Lindeners take advantage of El Dorado offshore recruitment drive  

Lindeners took advantage of a recruitment drive recently conducted by El Dorado Offshore (EDO) Inc in their community. Over 100 residents were part of the job fair initiative, which was hosted at the Linden Technical Institute (LTI) at Mackenzie, with many expressing how happy they were to be given opportunity to supply their credentials with a possibility of securing employment.
The company’s Crew Change Coordinator Jacqueline Persaud explained that El Dorado Offshore is a recruitment agency which not only supplies manpower for clients in the oil and gas industry, such as ExxonMobil, but various other sectors.
“At El Dorado Offshore, we recruit for the oil and gas industry. We recruit persons both on shore and offshore to work. Some of the offshore positions that we recruit for are the ordinary sailors, able-body sailors…maids, and we recruit for cooks. We also do some onshore positions for our clients; for example, logistics coordinator or pipeline coordinator. That’s just an example of some of the onshore positions that we recruit for,” she said.
She added that applications are placed in a database which is supplied to clients.
“So when we have a position that we need to recruit for, we would shortlist based on the requirements – what we are looking for; and we basically start the recruitment process with the candidates, and supply them to our clients,” Persaud further related.
She added that as more potential employers come to Guyana, they would seek out EDO Inc for general recruitment services.
Meanwhile, the company’s Human Resources Manager, Sheri Farrell, said the response from Lindeners was quite good, with over 100 applications having been received.
