Middle East

Not just Dubai, but Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar & Saudi Arabia…..

Our active involvement in the Middle East goes back many years. We cover all the GCC states - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and together they comprise a considerable proportion of our assignment activity.

Our regional network is considerable; we visit regularly, and our consultants have become as experienced in relocating candidates there from various parts of the globe as they are at reassigning them within the region.

The region continues to attract international players both large and small, and our clients range from established institutions to newer entrants (both international and more local in origin) in both Islamic & conventional banking sectors. For them our market knowledge, candidate reach and understanding of the whole relocation process are invaluable.

Increasing numbers of experienced professionals are now considering moving to the region. For them we are always happy to share our cultural insights, along with advice on everything from accommodation to schooling and visas. Those already based in the Gulf particularly appreciate our rule of absolute confidentiality and our understanding of the intricacies of each market.

We are always happy to provide information on current employment market issues and guidance on remuneration within our specific areas of expertise for both employers and candidates.
