a mid-sized contractor, secured a significant 18-month contract for a new chemical processing plant on Jurong Island.
A core team of 15 certified welders for the first 9 months.
A peak team of an additional 30 general workers for a critical 6-month phase.
A small, specialized crew for the final 3 months of finishing work.
Directly hiring 45+ foreign workers presented huge obstacles:
High Recruitment Costs: The cost and time to source, screen, and bring in workers from multiple countries were prohibitive.
Administrative Overload: Their small HR team was not equipped to handle the massive increase in work pass applications, security bonds, medical checks, and payroll.
Long-Term Liability: They would be responsible for the full-time employment of workers they only needed for a fraction of the project.
Accommodation Crisis: Securing compliant, high-quality dormitory spaces for a large, temporary team was a logistical nightmare.
The result was a risk of project delays and budget overruns before the work even began.
They engaged Clarity E&C not just to find workers, but to provide a complete, managed workforce solution. This is how our model worked:
We Are the Employer: Clarity E&C, through our recruitment arm, sourced and directly employed all the required workers from India and Bangladesh. They became our employees.
We Handle Everything: We managed the entire administrative lifecycle: all MOM paperwork, work pass applications, payroll, taxes, and HR dispute resolution.
Seamless Deployment: The project-ready team was seconded to Jaya Construction's site. They worked under Jaya's daily operational command, but we remained their official employer, handling all HR and welfare matters.
Total Welfare Management: The workers were housed in our managed dormitories, ensuring a high standard of living, community engagement (like sports leagues and cultural nights), and well-being. This created a motivated, stable, and productive workforce.
Built-in Agility: As the project phases changed, we seamlessly scaled the team down. The welders and general workers were then redeployed to other projects in our network, providing them with stable employment while freeing Jaya Construction from any further obligation.
By engaging with us, Jaya Construction transformed their manpower challenge into a strategic advantage.
30% Reduction in Administrative Overhead: Their HR team could focus on their core employees, not on complex foreign worker administration.
Zero Recruitment Delays: The first project-ready team was on-site within 4 weeks, allowing work to start on schedule.
100% Workforce Flexibility: Teams were scaled up and down with a single phone call, ensuring no cost for idle manpower.
Guaranteed Compliance & Peace of Mind: They faced zero risk of MOM penalties, as we ensured all regulations, from housing to salary payments, were strictly followed.
Increased Productivity: Well-rested and well-cared-for workers were more motivated, leading to higher efficiency and an excellent safety record on site.
"Clarity E&C's secondment model was the key to our project's success. We got the skilled teams we needed, exactly when we needed them, without the massive headache of direct hiring. They are not just a supplier; they are a true workforce partner."
