Hi Nykster,

Congratulation for being a BH employee. However thanks for your information. I will update the forum if I hear anything from my recruiter (so far no news from them though )

No problem.

Nykster:


I was offered a job with Baker Hughes, yet when I log onto my profile (on a computer), it says "Declined". On a cellphone "Complete". I would hazard a guess and say it isn't an issue. But rather contact your recruiter and find out whether your application is still under consideration.

When did it happened? Did you attend BHE first?

Hi Nykster,
Have you attended BHE first? What country are you from?

Hi Nykster,
Have you attended BHE first? What country are you from?

Yes BHE attended end of August. In Nairobi, Kenya. I'm from Mozambique. I think the oil low prices might be the reason there is no activity. Meanwhile, I'm going to further my education whilst I wait - never rely on an oil and gas company. Move on with your life and if they contact you good! If they don't, at least you didn't wait. These people are callous and only driven by profits. Don't be a victim of theirs.

I called BH in Nigeria today, and I have been toldththey start sending emails early january.

Is that for Baker Hughes Experience?

How truthful do you think they were being? I've learnt these people tell you what you want to hear atimes... But nonetheless, something to look forward to.

Hello people,

I just heard from a very close source in the O&G that oil service companies the world over have frozen recruiting and hiring - I personally know someone who was retrenched... So I think it's best to temporarily (for 2015 at least) get the words "Baker Hughes" out of your vocabulary. Just thought you'd like to know...

You may be right but with low or high oil prices they are certain jobs that must be done. Some companies will still recruit...

Yeah that might be true, but not Graduate Field Engineers. I'm pretty sure that explains the sustained silence.

In my opinion I feel that the acquisition is what is stalling the recruitment process, although pursue other endeavours but I trust they would soon start contacting people, true there will be reduction in exploration investment but I doubt if the big 3 soon to be big 2 will be out of exploration jobs so bad that they won't want to recruit a graduate workforce for knowledge transfer and training to meet up with future energy exploration demands

The thing is they did it before (in '09). There was was a hiring freeze and several layoffs. You can google for yourself...

Ok...sharp!!!!

Hey fellas,
After consulting my account today, I just observed that a new section "for emails sent to you by BH" has been added, where you can have access to emails sent you so far.Which could mean that they had a look at our accounts.I know for sure that that section for emails was not there before (last week).
However, who can confirm this observation?
Sorry, I know that is not you want to hear....but keep hope...

Cheers

Hey Guys,,i'm new here, however got some inputs..i did apply for 2015 field engineer in Chad..got contacted last month by a recruiter regarding some nationality background check..my status still saying "evaluation n progress". I'm US citizen, originally from Chad. She asked me if i have the right to work back in Chad, and i replied yes ( i can reapply for dual citizenship).Since then, havent heard back from her? any of u guys in the same basket as far as nationality and recruiter initial contact?

you did the digital interview?

.

yes, i did the digital interview

Nodji:
yes, i did the digital interview

Well i guess that's a very good sign for you, just have some patience they will contact you soon i guess

ice1990:
Hi all! I applied a little over 4 months ago and last i heard from them was regarding my english test couple of days ago. Considering I am from a non-English speaking country, I sat the assigned test within the 5 day frame.

Having passed it, i have yet to hear back from them regarding BHE. From scrolling thru most posts in glassdoor, whirlpool au and ofcourse Nairaland, I feel that the process will take a bit more time than one would hope for. Therefore, my sincere advice is that: Don't lose hope and if any of us make it, it'd be pretty cool to make connections with future BH employees from around the globe! In the mean time, look at other prospects or temporary engagements.

if any of you hear back from BH, please keep this part of the forum alive.

Regards,
Ice1990

where are you from ?

Nodji:
yes, i did the digital interview

Then you did the english test? If yes, when exactly did you do it?

So you mean you have been contacted in December. ..was it early december? Mid-december or late December? ...we just want to see if they (BH)have been active recently.

Cheers

Have anyone noticed that the majority of the graduate field engineer positions have been removed from the site ? In europe ,usa and russia for example
