There are rumours that Shell recruitment process is flawed in terms of ethnicity as they regularly pick more candidates from the west than any other area in Nigeria. What is your take on this?

In your SITP group, what is the predominant ethnic group?

Sorry to go offtopic, but I hear that among other reasons (including debt owed by the govt and niger delta crisis causing a drop in production level) this was one of the reasons behind the full scale retrenchment exercise that was to take place. Apparently the exercise has been cancelled due to external pressure from the President, NNPC and House of Reps.

I wouldn't say shell's process is flawed because of ethnicity, i just believe the recruitment process is only a reflection of the country we live in.

Ethnicity is a very important part of Nigeria, and this division shows its head from the day you write common entrance, sit for jamb examinations to get into university, receive scholarships in university, and continues straight through to the process of getting a job.There is always one form of quota system rooted firmly on ethnicity, while this may not seem very healthy it's a necessary evil to achieving a form of balance in the country and it will keep on being an important part of the country for some time to come.

It would be almost impossible for a multinational (especially one that has its operations  tied down to the vital part of Nigeria's economy- oil )operating in Nigeria who will not take the peculiarities of the Nigerian environment into consideration.

Rather than say flawed, I'd say it is aware of the Nigerian factor and really for any organisation to be successful it has to incorporate the environment into its overall corprate strategy, which of course involves its human resource strategy. Call it unfair but yeah people from the Niger delta will be given some sort of preference, either in the number of people they hire, or less stringent requirements,

so i wouldn't be shocked or surprised if texxazpete says they have more western people in his programme

somze:

I hear that among other reasons this was one of the reasons behind the full scale retrenchment exercise that was to take place.

I disagree with you on this, i doubt if ongoing restructuring has anything to do with wanting to hire more people from the west,  from what i understood it was purely efficiency driven, shell is trying to streamline jobs through its ONE Shell project, which of course is an off shoot of the vandalising of their vessels, Niger delta crises, debts owed to suppliers and a series of other things

But of course people within the walls of shell will have a clearer and firmer grasp on the situation, but even then people's opinions generally differ on the subject,

guess we just have to wait and see how the story unfolds.

well folks we are into the last week of shells 2 weeks grace to contact the rest of the SITP 1 hopefuls. me lol I am tired of waiting,

please shell HR let us know waz up and contact us Monday, Tuesday or at most Friday this week, those of u who have got HR's nos , should call them oo.

I know the feeling jare, atleasy you sitp folks have had some form of feedback, we hr/fin folks are just hanging jare,

but what can we do, but wait and pray of course, everything is in God's hands and what is meant to be will be, i tend to think that way these days because it helps me worry less about things, if not i for don die with hypertension on top waiting for shell, lol

I can just imagine the tension you must be going through especially now that people have gotten offer letters and even rejection letters, but just keep having faith and believing in God, at this point that's the best thing to do.

Take it easy angela and whatever happens just know that God indeed knows best.

Cheers

hmm, hey everyone, been asking the same question for the past 1 week now but no one seems to remember me , lol but its ok, i guess alot of people are worried and more interested about hearing from shell right now rather than questions concerning life at edjeba,

dunno how many of y'all this will help but i got some info from inside shell n it so happens their gonna close this yrs SITP 1 recruiting 1st week of march, which pretty much means if you havent heard from them then, then,

i guess what am trying to say is theres still a lil bit of hope ok guys, so everyone keep your head up n keep praying aight, theres always a way, if not now, then really soon

@2good
whats up man been trying to call you for ages, how you been?? hope your not takin it too hard on yourself, was kinda under the impression you had heard something, stay positive man, from your posts you seem to have given up?? stay in there, remember, persistence,

@robbielex
must admit, you reallly are doing a great job of keeping this thread alive man, there are somtimes i come on and their like 3-4 consecutive posts from you, and that really is motivating, lol, believe me,anyways great job once again, apparently you havent even heard anything from shell also and you still do what you do, wow!!!!

@rave
hope it wasnt d day you got your offer letter that you decided to say 'yes' ohh, lol, jus kiddin, just remember to keep us in your plans ohh, make we all celebrate together, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Once again to all hopefulls, keep your head up ok, goodnight all,

@ successfuls

Don't abandon the thread o! Remember the days of your waiting,

Cheers y'all

Dear hopefuls, lets keep praying and believing God for the best. i'm nt regular bt will try to remain.
