HR-outsourcing in Natural resources sector

Abstract

The article analyzes HR outsourcing market in the Natural resource sector. This industry is profitable, but it is characterized by a lack of staff due to the educational drop of the 1990s - 2000s and the number of young specialists in this sector has not still been restored. The rapid technological development of the Natural resource sector requires constant training of staff, which is hampered by many factors: long operating cycles of deposits without changing technologies, natural outflow of experienced employees due to aging, remoteness of locations, and a pandemic. The research underlines that today recruitment agencies are not able to satisfy the search and selection service for the Natural resource sector. The observed general trend of HR outsourcing towards process management and personnel training is relevant in the Natural resource sector even more than in other industries, especially in the area of personnel training. Thus, there is a certain process of transformation of the education system in this industry. It requires new models of training young personnel and retraining the existing personnel, probably using lifetime learning technologies.
