Houston, TX – Core Group Consulting is pleased to announce the addition of Dan Kist to its team of expert consultants, bringing extensive experience in marine technology, subsea systems, and industrial automation.

Picture this: A veteran drilling engineer with 15 years of experience walks into HR and hands in their resignation. Within months, three more follow. Sound familiar? In an industry where a single mistake can cost millions or impact the environment for generations, the exodus of experienced talent isn't just an HR headache—it's an existential threat. 

The September 2024 employment figures reveal encouraging signs of economic resilience, with total nonfarm payroll employment increasing by 254,000 jobs—significantly exceeding the 12-month average of 203,000. This robust growth suggests the labor market may be entering a new phase of expansion.

Core Group Resources (CGR), a leader in providing personnel in heavy industries by identifying, hiring, and growing the right talent, is pleased to announce the incorporation of Core Nations, Inc., a company established under Guyanese law, fully compliant with the Local Content Act of 2021. This expansion marks Core Group’s second international foray after entering Trinidad and Tobago earlier this year.  Local operations in Guyana will focus on urgent labor demands as energy projects continue to thrive in the region and growth continues in oil and gas exploration, in addition to serving the maritime, construction and mining industries.

In recent years, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have become key metrics for assessing a company’s sustainability and social impact.  This shift is particularly becoming evident in the oil and gas sector, where companies are increasingly prioritizing not just environmental considerations, but social and governance as well.
