Our client is a leading offshore wind operator currently developing one of Asia's largest offshore wind facilities.
To support its large-scale fabrication project in Vietnam, the client sought a staffing partner to recruit skilled professionals to develop the country’s first offshore substation. The client had limited experience in recruitment in this region, so we customised our approach to ensure we effectively identified and secured the right talent for their needs.
Additionally, the client had previously worked with a local supplier but was dissatisfied with the service provided. The supplier's lack of transparency affected contractor morale and posed risks of non-compliance with labour laws. Consequently, due to an unreliable partnership, the client faced significant challenges in attracting talent for complex, highly skilled positions and potential reputational damage. This prompted them to seek the trustworthy and compliant recruitment solutions offered by NES Fircroft.
Our Solution
To provide personalised, direct support, we appointed a dedicated consultant from our Ho Chi Minh City office to build a close relationship with the client. This approach allowed us to mobilise contractors for the fabrication project quickly. Our team is also proficient in Vietnamese, which made transitions and contractor support easier.
To maintain compliance, we also delivered:
- A fully transparent solution, evidencing our strict compliance with local labour laws.
- Audited their staff base to facilitate necessary changes to employment conditions and salaries.
- Provided an exceptional understanding of the wind industry by sourcing niche skillsets.
- Implemented exceptional candidate care and established an ongoing monthly site visit.
