GE Oil & Gas is relying on a multiprong approach. It’s hosting mid-career prospects at a special lunch this week. It’s sponsoring a “speed networking” event for college students so they can meet a variety of GE executives. And it’s trying to find what recruiters call passive job seekers — top-notch candidates who don’t even know yet that they’re looking for a job. GE, which has about 5,500 employees in the Houston area, is also hoping that a lunch it’s hosting for mid-career candidates who have jobs somewhere else will lead to some hiring. The 50 or so candidates, who were identified through LinkedIn and Facebook as well as through resume postings on the big job boards, include engineers, sales people and marketing managers.
