The Challenge
Our client was presented with a significant project opportunity in India which required the international relocation of key personnel to fulfil operational demands. The client did not have a legal entity in-country which presented considerable challenges in mobilising their workforce compliantly and quickly.
They were also operating under a stringent deadline - Phase 1 of the project was already underway and required immediate intervention to maintain momentum. Consequently, they engaged with NES Fircroft to facilitate their workforce’s rapid and compliant mobilisation.
Our Solution
With decades of experience in international expansion and workforce solutions, and a presence in over 45 countries, NES Fircroft was well positioned to support the client. Our Employer of Record (EOR) services enable companies to hire and relocate talent swiftly, compliantly, and with minimal risk.
We assigned a dedicated Account Manager who met with the client to understand their needs and present a tailored solution for relocating their employees from Saudi Arabia to India.
Leveraging our expertise, we delivered a comprehensive EOR solution that included:
- Registration with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to ensure full compliance with immigration laws.
- Assistance in obtaining Permanent Account Numbers (PAN), which is essential for payroll processing, tax deductions, and bank account opening.
- End-to-end personnel support, including expert visa processing capabilities, flight arrangements, medical insurance, bank account setup, and accommodation.
- In-country assignment support teams who offered direct support and guidance on the logistics of living and working in India, and helped personnel settle in smoothly.
The Results
NES Fircroft successfully facilitated the relocation of 15 Saudi Arabian nationals to India in under 4 weeks.
Positions included:
- Lead Mechanical Engineer
- Lead Process Engineer
- Lead Project Engineer
- Process Engineer
- Project Manager
The client was delighted with our seamless employee mobilisations and we look forward to further collaboration for Phases 2 and 3 of their project.
