The Challenge
A global leader in oilfield technologies faced complex challenges that demanded industry-first thinking. Their aggressive global growth strategy required recruiting hard-to-find specialists across multiple time zones, cultures, and markets – from niche engineering roles in Scotland to procurement experts in Dubai. However, their U.S.-based talent acquisition team was struggling to deliver.
The stakes were even higher when the client decided to establish a new Digital and Tech Centre. After unsuccessful engagements with local staffing agencies, they needed a partner who could deliver strategic insight, not just candidates.
The Creative Solution
We successfully placed the first five critical roles – executive leaders in
HR, finance and legal – providing the foundation they needed to
establish their presence in a new market.
The Results
We didn’t just fill positions, we helped the client to gain market-entry strategy, competitive intelligence, and a scalable recruitment model that adapts to their growth ambitions.
- 632 candidates presented in total
- 236 interviews arranged
- 40 offers accepted
- 7 countries served from 3 strategic delivery centers
- 70+ senior-level specialist roles filled across hard-to-find disciplines
We continue supporting their Eastern hemisphere recruitment goals while playing a pivotal role in growing their Digital and Tech Centre to over 120 positions. Our bespoke approach – combining AI-powered candidate sourcing with strategic talent advisory – is strengthening their capabilities in AI, analytics and application development.
