GLOBAL staffing partner JAB Recruitment has announced a string of senior appointments across its Aberdeen and Houston offices..

And in a further boost, the UK and US-based company has leveraged cutting-edge technology to launch its own mobile app partnering with technology company Moblyze Inc – matching the best talent with the most sought-after roles, assisting the largest employers in the energy industry reach and attract skilled candidates.

To support its international growth ambitions, it has announced several key appointments. JAB co-founder Chris Black has taken on the newly-created role of Chief Growth Officer to reflect his expertise in this field, while Colin Mackie moves from Vice President Americas to become Chief Operating Officer.

Elsewhere, Louisiana-based Tosha Pennison has been promoted to Vice President – Subsea & Marine, and in Aberdeen, UK, Shaun Garrathy joins from NES Fircroft as Regional Manager for EMEA.

Andrew Ramsay, JAB Recruitment’s Chief Executive Officer said: “I’m incredibly proud of our global team and excited about what our new people can bring to help grow the business and support more energy sector employers.

“It is a challenging recruitment market, but investing in the best technology sets JAB apart, and empowers us to redefine the way that talent and opportunity connect. Harnessing AI and marketplace technology and applying it to the staffing market through the launch of our own mobile app, helps to streamline the process and drive great outcomes for our clients.”

The Dundee-founded company, which incorporates the executive search business Ramsay Black, has seen a 60% increase in UK revenue and a 35% increase in US revenue over the last 18 months, and is investing $1 million as it aims to treble its multi-million-dollar revenue and double its head count to 60 within three years.

With a client list exceeding 350 and locations in the UK, Houston, Louisiana and Calgary, the recruitment partner has been connecting global operators and tier one service companies with the right talent for more than 20 years and facilitates more than 1,000 placements annually.

Andrew added: “Global operators and leading international service companies need a global recruitment partner – that’s JAB. We understand the requirements of the international energy market and we are using the latest technology to deliver an unmatched service to our clients.

“We’ve seen record growth for our UK business, coupled with accelerated growth in the Gulf of Mexico subsea and marine sectors. In just three years in the region, we’ve moved from a standing start to being recognised as one of the leading recruitment specialists. Today, we work with 90% of subsea construction, repair, and maintenance companies in the Gulf.

“Between our recent technology advances and investments in our own people, we’re matching our ambitions, fostering strong relationships, and providing a suite of tailored services to meet the needs of the global energy industry.”
