Questions

Questions from contractors.

How much does it cost and how is it billed?

It depends on the model. Volume recruitment is paid on hire: you pay only when each person starts. The specialised search is a fixed-price project, with an advance to start and the balance on hiring. The replacement programme combines a monthly fee with a fee per hire.

If I hire several people from the same search, do I pay several times?

With the recruitment advertising service, no: the fee is fixed and does not move with the result. If you end up hiring three people from that same search, you pay the same as if you hire one. That said, it is worth being clear: with this service, the client carries the outcome risk. We publish, attract and organise the applications, but we cannot guarantee which candidates will apply.

I have won a purchase order and need the crew for next month. Can you make it?

The shortlist is presented within 14 to 21 days and a technical search is filled in around 30. For volume hiring with staggered start dates, the coverage plan is built around your schedule, not ours. What we do not do is say yes and then tell you two months later that we could not make it: if the timeline or the salary band is not viable, we raise it before we start.

What happens if the person leaves after two months?

The specialised search comes with a 90-day guarantee: we run the process again at no additional fee. In volume recruitment, the guarantee is agreed per candidate within the coverage plan.

Do you run mass recruitment in Vaca Muerta?

Yes. At Estudio Sánchez Salas we run volume recruitment for contractors and service companies in Vaca Muerta: between 20 and 100+ technicians with staggered start dates, in campaigns of 60 to 120 days, with a dedicated team and a weekly report. The coverage plan is built around your contract schedule, and you pay only when each person starts.

Which technical profiles have you already recruited for?

Welders, electromechanical technicians, mechanics, instrument technicians, drivers, operatives and supervisors, among others. The Human Resources search record lists the ones we published in trades and maintenance, upstream operational maintenance, drilling, well completion, logistics and gas and oil production. The search box on this page tells you how many times we have run your role.

Can I contact you on WhatsApp?

Yes. On the sales WhatsApp or by phone, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm: one of our managers reviews what you need and replies with scope, timeline and fees. If it is urgent, WhatsApp is the fastest channel; through the form, we reply within 24 business hours.
