Our client is the world’s leading digital infrastructure company that connects major organisations such as manufacturing, retail, transportation, finance, education, healthcare, and the government across a digital-first world. They’re trusted globally to unite and connect the foundational infrastructure that powers their field
The Challenge
Our client needed to source and mobilise technical personnel for their global data centres in Dubai, Turkey, Oman and Spain. Data centres in the Middle East are an emerging landscape, and being based in Dubai, the client was not equipped with the infrastructure or internal resources needed to fulfil the staffing requirements themselves, so they reached out to NESF.
The Solution
Due to NES Fircroft’s global reach and deep talent pools, we delivered Employer of Record Services and mobilised 15 personnel from various locations onto the project. We’re globally licenced and experienced in providing clients with a compliant, end-to-end staffing solution.
- We have global experience in sourcing specialist personnel for data centres and in providing EoR services to businesses with urgent deadlines.
- We explained that due to the emerging market, it would be challenging to find sufficient local personnel to fill the roles and that we would tap into our global talent pools as part of the hiring scope.
- Once we had exhausted our local search, we put our findings forward to the client, and suggested several potential candidates from other regions with the transferable skills required for the project’s scope.
- We identified candidates with the required skills in other regions, such as the US, UK, and Europe.
- During the mobilisation process, of one of our senior level roles, we had to coordinate mobilisation, visas and assign someone in the team who could communicate with the candidate in Turkish due to the language barrier.
The Results
This would have been a complex challenge for less experienced agencies, but the NESF team found an efficient solution that worked for all involved so the candidate could be mobilised as quickly and compliantly as possible with minimal effect on the client and the project’s timeline.
All personnel were hired based on long-term staff agreements except 1 placement that was located in Spain.
The client was pleased with the outcome and the level of support NESF offered them and the candidates. We managed to place all personnel in several different roles, such as Project Managers, Commissioning Managers, and Personal Assistants in just a 1-3 week timeframe.
