Review:
Rigzone's global job board features oil and gas industry news specific to each country and a candidate database spanning professionals in offshore, onshore, office-based, and field-based positions.

Rigzone vs. MiningOilandGasJobs.com:
Like Rigzone, MiningOilandGasJobs.com is a global job board for the oil and gas industry. However, while users can filter their job searches by location, MiningOilandGasJobs.com doesn't have the same dedicated pages that Rigzone offers, particularly for news blogs. On the other hand, MiningOilandGasJobs.com is far more affordable than Rigzone.
Rigzone vs. Energy People:
Energy People and Rigzone are global job boards for the energy industry with industry news. However, where Rigzone features a dedicated Canadian news page, Energy People lacks this feature and requires users to search for Canadian-based news. Energy People does offer social media marketing with their gold and platinum plans, which Rigzone lacks.
Rigzone vs. Careermine:
Both Rigzone and Careermine are global sites that cater to the oil and gas industry. However, Careermine also caters to jobs in construction, engineering, environmental sciences, mining, and more. It is also more affordable than Rigzone, with a starting price of US$450.00 compared to Rigzone's starting price of US$550.00.
