What does an oil and gas staffing agency do?
An oil and gas staffing agency sources, screens, verifies, and presents qualified upstream, midstream, and downstream professionals to employers. GlobalCybers is a permanent-only oil and gas staffing agency, every placement is a full-time, direct hire onto your payroll, never a turnaround contract crew. We verify AWS certifications and 6G pipe qualifications against the registry and the accredited test facility, confirm TWIC cards for regulated waterfront access, and check NCCCO and OSHA 30 before any shortlist is delivered. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12–20% of first-year salary on a successful hire only.
Need a permanent core crew instead of churning turnaround labour?
Here is why direct placement usually costs less over an operating year: a contract crew's hourly markup (typically 35–60%) is charged on every hour for as long as the seat stays open, and each rotation means re-badging, a fresh booth test, re-verifying TWIC, and re-running site-specific PSM orientation. A permanent, cert-verified hire is a one-time fee, holds your code quals and unit knowledge on file, and stays through the next turnaround instead of leaving with it.

Roles We Place
18+ Oil & Gas Roles, Permanent Placement
Credential Verification
Every Licence & Cert Verified Before Delivery
Unverified candidates never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
AWS Certification & Weld-Test Records
AWS Certified Welder cards confirmed against the AWS registry, and position and process qualifications (3G, 4G, 6G) confirmed with the accredited test facility that ran them. No US state licenses welders, so certification and the weld-test record are the credentials that decide who can work your pressure scope.
Code Qualifications: ASME IX & AWS D1.1
Pressure and pipe qualifications (ASME Section IX) and structural qualifications (AWS D1.1) matched to the code your unit is built to, with the supporting weld-test records checked rather than self-reported.
TWIC & Site Access
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential is federally required for unescorted access to regulated waterfront facilities, which covers most Gulf Coast refineries, terminals, and LNG sites. We confirm TWIC status before shortlist, so a candidate is not turned away at the gate on day one.
OSHA 30, PSM & H2S
OSHA 30 cards verified against DOL-authorised provider records, with process-safety exposure screened against OSHA's Process Safety Management standard (29 CFR 1910.119) and H2S Awareness confirmed for sour-service field work.
NCCCO, NCCER & Rigging
Crane operator certification verified via the official NCCCO Operator Registry with crane-type endorsement and expiry confirmed, plus NCCER craft credentials for millwrights, riggers, and instrument technicians.
Background, Drug & E-Verify
County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, with DOT and safety-sensitive drug panels aligned to your site policy, and Form I-9 with E-Verify confirmed before start date.

Employer Value
What an Unfilled Oil & Gas Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An open pipe welder or E&I seat stalls a unit, a tie-in, or a turnaround window that cannot be moved. Here is what the delay costs, and how every GlobalCybers placement removes it.
A verified 3–5 shortlist of certified candidates lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks an open seat pushes a tie-in or a turnaround window.
AWS certifications, 6G quals, and TWIC cards are confirmed with the registry or issuing authority before you see a profile, so candidates pass the booth test and get through the gate.
Pay only when you hire, at 12–20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous hiring, with no per-hire fee.
If a placement leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free, so one wrong hire does not cost you a turnaround.
Proof & Results
Trusted by Oil & Gas Employers
Operators, EPC contractors, and midstream companies use GlobalCybers to fill cert-verified craft and technical roles that keep units running.
“Three 6G pipe welders for a turnaround window, every qual verified with the test facility and every TWIC checked first. All three passed our booth test the same day.”
“We had an E&I technician seat open for a quarter. Their shortlist was licence- and NFPA 70E-verified, and the hire was on the unit inside three weeks.”
“RPO across our Permian mechanic and tanker-driver hiring. Flat fee, DOT panels and endorsements checked before interviews, and turnover is down by half.”
