Ghana Recruitment Agency
A 174% increase in employment in the past 5 years has led to an overwhelming demand for both talent and vacancies within the Ghanaian Oil & Gas industry.
Our Ghanaian team operate as First Technical (Ghana) Limited, using a wealth of knowledge and expertise from their locally based team to help meet our clients demands.
Our growth and development in Africa has given us a fantastic insight into the Oil & Gas market in Ghana and beyond, developing strong relationships with companies like Tullow, ENI, Kosmos Energy and Technip along the way. First are now able to build upon the relationships that have formed in Ghana since they first opened in 2013.
Local Staff Bring Local Knowledge
Located in Ghana’s capital city of Accra, our in-country team is headed by Martin Aye-Addo (pictured right, above) who has over 10 years’ experience in recruitment across Ghana, including Accra and Sakumono. Martin is supported by a team of Ghanaian staff, who provide important knowledge of the Oil & Gas within the country, and allow us to adhere to legalities such as the Local Content Act, which seeks to give first consideration to Ghana Oil & Gas companies – something that the Petroleum Commission are making sure is strictly adhered to. We are also hold a valid and up to date Petroleum Commission Permit. This depth of knowledge that local experts provide gives an unrivalled advantage, when it comes to Oil & Gas recruitment.

Candidate Testimonial
I have had a good relationship with First Recruitment Group. My first contact was with your branch in the UK who helped me secure my current job in Ghana. The Ghanaian branch have also been excellent, regularly checking to see if I was happy and if there was anything you could do to help; I think that this is impressive. On the whole I have been very satisfied with your agency and I will happily recommend it to all my colleagues.
