FAQ

   
 

What is the purpose of GeoBRAINS?

The purpose is to serve companies, geoscientists and petroleum engineers by presenting all relevant

career information in one portal. Thus saving a lot of time and web search for geopetro professionals

and candidates who are looking for opportunities to develop their careers. Until now, job ads have been

scattered all over the internet, making it difficult to achieve a complete picture of available vacancies.

Students and candidates at the universities and colleges are of particular consern, due to the fact that

they are fresh to the industry as well as attractive to the companies.

 

Who are the readers of GeoBRAINS?

Our vision is to make GeoBRAINS a preferred starting point for professional geoscientists looking

for career development, engineers in the georesources and petroleum industry, and candidates from

the relevant profession studies at the universities. In this respect, we emphasize quality rather than

quantity. Based on the huge candidate portfolio and database developed by BRAINS, and the head-

hunting business that makes up the fundament of our consultancy services, we actually call and email

each and every relevant candidate, and make them visit the GeoBRAINS site regularly to keep updated

on opportunities. Candidates contacting BRAINS for jobs are always directed to this site, as one of

several services performed by us for job-seekers.

 

Are these pages for Norwegian applicants only?

No. GeoBRAINS is a dot-com site aimed at serving the industry internationally. Keep in mind that

more than half of the Master and PhD students at Norwegian geoscience and petroleum technology

studies come from abroad, representing nations like Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, India, China, Japan, Spain,

Russia, Sweden, UK, USA, Canada, and many more. Companies from all over the world are invited

to contacr BRAINS for candidates. Every day we break new barriers in our communication with

representatives for the industry world-wide.

 

What´s the difference between BRAINS and GeoBRAINS?

BRAINS is the owner of GeoBRAINS. BRAINS is a Norwegian recruitment consultancy based in

Trondheim, a city nicknamed "The "Technology Capitol". BRAINS is primarily a head-hunting enterprize,

carrying out search and selection of candidates for positions in companies exploring and producing

mineral and petroleum resources, as well as career counselling. All services for candidates are free.

The owner of BRAINS has education and professional background from The Norwegian University of

Science and Technology, which is also located in Trondheim. Our business is actually at the very levy

of technology candidates educated in Norway.

 

What about submitting personal information?

Security measures is also behind our recommendation that candidates and applicants always

and only should submit their personal data in the way requested by each company, based on the

instructions given in the respective company´s career pages and advertisements. CVs and private

documents sent to BRAINS on email or otherwise, are immediately moved to a computer with no

connection to the internet. That´s how careful we are.

 

Why are there no payment involved for candidates?

All services for candidates and applicants are free of charge. BRAINS is not taking part in the cynical

utilization of newly educated students or candidates being in the process of looking for a new job.

We make a living from serving the industry and the companies in a way that makes them our satisfied

customers and partners. Investing in our services means adding value to recruitment campaigns

and to the exploration divisions responsible for the critical parts of companies´ activities. Like the

critical task of understanding geological formations and subsequently finding oil.

 

If anyone claims payment on our behalf, it´s a fraud.

 

What about appointments?

GeoBRAINS is pointing candidates and applicants in the right direction. Appointing employees

is completely a matter taken care of by each company´s HR services, unless otherwise contracted

with BRAINS. For recruitment and head-hunting services, please contact BRAINS.

 

Thanks.
