Projects/Services Provided
- A skills shortage was limiting the development of a large petrochemicals project in South East Asia. Airswift built a database of local candidates resulting in a turnaround of 12 hours for most of the positions. Airswift dedicated a logistics team available 24/7 to assist with visa applications and quick mobilisation of contractors.
- Fully integrated recruitment and supply chain services for a global integrated fibre, resin and intermediates company. The company had previously contracted with many talent suppliers and wished to streamline the requisition and onboarding process. As part of the awarded RFP, 100 per cent of the current workforce transferred to Airswift, and all new requisitions were to be filled by Airswift’s recruitment team. An Airswift representative sits in-house to provide on-site support for contractors and provide regular reports to central procurement and local line managers.
“Airswift has provided a thoroughly professional, rigorous and highly focused service in conducting our latest recruitment initiative...Their obvious enthusiasm and energy has impressed both us as the client and the candidates themselves.”
