Project Description

A prominent architecture, engineering and design firm operating across the GCC engaged us to build and deploy a dedicated embedded recruitment team — capable of handling the full spectrum of their hiring needs across the region.

The client’s hiring demands spanned a broad range of disciplines and seniority levels, requiring a partner who could source niche technical talent — from MEP design engineers to commercial managers and project directors — while managing the pace and coordination expected of an internal function. Standard agency models weren’t sufficient; an embedded approach was the only solution.

 

Our Solution Was Designed

A structured, multi-person embedded team built for GCC-wide scale

We assembled a dedicated team structured to cover every dimension of the client’s recruitment operation — from strategic oversight through to day-to-day sourcing and on-site coordination. The team comprised 1 Account Manager, 2 Directors, 4 Senior Resourcers, and 2 On-site Consultants, each with defined responsibilities that mirrored the client’s own internal hierarchy.

This structure ensured the right level of seniority was applied to every mandate, while the on-site consultant presence meant hiring managers always had direct, responsive recruitment support — removing delays and keeping the process tight. With 6 CVs submitted per vacancy and an average of 4 interviews per placement, quality and efficiency were built into the model from day one.

With a CV delivery turnaround of 1–3 days and strong coordination protocols in place, the team operated with the speed of an internal function and the depth of a specialist firm — covering everything from C-suite mandates to site-level administration roles.

  • Project Directors
  • Design Managers
  • Commercial Managers
  • MEP Design Engineers

Driving Measurable Impact

The embedded team model delivered a consistent, high-output recruitment engine for the client — producing 6–7 placements every month while maintaining rigorous shortlisting standards. With 6 CVs per vacancy and 4 interviews per placement on average, every hire was the result of a thorough, quality-controlled process rather than a rushed fill.

Results

  • 6–7 monthly placements — a reliable pipeline maintained consistently across GCC markets
  • Average of 4 interviews per placement — structured, quality-driven selection at every stage
  • 6 CVs submitted per vacancy — thorough sourcing with strong candidate calibration

Key value delivered

  • On-site workforce planning support — consultants embedded within the client's own environment
  • GCC-wide recruitment capability — sourcing talent across multiple markets from a single coordinated team
  • Executive and technical hiring expertise — covering the full seniority range with specialist knowledge
  • Dedicated recruitment delivery team — structured for accountability, speed, and long-term partnership
