on how the project was going.Compared to other agencies I have worked through, WRS is by far the best and a breath of fresh air.All the best for the future and once again pass my thanks on to all the team.

  • ​I was contacted by WRS for a position at a startup Solar Energy company based in Israel but operating in the U.S. Communication, the interview process, and the overall experience was very easy and simple with WRS. Working with John, I always knew where I stood within the process and am happy that I was able to work with a company that puts their candidates first. I would recommend anyone interested in looking for qualified candidates give WRS an opportunity to fulfill their needs.

  • ​I worked with John at WRS to land my current position. John found me through LinkedIn when I was looking to transition into a position that better fit my skills and experience. When John reached out initially, I was hesitant about the role he presented because I wanted to start negotiating at a higher rate than what was being offered. But John believed the company needed what I had to offer and that he could negotiate on my behalf. I put my trust in John and he delivered. I appreciate that he listened to what I wanted in a role and where I was headed career-wise, and was intuitive enough to see that the company and I would be a great match with some work on his part. I am very happy in my current position and the company are very happy with my work. So its safe to say, John was right!

  • ​I started at WRS almost 12 years ago with only a years’ experience in recruitment and zero knowledge of the energy sectors. I was given a PC, a phone, and a directive to go and explore the contract hire market in the Oil & Gas sector. Fast forward 12 years on and I am the Global Business Development Manager for the WRS Group, working across all our Energy divisions. I’ve spent time working in and developing all of our international offices. I am the client lead for most of our major accounts and more recently I have become a Director of our Joint venture businesses in East Africa. One of the key factors of my success is the autonomy the business has allowed me whilst constantly supporting the development work I have produced. Every step of the way our CEO and senior management team have been behind me to assess the opportunities coming to the table and make the right decisions on which to pursue. Together we have built and developed the international side of the group from a starting point of 10 people in South Manchester to our current standpoint of 5 global offices and a headcount approaching 100 people. I couldn't imagine working for another company. This is my home; this is my business, and this is where my heart is. Who we are and the work we do here at WRS defines us. The key to our success is the level of service we provide to our customers and candidates. Our reputation precedes us, and our client testimonials continue to verify this.

  • ​At WRS the egos are left at the door and the team ethic and attitude comes to the fore in every interaction, we are all pulling in the same direction and that sense is palpable. Recruitment should be a meritocracy and this company exemplifies that. A good idea is a good idea and will be given due consideration regardless of who has it which means you are able to chat as openly with the company founders as you can with your peers. WRS trust their people, the autonomy you are afforded as an individual is extremely gratifying and the opportunity to progress is genuine and achievable.

  • ​My career started with WRS in February 2019. During my first year as a recruitment consultant, I began with the mining team, before moving onto oil & gas, and then eventually moving into the trading and commodities division. This initial 12 months of working across multiple divisions taught me a lot about recruitment across the energies space, both permanent and contract. Having the chance to experience our different sectors, twinned with the learning and development opportunities that WRS provide, enabled me to gain the cross-sector knowledge that I still utilise today.The impact of Covid-19 across the energy and recruitment market in 2020, gave me the opportunity to diversify again and my focus moved to growing the renewable energy division at WRS. I have always had a keen interest in sustainability and doing my bit to support the efforts against climate change, so I embraced this new role. In a 360 capacity, my aim was to create and build relationships with new and existing clients across the renewable energy space, and work alongside our new recruits to build our global team. As our client relationships and roles began to grow, the team also grew, and we are now a fully functioning team of 8 experienced consultants who all contribute to the success of the division. Our project scope and recruitment services now span internationally across all key areas of the renewable energy industry, and we have continuing success in placing candidates across international roles. WRS provide consistent opportunities such as; learning and professional development courses where possible, and international travel for various conferences, events, and client meetings. Following on from my success, my role is due to change again this year. In July 2022 I will move into a focused Business Development capacity and take a step out of recruitment. I am excited for what the future holds in this role, and with the continued support of the WRS Senior Management Team the future growth of the renewable energy team.

  • ​I have worked at Worldwide Recruitment Solutions Ltd for 3.5 years as an Account Manager within the Marine Division. Having come from a financial solutions background the world of recruitment was completely new to me, however I haven’t looked back since!From my very first day at WRS the company were so welcoming and have been very supportive over the last few years, I can honestly say the team are not just colleagues, but have become friends too. I genuinely love my job although there are certainly challenging days and weeks. My role entails liaising and building relationships with clients and crew, issuing contracts, arranging travel, visas and any required training, keeping the rota and pay tables updated, processing timesheets and expenses, and any other general queries.WRS are a great company to work for, the management team are approachable, open and honest in all situations, and are always looking to promote within. I have recently been promoted to Principle Account Manager so am delighted my hard work has paid off and been recognised.

