Client: leading global chemicals group · Model: executive search + dedicated AM
Case Study

Background

As a high-tech, highly specialized production plant, the design had to meet the highest international standards and required the best talent available in the market. The client needed people with relevant technical experience who could mobilize quickly, travel to any city in China, and bring strong international project experience and cross-cultural communication skills.

Challenge

Client challenges

  • Built to the highest international standards — candidates must be true specialists in their niche, not generic chemical engineers
  • Fast mobilization: candidates must be ready to travel and relocate to project cities across China at short notice
  • Strong international project experience and English communication required
  • The client demands high responsiveness and a transparent, fixed-cadence hiring process
Solution

How KUTA helped

Structured screening method

KUTA's professional screening approach shortens the cycle from request to shortlist, so the client and project get talent fast.

Niche vertical network

Drawing on the team's deep networks within chemical sub-sectors, we identify and approach specialists across multiple verticals in parallel.

One dedicated account manager

A single AM owns all client communication and support for this project end-to-end, removing information gaps between multiple contacts.

Bi-monthly progress reviews

Formal hiring-progress meetings every two months align the search pipeline with the project schedule and surface blockers early.
