The full amount of information about the user can be publicly available via one link (or QR code).
The link (or QR code) to the Open Personal Profile can be used as a signature in business correspondence, on business cards, or anywhere else to promote and develop your career.
The system for confirming technical skills, management and leadership qualities, and feedback from colleagues allows us to ensure a high level of reliability of the information provided by the user.
The user is given the opportunity to choose his own option for the visibility of his personal profile.
Profile Visibility:
- Visible to everyone (Personal tariff, the profile is saved as a separate personal page-site and is visible to the entire Internet without logging in and registering on Netpetro);
- Visible only to Netpetro users (Personal tariff or Basic tariff – contact details will be disclosed to users/employers for a fee);
- Not visible to anyone – personal profile is in the process of editing;
- Visible to everyone (I’m a student – the profile is saved as a separate personal page-site and is visible to the entire Internet without logging in and registering on Netpetro with the “Student” mark).
Specialization and specific technical skills play a significant role in the search for specialists and experts. NetPetro allows each user to present in detail their knowledge and skills in the oil and gas sector thanks to the developed technical computer model ProfModel trends.
Further, ProfModel allows you to quickly and efficiently find specialists in a specific technical discipline of the required level.
The technical competency system (ProfModel) includes the following key areas:
- Exploration and production (Upstream);
- Transportation and logistics (Midstream);
- Processing and marketing (Downstream);
- Alternative energy.
ProfModel has a three-level hierarchical structure:
- Competence (area of knowledge);
- Subsection of competence;
- Skill.
The NetPetro interface allows the user to:
- Set your own skill level (from 1 – Beginner to 5 – Expert);
- Give additional description and comments on your experience in this area of competence;
- Request confirmation from colleagues in this area of competence.
The requirements and detailed description of each Skill can be read by clicking the “?” icon.
You can send a request for confirmation of professional skills when editing the My Competencies (Technical Competencies) section to any colleague by indicating his email address.
To confirm, the recipient (colleague) will need to register on the NetPetro platform. This is necessary to ensure objectivity and honesty in assessing the user’s skills and professional qualities.
Example:
As a rule, a specialist has one basic competency with key skills in this area and a number of additional competencies acquired during the development of his own career.
A large number of core competencies (with skill levels from 3 to 5) specified by the user are likely to cause distrust in the profile and the specified data.
The management and leadership competencies assessment system consist of:
- Management and leadership competencies;
- Financial indicators of influence;
- Managerial and leadership qualities.
Regarding Management and Leadership Competencies and Financial Impact Indicators, the user has the opportunity to indicate/evaluate his best management skills/experience, add a comment/description revealing the details of the management experience gained.
Regarding managerial and leadership qualities, they are assessed exclusively by colleagues.
1. MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES (rating scale from 1 to 10):
-
- Managerial level – the best position from all work experience, this item determines managerial experience;
- Number of employees in the organization – the number of employees in the organization from the best management experience, this item determines the size of the organization and the level of scale of its activities;
- Number of people directly subordinate – the number of people directly subordinate from the best experience, this item determines experience in the field of people management;
