From Volume to Precision

Most systems stop at keyword matching. Our AI hiring software applies structured, role-aware scoring to separate noise from value and surface engineers who can contribute from day one.

Key outcome: 4 elite candidates scored 8.3, 8.3, 7.0, and 6.5 (average 7.5) with 17–27 years of experience.

How We Evaluate

Every applicant is scored 0–10 against six checkpoints calibrated for Well Services roles:

Well Service Program Development Onshore Well Service Operations Technical Support & Problem Solving Industry & Role-Specific Experience Regulatory & Standards Compliance Project Planning & Execution Leadership

Checkpoint Score Distribution

This Merimeko-style view shows the population at each checkpoint by score band: most applicants sit in 3–7; relatively few reach 8–10, where day-one impact is likely.

Precision Skills That Matter

  • Well intervention — Restores integrity and production; critical for uptime and safety.
  • Completion — Equips wells for efficient, safe flow; direct driver of performance.
  • Reservoir engineering — Aligns well work with long-term recovery strategies.
  • Petroleum engineering — End-to-end technical rigor across drilling, completions, production.
  • Drilling engineering — Plans and executes wells optimizing cost, safety, and ROP.
  • Well testing — Converts field data into performance decisions.
  • Stimulation — Enhances productivity (fracturing, acidizing) to unlock potential.
  • Workover — Extends well life via maintenance and reactivation.
  • Project management — Governs planning, risk, and delivery.

Why It Matters

  • Volume ≠ Quality: 490 applicants only become useful with contextual scoring.
  • Reduced Risk: Elite scores across compliance and execution cut onboarding risk.
  • Faster Time-to-Value: Shortlists focus on engineers ready to contribute immediately.
