We're building the modern technical CV and recruitment search platform
With its roots in the Energy sector, Competas was founded to drastically improve the safety, security and people satisfaction in a mostly unregulated recruitment sector. Until now, limited systems existed which measure the level of competency of those employed in key roles associated with construction, commissioning, start-up and maintenance of high-risk facilities.
