New report from Eightfold AI reveals the majority of renewable skills currently captured by adjacent industries and maps out a path forward for expanding the available talent pool
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eightfold AI, the leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, today announced the publication of a new Eightfold Talent Insights Report, "The Great Energy Transition: What's Next for Talent in Oil and Gas." The report contains the findings and insights from the Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform, a deep-learning platform powered by the largest global talent dataset, to demonstrate the skills advantage and opportunity for energy companies.
To understand what's next for talent in oil and gas, the Eightfold analysis of the most common roles and skills across oil and gas – and renewable energy – companies found that:
By 2050, energy consumption will increase by about 50 percent, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In addition, renewable energy production will increase by nearly 150 percent. Worldwide pressure means fossil fuel companies are taking steps to improve their availability of renewable energy. Most recently, the Biden administration claims the Inflation Reduction Act will enable the U.S. to reduce carbon emissions in 2030 by 40 percent below 2005 levels.
This worldwide spotlight on energy transition to renewables requires a forward-looking strategy for innovation, cultivating culture, and transforming talent. According to the World Economic Forum, the clean energy transition could generate 10.3 million net new jobs worldwide by 2030.
"Given that the roles to meet energy demands do not necessarily exist yet, limiting our talent searches only to those with particular knowledge sets no longer makes sense. Recruitment tactics that include individuals with skills from adjacent industries are more prepared to build a future-ready workforce," said Kamal Ahluwalia, President of Eightfold AI. "By shifting our mindsets, we can boost our access to more qualified people – and reach lofty goals – when hiring for potential based on their ability to upskill themselves."
The report further outlines how energy companies can develop talent strategies, calibrate future roles, and hire for potential to expand the available talent pool, such as:
For this analysis, "The Great Energy Transition: What's Next for Talent in Oil and Gas" report leveraged Eightfold's global dataset and considered publicly available profiles from leading oil and gas companies, in addition to renewable energy companies. The report contains the full methodology.
