We Keep It Simple
Helping a European Energy Leader Scale with the Right Talent
A leading oil and gas company in Europe was scaling fast but facing challenges in hiring and retaining the skilled workforce needed to keep up with project demands. Tight deadlines and a highly specialized talent market made recruitment a constant struggle. That’s when they turned to N2S, a trusted staffing partner with proven experience in the energy sector.


Workforce Gaps Were Slowing Down Progress
The client was under pressure to deliver a large-scale project on time—but they were short on skilled professionals across several critical roles. With growing competition in the European energy market and limited internal resources for recruitment, they needed a partner who could move quickly without compromising on quality.
Retention was also an issue. The nature of work in oil and gas—highly skilled, technically complex, and often site-based—made it difficult to keep good people engaged for the long term.
N2S Delivered a Flexible, Localised Solution
Understanding that one-size-fits-all wouldn’t work here, N2S took a tailored approach. Our team spent time with key stakeholders to understand not just job descriptions, but also project timelines, cultural fit, and retention risks.
We then tapped into our European talent network and began placing qualified candidates within days—people with the exact skills and certifications needed. Beyond hiring, we worked with the client to build a strong retention strategy that included better onboarding, clear role expectations, and feedback loops that kept employees engaged.

N2S played a key role in supporting the client’s innovation and long-term growth
With the help of the N2S, the client met their project deadline without compromising quality. More importantly, turnover dropped, and teams reported higher job satisfaction across the board.
By finding and keeping the right people, the company didn’t just meet targets—they were able to focus on driving innovation and expanding their footprint across Europe’s competitive energy market.
