Project Description

The client required a recruitment and onboarding partner capable of operating at extraordinary scale — filling thousands of roles across a giga-project with no precedent, under intense time pressure, across multiple functions and seniority levels.

The scope of the brief extended far beyond traditional recruitment. The client needed a partner who could build, deploy, and manage a full recruitment delivery function — covering senior and C-level mandates, volume hiring across development and infrastructure roles, and a structured onboarding programme to convert offers into retained, active employees at speed.

 

Our Solution Was Designed

A purpose-built, 18-person recruitment and onboarding delivery engine

We built and deployed a purpose-structured team of 13 Senior Recruiters and 5 Onboarding Specialists — each with defined remits covering specific functions, seniority bands, and stages of the hiring lifecycle. The recruiters focused on sourcing, screening, and shortlisting at pace, while the onboarding specialists managed everything post-offer: documentation, compliance, mobilisation, and first-day readiness.

Senior and C-level roles were handled with dedicated focus — recognising that executive mandates require a fundamentally different approach to volume hiring. With an average of just 3 interviews per placement across the programme, the team’s ability to qualify candidates accurately from the outset was a critical driver of efficiency at scale.

  • Executive Directors
  • Program Directors
  • Department Heads
  • Development Directors & Managers
  • Finance, Legal, Admin, and IT Leadership Roles

Driving Measurable Impact

The numbers speak for themselves. Over three years, this engagement produced 2500+ placements, 3200+ signed offers, and accounted for more than 30% of the client’s total workforce — making it one of the largest and most successful embedded recruitment programmes ever delivered in the region. Every metric reflects a programme built for performance, not just volume.