  • ​“I joined WRS in 2015 after working in recruitment at another company. From my recruitment experience, I knew that my preference and skillset lay on the candidate side (rather than the clients), so when I saw an opportunity to join WRS as the Internal Recruiter, focusing on candidates who wanted to join WRS as Recruiters, I thought it was a perfect opportunity for me. My role has changed massively since then and I love the fact that I can look back with satisfaction on a varied career with WRS which has challenged me every day. Today I head up HR. WRS didn’t have an official ‘HR’ department before I set it up, so I’ve worked hard to create this function within the business and make it an integral part of our operations. This has seen me move onto the Senior Management Team (SMT) in the last two years. I enjoy playing a part in the team that leads WRS, as I’m so passionate about this business and supporting the people in it. At WRS, the message is simple – if you have the right attitude and application, you will be rewarded. These rewards will come in the form of salary increases, promotions, additional responsibility, trust, flexibility, incentives, bonuses… The list is endless. I have been given opportunities I never thought possible when I started here in 2015, and there is more to come as we continue to grow.”

  • My journey with WRS started in May 2021when Covid restrictions were starting to lift. I moved from Derry in Northern Ireland to Manchester to join WRS as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant with no prior experience or knowledge in Recruitment or the Marine sector. From day one I was given extensive training from our dedicated L&D department, which gave me the foundations of Recruitment. I also got support from a mentor, in my case an experienced Recruiter called Stuart, who honed my knowledge in the Marine industry. Thankfully with the training and advice given to me, I was able to make a quick start as a recruiter, achieving some early success by making my first placement within my first 2 weeks. I noticed quickly that recruitment wasn’t always full of highs, there were many challenges to overcome too. The continuous weekly support meetings with HR and Stuart provided me a regular platform to continually develop and in just 4 months I was promoted to Recruitment consultant. By December of the same year, I was given an opportunity to work within the Business Development team. My initial training in BD was provided by L&D - it was like starting anew once again! I was impressed with the support I received in my training which really prepares you for every aspect of your recruitment career. Our Head of HR, Emma, checked in with me weekly in my new role while we continued to do regular BD training sessions. There are many challenges in Business Development that I am learning to overcome, and Matthew Spells and Scott Redfern, my two colleagues on the BD team, are always ready to give me advice whenever I need assistance – it’s amazing to tap into their 20+ years of Maritime BD experience. I am looking forward to continuing my business development career as I know I am only at the start of this long journey. With the guidance of my colleagues at WRS, I know I will always have the support I need at hand.

  • ​WRS has given me the opportunity to continue working in the industry I love. Before I joined, I was working as a Marine officer but decided I wanted a change. I was sure I could use my previous experience to become a successful recruiter. With the guidance and support of WRS I have progressed from Trainee to Senior Recruitment Consultant and am a mentor to many of our new starters in the division. Working with a great bunch of people really helps and I enjoy the variety my role offers. Having the responsibility of training and mentoring new employees has helped my growth significantly and I am thankful to WRS for giving me the opportunity. What’s also great about working at WRS is the flexibility which enables me to split my time between home and the office, I do like to work remotely but also love being with the team where we can share our experiences.

Since day one, the communication was honest and transparent to make the onboarding process the smoothest possible. In fact, not only sending emails explaining all the details but also follow up telephone calls to ensure that all the questions that I may have are answered.

The Contractor Care Manager has always been in touch with me either by emails or phone calls. He’s always available to answer my queries. The payroll process has been for me the smoothest one I could ask for. It does take less than a week to process the payment from the date of timesheet submission.Team WRS has been dependable, and incredibly efficient in every way.Without a doubt, I confidently recommend WRS for personnel recruitment and contract management.

Everyone works hard but also has fun along the way. The company social events are amazing, and it’s lovely to feel rewarded for your hard work. I’ve received lots of support from the CEO, who is a great mentor and I have learnt so much from him. He’s there when I need advice but also steps back and allows me to work autonomously as well. We have regular 1 to 1s which is useful to assess how I have performed. WRS have a flexible approach when it comes to working from home and I really enjoy the hybrid approach. I love being in the office with my colleagues to bounce ideas off each other and have some banter! I also enjoy the quietness of working from home when I really need to concentrate.
