Comprehensive Solution: Recruitment and Mobilization of an Expert for the New Engineering Center in Siberia
Our Client, a major Russian EPC company, has made the strategic decision to establish a new engineering center in the Ural Federal District of Russia to develop its own robust technological expertise. The Client approached us with a request to identify a specialized European expert with substantial experience in international projects within the oil or gas chemical sector—specifically, an Expert in the Design of Technological Facilities.
Our task was to ensure the selection of a highly qualified expert possessing unique experience, who would be intrigued by our proposal and the opportunity for relocation to a project in Siberia. Most importantly, we needed to identify a candidate capable of assembling an effective team of Russian design specialists, sharing his extensive knowledge while fostering the development of innovative solutions to elevate the Client to the next, even more advanced level of expertise.
Key figures and facts:
- Speed: 4 relevant candidates presented within the first week.
- Project Completion Time: 3 months for a turnkey solution.
- Pipeline: 6 candidates included in the shortlist, with 1 successfully placed.
Project highlights:
- Conducted an international search, focusing on a narrow candidate market in Europe.
- Identified candidates not only with profound knowledge and specialized experience but also fluent in English and familiar with Russian culture and mentality.
- Acknowledged the low awareness of the employer brand among the European candidate market, which necessitated an enhanced promotional strategy for our Client to ensure the attractiveness of the job offer and motivate candidates for relocation to Russia for the duration of the employment contract.
Our actions, approach, and results:
- Defined relevant countries, international projects, and companies in Europe that aligned with our project requirements.
- Collaboratively developed a comprehensive relocation package for the expatriate employee and accompanying family members, facilitating their move to Russia (visa support, provision of tickets and transfers, accommodation in hotels, housing rentals, education for children in schools with European languages, etc.).
- Prepared a long list and a shortlist, conducted consultations on the presented profiles, and facilitated intercultural communication.
- Organized the complete mobilization of the specialist over 2 months, including the processing of necessary documents, logistics, transportation of personal belongings, and settling-in services.
- The specialist fully addressed the tasks set by the Client. Subsequently, after the project concluded and the specialist returned to his home country, the Client repeatedly engaged him as a Consultant for other projects, thus continuing a long-term collaboration.
