Sapura Energy needed to quickly find experienced workers for a new semi-tender rig project in Angola, which connected to an oil platform by a bridge. This unique setup meant few candidates had the required dual experience working on both a rig and a platform. Sapura Energy's previous method of newspaper advertisements was slow and resulted in financial penalties for not meeting full employee capacity. The local Angolan talent pool for such specialized roles was limited, and skilled workers were often unwilling to relocate. Consequently, Sapura faced significant challenges in timely and effective recruitment. Airswift provided a comprehensive package of talent acquisition, global employment, and mobility services tailored to Sapura Energy's needs. Acting as an Employer of Record, they managed talent sourcing, visa applications, and immigration processes for the hired staff. Leveraging their extensive experience, contacts, and database, Airswift quickly supplied high-quality candidates, even assisting with bringing in expats and securing temporary visas during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness, consistently meeting urgent demands and exceeding expectations. This partnership established a strong, supportive relationship, ensuring continuous workforce support. The partnership resulted in the successful hiring of 121 employees for the project. Remarkably, more than 50 employees were secured within the initial two weeks of the collaboration. The client also gained the ability to quickly find replacements when needed, such as in cases of employee illness. Airswift's efforts helped Sapura Energy become more self-sufficient in Angola, establishing an internal capacity to identify and recruit talented workers. The high standard of employees brought in even led to attempts by other companies to poach them.
