Singular

What Singular does

Singular is an enterprise workforce solutions brand operating under the Airswift Group (Airswift Holdings Limited, registered in England and Wales), with operational headquarters in Houston, USA. The company delivers Managed Service Provision (MSP), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), strategic consultancy, and an integrated offering called Singular ONE to multinational clients in energy, process, and infrastructure sectors. Its technology approach is explicitly neutral: rather than enforcing a proprietary platform, Singular conducts technology audits and recommends the three most suitable platforms for each client, with SAP Fieldglass serving as the primary VMS partner.

The company's revenue mechanics rest on professional service and managed service fees tied to contingent workforce spend, permanent recruitment deliverables, and strategic advisory engagements. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales model with regional solutions managers in eight offices spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and CIS, supported by an agency partner recruitment program. Differentiators rest on three pillars: deep, career-long domain expertise in technical verticals; industry-specific benchmarking data for granular total-cost analysis; and collaborative partnership with clients and technology providers. Documented outcomes include 28% technical fill rate improvement, $1.4M initial plus $4M ongoing client cost savings, 40-day time-to-hire on remote-location projects, 400 on-time hires delivered under budget, and a sustained 94% net promoter score.

Singular is part of a larger group structure with no independent funding history, no disclosed headcount or revenue figures, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Its competitive position is supported by long-tenure enterprise engagements (e.g., 15+ years on-site at Azerbaijan's Shah-Deniz project supporting 600+ contingent workers) and a global delivery footprint inherited from Airswift covering 60+ countries. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per engagement, with no public fee schedule or self-serve channel.

Singular ONE is the core integrated talent platform combining aspects of both MSP and RPO along with proprietary research findings. The Managed Service Provision (MSP) solution handles contingent workforce and agency management.

Consultancy Services delivers strategic recruitment and total talent advisory. All solutions are supported by the company's three pillars of expertise, technology, and partnerships, with Singular maintaining a technology-neutral approach to recommend the most suitable platforms for clients.
