Sinopec & BP (SECCO Shanghai)

Serving a leading global oil & gas company and its joint venture Shanghai SECCO, KUTA built a dedicated recruitment team that consolidates vacancies, consultant, candidate and client feedback every cycle — bridging foreign, state-owned and JV hiring needs.

Client: Sinopec & BP · Model: dedicated RPO-style recruitment team
Case Study

Background

The client is a world-leading oil & gas company whose joint venture, Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical, is also served by KUTA (the JV has since been fully integrated into Sinopec). Serving foreign-invested, state-owned and joint-venture employers at the same time is valuable experience: these entities are closely related, yet each has its own hiring requirements and decision-making chains.

Challenge

Client challenges

  • Serving foreign (BP), state-owned (Sinopec) and JV (SECCO) entities simultaneously — each with different language, process and approval chains
  • The three entities are closely related; role and candidate information must flow smoothly to avoid duplicate submissions or conflicting messages
  • The client needs a visible, controlled process with periodic consolidation and feedback loops
Solution

How KUTA helped

A dedicated recruitment team

Per Sinopec and BP requirements, KUTA stood up a dedicated team rather than spreading the mandate across freelance consultants.

Periodic information consolidation

Each cycle the team consolidates open vacancies, consultant activity, candidate status and client feedback in one place.

A smooth end-to-end flow

The shared information mechanism links requisition, sourcing, submission and onboarding so every step runs efficiently without breaks.
