Workforce Report & Survey: Building a Robust Workforce and Attracting the Next Gen of Energy Project Professionals features quotes from Ablemkr’s Patrick Wallian.
While states such as Texas and Louisiana look to improve the provision of competency-based training, Tempe, Arizona-based ABLEMKR is addressing another part of the skills challenge: locating the right workers for the job once a project gets underway.
“Companies have a really hard time going from six workers on site to 100 in six weeks,” said Patrick Wallain, ABLEMKR’s President and CEO. ABLEMKR is tackling this problem with automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
“Instead of filling out, manually, 50 job posts, we are using AI and automation techniques to drag and scrape what companies need and push it out to a publisher network,” Wallain said. The technology “has really increased who we can find and how quickly we can find them,” he said. “The future of recruitment, the future of project-based staffing, I think, lies there.”
