The March Round-up
The Covid19 pandemic definitely brought unexpected changes to many lives this March, and repercussions felt in the business world. On balance, ABN Resource managed to continue business as usual, and our use of “i-intro” candidate delivery platform has really helped candidates and companies to get their key hires made. For us “partnerships” is the one word that reflects March.
ln case you missed the announcements last month we shifted our business focus, wrapped up 6 new exciting partnerships around the globe. We have been keeping good spirits and doing everything to support our clients and candidates from our home offices, keeping to our values of Service, Delivery, Perseverance, and Trust.
The month of strategic decisions
Last month, we made a strategic decision to shift our focus solely on the downstream market sectors of lubricants, fuels, and trading. We will be no longer working within the midstream oil industry and specifically the pipeline market. We believe this focus to operate in more niche markets enables us to serve our customers even better and really position ourselves as the #1 recruiter of choice for downstream oil recruitment.

The rise of video interviewing
With most companies working remotely, it was inevitable to see changes in the hiring process & decision making. And that’s exactly where our unique candidate delivery platform i-intro has come into its own. It offers an unrevealed amount of data on screening candidates, plus the use of video technology has made hiring decisions straight forward and has given our customers the confidence to hire during the unique situation.
All candidate and role information on our i-into platform is secure, available and accessible anytime, anywhere! Why not benefit from 97% vacancy fill rate and 40% longer tenure in a role by utilizing our robust and easy recruitment process?

Month of Partnerships
March was an extremely successful month when it comes to new global partnerships. In February, we welcomed USA based Terre Christanston to our team (learn more about Terre here), and now we can share news about a second new partnership in Texas USA with another lubes specialist recruiter partnering with us, and announcements of our new partners in Shanghai and Dubai to follow very soon!
“Engage, Enable, Empower your people to work happily.”
We also partnered with “The Work Happy Project”, founded by happiness expert Katherine Tiddy. Her unique project is closely aligned with our business vision “to provide growth through happy, high performing people that make a safer & more sustainable world”. We look forward to working together to deliver more happiness to our customers and their staff!.

Bringing greater inclusion and Diversity to the lubricants market
In March, we sponsored, attended and chaired a panel debate at the inaugural UKLA Women In the Lubricants Industry conference in London. We believe with greater inclusion, we can attract new talent to the sector from a more diverse group of people. Diversity is proven to have a positive impact on workplace culture, productivity and company growth. It is an initiative we wholeheartedly endorse and can happily advise anyone with practical tips about how to tackle a talent attraction issue they are facing.
