The Challenge: Urgent Staffing Need
Project Background
Client Requirements:
- Luxury residential complex - 24 units requiring high-quality finishing
- Tight deadline - 8 weeks total completion time
- Quality standards - Premium materials and craftsmanship required
- Budget constraints - Fixed-price contract with no flexibility
- Reputation stakes - High-profile client with potential for future projects
Staffing Gap Analysis:
Al-Bayan's existing team of 15 workers could handle about 60% of the required work within the deadline. They needed:
- 5 skilled masons for brick and block work
- 3 steel fixers for reinforcement installation
- 2 finishing specialists for plastering and painting
- Immediate availability to start within one week
- Proven experience with luxury residential construction
Traditional Recruitment Challenges
Previous Experiences:
Al-Bayan had tried multiple recruitment approaches:
- Local hiring - Limited skilled workers available, high costs (SAR 4,000-6,000/month)
- Competitor poaching - Unethical and creates industry tension
- Subcontracting - Would eliminate profit margins and quality control
- Previous agencies - 12-16 week timelines too slow for urgent needs
Critical Constraints:
- Time pressure - Project start date was non-negotiable
- Quality requirements - Client expectations for premium work
- Cost targets - Budget already allocated with no additional funds
- Team integration - New workers needed to blend with existing team
- Cultural fit - Workplace harmony essential for productivity
