"We needed 7 Crane Operators for a road & utilities works in Mecca. Mahad filed the Musaned papers in 21 days — our own estimate was 30+. The GAMCA Medical + Musaned Medical Check was arranged before the flight, so day-one site clearance was immediate. 3 batches placed through Mahad now, zero replacements across all of them."
