Client: Queensland-based Mining & Construction Company
Project: Pre-deployment Medical Assessments for Saudi Arabia
Challenge:
A Queensland-based mining and construction company was preparing to mobilise three skilled workers for a major project in Saudi Arabia. As part of the visa and employment requirements, each candidate was required to complete comprehensive medical assessments — including pathology, serology, and visa chest X-rays. Some test results, particularly serology, could take up to 10 days to process, creating a potential bottleneck in deployment timelines.
Our Solution:
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we worked closely with the client’s recruitment team to manage the medical assessments from end to end:
Clinic Selection: We engaged a trusted medical clinic in locations suitable to candidate with proven experience in handling Saudi Arabia visa medicals, ensuring compliance with all requirements.
Advance Referrals: All referrals for pathology, serology, and visa chest X-rays were issued before the candidate’s appointment, avoiding unnecessary delays.
Clear Communication: We provided each candidate with a step-by-step plan and clear instructions, ensuring they were fully informed and prepared.
Process Efficiency: By proactively coordinating the clinic and referrals, we significantly reduced waiting times — especially for tests with up to 10-day turnaround periods.
Outcome:
Our streamlined process helped the company accelerate the medical clearance phase, allowing candidates to meet deployment deadlines without delays. The clear communication and structured approach also improved the candidate experience, making the overall mobilization process smoother and more efficient.
