Case Study: Sapura Energy achieves rapid workforce hiring in Angola with Airswift

Sapura Energy hires 121 employees in Angola with Airswift

Sapura Energy, a leading global integrated oil and gas services provider, faced significant challenges hiring a highly-skilled local workforce for a unique semi-tender rig project in Angola. The local talent pool was small, and the project's novel nature required workers with rare experience on both rigs and platforms. Sapura enlisted Airswift's help for talent acquisition and global employment services to find these specialized candidates quickly and avoid the financial implications of project delays.

Airswift provided a comprehensive solution, acting as an Employer of Record to manage talent acquisition, visa applications, and immigration processes. They leveraged their local experience and database to hire 121 employees in total, including more than 50 in the first two weeks. This allowed Sapura to meet its project demands on time and become more self-sufficient in the region, with Airswift even helping to bring in expatriate workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
