Rigzone

Review:

Rigzone is a global site with a candidate database spanning professionals in offshore, onshore, office-based, and field-based positions, from entry-level to executives, as well as business-support staff. It's a great resource for oil and gas industry news and the job board is comprehensive with an Ideal Employer Survey.

However, Rigzone's job posting packages can become expensive, with ad boosting and employer branding only available with the larger bulk packages. Rigzone also has mixed user reviews as some Reddit users have said that the job postings are not legitimate.

Cons:

• There are no free posting options.
• An ad boost is only available with the bulk job posting packages.
• The platform lacks social media sharing.
• Rigzone's pricing is high compared to other niche sites, such as Energy Jobline.
