Leaders in governance and control functions, do you struggle to source highly skilled professionals who are motivated to develop their career in the Middle East?Would you like the recruitment process to run smoothly with candidates who have a clear understanding of working in the region?Would you like informed direction on job opportunities, salaries and career expectations in the Middle East?I have been helping organisations solve their recruitment challenges in the Middle East for over twenty five years, undertaking searches in the niche areas of internal audit, risk management, compliance, legal, treasury, cyber security and business resilience. I have in depth experience of sourcing professionals for roles such as Chief Risk Officer, Head of Audit, Legal Counsel, Head of Compliance and more technical roles in cyber security, AML and fraud, quantitative analysis, investment risk and related roles.Not only do I understand the technicalities of the roles that I am recruiting, but I have a deep appreciation of the recruitment issues specific to the region. I can guide clients through the best approach to source local and international candidates, where to search for them, and how best to approach and attract them. Managing expectations and avoiding the many hurdles that could arise in the onboarding and relocation process is very much part of my service - experience honed from decades of dealing with these challenges.Likewise for potential candidates, I can advise on moving to the region, realistic career prospects, salary expectations, and the types of roles available. Moving yourself or your family is a big step and I can give you a real insight into what may be involved with regards to job prospects, relocation processes and lifestyle.My first trip to the region was 25 years ago working for a client in Saudi Arabia. They wanted me to witness first hand the living accommodation and lifestyle of people moving there so I could pass this on to potential candidates. I have taken this all inclusive approach ever since: of course the job is a priority, but ensuring my client has recruited a candidate who will be happy with all aspects of the move is essential.Please message me if you’re interested in further insights into the Middle East governance related recruitment market.
