9. Case Study
Project
In July 2015, WRS was awarded the provision of a managed
services contract for a leading Marine Oil and Gas Operator.
WRS is engaged as a ‘Managed Services Provider’ following a
comprehensive and protracted tender process to manage two
DP3 Construction vessels and one DP2 MPSV working in the
offshore Oil & Gas Industry in Brazil, Mexico and Nigeria. WRS
was tasked withproviding all contract manpower requirements
and associated mobilisation and HR services for the life of the
project, ensuring low attrition, efficient recruitment processes
and smooth on-boarding, as well as enhancing the company’s
policies and procedures.
Challenge
This required sourcing, deploying and mobilising hundreds of
multinational contractors around the world. Once awarded
the contract, WRS appointed a dedicated Account Director and
support team to work closely with the Client’s leadership team,
ensuring strict compliance with legal, fiscal and immigration
legislation for all contractors. Recruitment and mobilisation
began in August 2015 for all three vessels.
Outcome and Cost Savings
By the first sail away in August 2015, WRS had on-boarded 270
contractors. WRS have maintained an average “time to hire”
of 10 days and an unprecedented conversion rate of three
CVs per start. All three vessels have achieved 100% personnel
utilisation without any downtime to our
client, including an attrition rate of
under 2%. The Client is predicting
considerable cost savings on the
model in the first year, due to
WRS’ outsourced managed
service model including all
travel bookings through
our dedicated Travel team
who are specialists in the
utilisation of Marine air fares.
