Agile HRO vs Airswift
Industrial depth. Modern operating model.
Airswift knows energy contracting. Agile pairs that same rotational and remote-site fluency with a live employment platform, in-house visas and mobility, and HR advisory, so your crews, expats and commercial hires all run through one team.
Who each one suits
Best for Agile HRO
Operators and engineering firms that need rotational crews, expats and corporate roles managed on one platform with mobility included.
Best for Airswift
Organisations that want traditional contract staffing supply in established energy corridors and nothing more.
Credit where it is due
What Airswift
does well.
Four decades in energy
Few providers understand offshore rotations, remote sites and project mobilisation as well. That heritage counts on complex mobilisations.
Established corridor presence
Long-standing operations along the major oil, gas and engineering corridors, with local relationships that are hard to replicate quickly.
Recognised by operators and EPCs
A known name on approved supplier lists, which shortens procurement cycles in the sector.
Difference to outcome
What the difference
means for you.
A live employment platform rather than spreadsheets and email
Workforce leaders can see every crew member, rotation, permit and cost in one place, which cuts reporting time and reduces mobilisation errors.
Visas, relocation and payroll delivered by the same team
Fewer handoffs on mobilisation, so start dates hold and projects are not waiting on permit chasing.
Coverage beyond energy roles into tech, finance and commercial
One supplier for the whole workforce rather than a second contract for corporate headcount.
Transparent employment pricing rather than quote-only
Budget holders can model cost per worker per country upfront, which speeds approval of new project headcount.
Why teams switch
What changes when
you move to Agile.
Platform and services in one place
A modern One Employment Platform paired with full HR, mobility and visa services. You get the software a traditional staffing model does not have, and the human delivery generic EOR vendors do not.
Same industrial depth, modern operating model
Manage rotational crews, expats and local hires in one workspace, with named on-the-ground people in country. No spreadsheets, no email chains.
Beyond energy corridors
When your hiring extends into tech, finance, commercial or back-office roles, you do not need a second provider.
Side by side

Airswift is a serious provider and earns wins where they have invested most. Here is an honest read of where the two of us line up.

Established offshore and remote-site operations
Recognition with operators and EPCs
Rotational and project workers
On-the-ground support on remote sites
Energy mobility, visas and relocation
Modern self-serve EOR and payroll platform
Coverage beyond energy into tech, finance and commercial
HR consulting and advisory included
Transparent employment pricing
Evaluation checklist
Five questions to ask
both providers.
Put these to us and to Airswift. The answers tell you more than any feature grid.
- 01Can I see every worker, rotation and permit status in one live system?
- 02Who arranges visas and work permits, and who is accountable if a start date slips?
- 03How are day rates, hardship allowances and rotation pay handled in payroll?
- 04Can the same contract cover non-technical and corporate roles?
- 05What is the cost per worker per country, before we go to quote?
Before you sign
Costs that show up
later.
Coordination overhead
When staffing, mobility and payroll sit with different suppliers, your team absorbs the coordination. That cost is real but rarely appears on an invoice.
Quote-only pricing
Without published rates, each new country or role means another commercial cycle. Ask for a rate card that covers your likely expansion markets.
Scope gaps outside energy
Corporate, finance and technology hires can fall outside a sector specialist scope, which leads to a second supplier and duplicated compliance work.
Switching, step by step
Low risk. Clearly
managed.
We run the move. Your team approves contracts and provides a data export. Nobody misses a payment.
Project and crew mapping
Every worker, rotation, site and permit is mapped, with mobilisation dates and risk points flagged.
Compliance and insurance review
We confirm cover for high-risk and offshore work and align with your existing brokers where needed.
Parallel mobilisation
New contracts are issued while current arrangements continue, so no shift or rotation is missed.
Single workspace handover
Crews, expats and corporate hires go live in one platform with your named account team in place.
