01The company's starting position
The plant needed a volume that neighbouring markets did not cover. India supplies that volume but requires a longer document route and separate work on adaptation.
02The Workin approach
Workin ran the project as a multi-stage route: selection in India, plant approval, visa, transit, pickup, housing, first day. Each stage had an owner and a status.
03Sourcing and screening
Candidates went through video interviews and trade verification. The plant approved profiles before visa processing started.
04Document route
Visa and permit documents were run per group, with timeline control and preparation for the visa centre interview.
05Arrival and housing
Transit and pickup were organised centrally: airport, transfer, housing, living briefing in the group's native or working language.
06First day at work
On the first shifts a group lead removed the language barrier between the supervisor and the workers.
07Support after the start
Adaptation was handled separately: living, meals, house rules, a coordinator contact for daily questions.
Project outcome
The plant received organised groups from India and a managed route instead of hiring individuals. The language barrier was covered by group leads rather than left to chance.
