A recent National Driller Web poll (www.drilleronline.com) found that the most frequently cited top priority (27% of the vote) for drilling contractors is “quality work/service.” “Employee recruitment” came in second place with 17 percent of the vote, just ahead of “sales and marketing” (16%). Sharing fourth place were “capital investment” and “competitive price.” Then came “safety” (9%), “professional image” (4%), “other” (3%) and “content employees” (2%).
