Vice President Operations, Small Oil & Gas Company
- Client, Oil & Gas
I have had the opportunity of working with Stephanie Johnson over the years and she has always provided excellent candidates to choose from. Stephanie is very professional in her approach to providing talent to the oil and gas industry and would highly recommend her for your job search.
Senior Counsel, Global Commodity Trading Shop
- Candidate, Energy Search
Although today’s career placement market has many online search tools available to candidates, finding position openings before they are filled and navigating the search filters to even get an interview often is not a successful do-it-yourself undertaking, but is more efficiently and effectively handled by professionals.
During my search, while competing with hundreds of other candidates for jobs, it was reassuring to have the Richard, Wayne and Roberts’ Energy Search team’s support throughout the process. They are experts in the energy placement market, and they have the knowledge, connections and relationships that online placement searches cannot provide candidates. The RWR Energy Search team distinguishes itself from other firms not by simply filling positions, but by seeking a great fit for the candidate within the employer’s environment. The RWR professionals are honest, personable and they work for the best opportunity to help match candidates and employers with their career placement needs.”
VP of National Operations, Maintenance, Sr. Vice President of Development – Retail Developer
- Client
I have worked with Richard, Wayne & Roberts for over 25 years, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. I have worked with Shanna Finucane (Manager, Real Estate team) for the last 15 years. The levels of professionalism that she and RWR represent in the searches they conduct provide the highest quality candidates available in the market. As a result of their consistently high results, I continue to rely on RWR and Shanna’s team to help me in (my) searches.
Land Manager, International E&P
- Candidate, Client, Oil & Gas
I would recommend contacting Stephanie Johnson for either your personal job search or helping to secure qualified candidates for open positions within your firm. She helped me secure my position and, during my job search, she maintained constant contact and answered all my questions. Once there, I requested her assistance in filling positions within my team. I found Stephanie to be extremely knowledgeable and the consummate professional. Her contact base in the oil and gas industry was exactly what we needed at the time.
Sr. Project Manager, Midstream Operator
- Candidate, Energy Search
Steve Hadnot was very diligent when finding me a new position with a good cultural fit in the Houston area including relocating my family. The RWR team was able to share my work experiences with companies in similar industries that I would not have had the opportunity to express without them. This resulted in a transition for a long term change to better my career path. I would recommend Steven and RWR staff to anyone seriously looking to find the right position that you will be able to wake up excited to go to work at!
President of Oil & Gas Company
- Client
I have used Richard Wayne and Roberts for many years with tremendous results.

They are adept at matching skill sets and personalities so that the candidate not only brings the skill set necessary to be successful in their new role, but also truly blends with the culture of the company which is so critical in today market.
