An AI-powered jobs platform is offering complimentary access to help any energy industry workers who’ve lost their jobs recently.
The platform unveiled by Ally Energy and Parallel promises to streamline the search process for both seekers and employers. Last week, Chevron announced plans to lay off up to 20% of its global workforce, and forecasts call for a slow year in oilfield services.
“We've all been through the very demeaning and desperate situation that is looking for work,” Parallel CEO Cory Okeefe said. “We’re landing rockets. Cars are driving themselves. And then you go to find a job that you’re excited by and is exciting to you and it still feels like you’re in 1985.”
For job seekers, the service creates résumés and uses AI to match to relevant openings, and offers an AI agent called WorkAssist that provides real-time information about roles and companies. For hiring companies, Parallel’s fee is based on the number of qualified candidates who apply, not the number of clicks a posting gets.
Okeefe said the AI can be particularly helpful in suggesting new potential fields for users based on their experience.
Katie Mehnert, Ally’s founder and CEO, said she believes the technology will make the hiring process more human. Houston-based Ally has been helping energy companies build their talent bases since 2014.
“It’s going to take all the things that are repetitive, that are inefficient, and it’s going to give those things to the machine,” Mehnert said.
