Project Description

A major project and facilities management firm in Saudi Arabia required a dedicated recruitment partner to act as an embedded function — supporting rapid, high-quality hiring across leadership and operational roles.

With a broad remit spanning senior directors, management positions, engineering roles, and administrative functions, the client needed more than a traditional agency. They needed a team that understood their culture, processes, and hiring standards — and could operate as though they were part of the organisation itself.

 

Our Solution Was Designed

An embedded team operating as a true extension of the client’s HR function

We deployed a dedicated recruitment team structured as a genuine extension of the client’s HR function — embedded within their workflows, aligned to their hiring managers, and accountable to their timelines. This rent-a-recruiter model gave the client full visibility and control over the recruitment process while removing the friction of managing multiple external agencies.

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.

  • Senior Directors
  • Management Positions
  • Executive-Level Roles
  • Engineering & Administration Positions

Driving Measurable Impact

The embedded model delivered outcomes that went beyond headcount — creating a structured, accountable hiring engine that supported both the client’s growth ambitions and their Saudi nationalisation commitments. With nearly half of all placements being Saudi nationals and CVs landing within days of a brief, the partnership set a new benchmark for recruitment performance in the region.

  • 48% Saudi national placements — strong localisation outcomes supporting Vision 2030 goals
  • CV delivery turnaround within 1–3 days — exceptional responsiveness across all role levels
  • Strong hiring coordination and accountability — every stage tracked and managed end-to-end

Key value delivered

  • Fast response times — briefs actioned immediately with shortlists delivered at pace
  • Strong localisation hiring support — dedicated focus on Saudi national identification and placement
  • Seamless coordination with internal HR teams — embedded model eliminated communication gaps
