The Client's Hiring Challenge
Our client had concerns around navigating the local compliance in their various project locations, but their senior management team did not want to increase their internal headcount to employ people responsible for the management of their contractors.
They sought the support of a recruitment partner who could deliver payroll, visas, work permits, and mobilisation logistics for volume numbers of personnel. Following our initial success in Thailand, the client increased our scope of work to cover the Philippines.
We became the client’s sole personnel supplier. To help our client achieve their goals, we implemented a staggered recruitment transformation programme
The Solution
We appointed a dedicated recruitment consultant based in Ayala Alabang to coordinate the scope of work. With over a decade of experience managing contractors in-country, our recruitment team know what it takes to remain compliant and deliver an efficient service.
End-to-end Service
Collaboratively, our team delivered a comprehensive end-to-end service. Our recruitment team leveraged their local and regional candidate networks to source talent across project management positions, quality, HSE and engineering.
Contractor Support
Our assignment support team coordinated all work permit and visa applications, also arranging training and medical certifications. Our travel team delivered practical support for the contractors’ global mobility needs, including booking hotels and transport.
Cost Savings
Through reducing their workload and providing an efficient service, we made huge cost savings for the client. We also conducted regular on-site visits to offer further support face to face.
The Results
Building on our strong foundation in Thailand, our support in the Philippines led to the placement of 22 new positions across project management, civil engineering and corporate services. Our sector expertise, coupled with our comprehensive contractor management service and commitment to compliance means we have become their leading recruitment provider.
