"We opened a banquet facility setup in Dukhan and needed 16 Chefs on a tight timeline. Mahad sent video service assessments before anyone flew — we shortlisted remotely and they arrived deployment-ready. The QVC Medical Screening + TB Test was arranged by Mahad before departure. 2 batches placed now, no replacements."
