Launching a new partnership over the Christmas period with DP World

At the end of the year, DP World urgently needed to fill warehouse positions. The Christmas period made recruitment extremely difficult. Our international network gave us access to workers who were available even over the holidays.

Timeline

Urgent launch: 29 December 2025

Brief

On 29 December 2025, DP World urgently needed to fill warehouse positions. The Christmas period made it nearly impossible to recruit through standard channels.

Strategy

International recruitment from 8 countries

We activated a broad candidate pool across eight countries to fill positions quickly.

Orthodox Christmas as an advantage

Workers from Ukraine and Moldova celebrate Christmas in January – they were fully available on 29 December.

Flexible team replenishment

Ongoing placement of warehouse workers in line with the client's operational needs.

The client's main concern was quality. They couldn't afford to bring 40 people over and find out they couldn't read technical drawings.

Our solution

Using our international network and the cultural advantage of Orthodox Christmas, we sourced workers from Ukraine and Moldova who were available during the critical holiday period.

Network activation over the holidays

Immediate activation of our candidate database across 8 countries on a day when standard recruitment was at a standstill.

Using the time window

Workers from Ukraine and Moldova celebrate Orthodox Christmas in January – making them uniquely available.

Uninterrupted warehouse operations

The client kept operations running without restrictions during the most demanding logistics period of the year.

Result

Emergency staffing on 29 December, using a network of candidates from 8 countries. Workers from Ukraine and Moldova – celebrating Christmas in January – were the only ones available. The client maintained full operations without disruption.
