WE’RE ONE STEP AHEAD

The Gulf Recruitment Group was designed to be a bit different.

This is a firm where some thought has gone into what our clients and candidates really want, and how best to deliver those services in the Gulf region.

The result is a company that employs the best talent, embraces the best technology, enjoys old fashioned relationships and takes pride in delivering a truly refreshing customer experience.

We have the genuine ambition to be the most effective and respected firm in the Middle East, and to do so we haven’t reinvented the wheel, we’ve just improved it.

In a crowded market place everybody says that they are “different”, but just how different are they, and why do they want to be? The Gulf Recruitment Group knows exactly why we want to be different and exactly what we do differently.

From the day that three founding members answered the simple question of: “What do top class companies really want from a people finding business?”

Our answer; “The best possible people simply and effectively delivered.”

From there we built our solution; a model that has delivered great people at a fair price to great companies around the GCC.

WHY APPOINT US?We are all about making your life easier and here’s how:

We are specialists in our chosen fields, and we know what we are talking about. That means we understand your requirements and send you candidates who can actually do what you’ve asked for (within reason!).

It’s odd how often the best looking CVs don’t end up on our final shortlist after a rigorous interview process, but then GRG people know just how much more you get from looking into the whites of a person’s eyes than you do from the crisp white pages of a newly constructed CV.

We deliver our product in the best possible format and embracing the best possible technology in the market, so you get a better picture of who we are presenting before they even walk into your office.

We approach every vacancy with the mindset of attracting the best possible person in the market for your role, not just doing enough to fill it. Many recruiters claim to be great at what they do, but have you looked under the bonnet at the mechanics of their service? This is what’s under ours...

THE FACTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVESWe could write anything we like in this brochure, and make huge claims like “the most effective recruiter in the GCC” (which is actually our goal), but words without substance mean nothing.

These pages demonstrate cold, hard statistics that show we are doing a pretty good job, and it’s only going to get better.

Ask your consultant about a geographical targeting strategy.

SEE THEIR TRUE COLOURS

Consultants at The Gulf Recruitment Group are trained to take references when asked that actually mean something. We know how to identify a gem, or spot those smaller weak spots that you may need to be aware of.

REFERENCESAED 39,598 is the average monthly salary for a Gulf Recruitment Group mandate.

We set the bar high for the individuals we will represent. In fact we only register 8% of the CVs we receive, yet our database continues to grow at a rate of 340 high quality people every month.

36,212 is the average monthly number of visits to www.thegulfrecruitmentgroup.com

OUR VIRTUOUS CIRCLEPeople trust us with their livelihoods. That’s a pretty serious responsibility.

When you meet people for the first time one of the first questions you are asked is “what do you do?”. We may not define ourselves by our careers, but others do.

You may work to live, not live to work, but few can argue that our jobs shape our lives in many ways. We know that for our candidates choosing a career is one of the most important things they will ever do, and they need to be able to trust any partner in their job search.

As an employer, the people you hire to support you are critical to your company’s and your own personal success. Jack Welch (former

Chairman & CEO of GE) believes his main job was developing talent, and that got him pretty far. He never could have got there without the talent to nurture in the first place.

If getting recruitment right is such an imperative to all of us on a personal level, it must also be imperative to be able to trust your recruitment partner. Ethics to us isn’t just a good sentiment, it’s good business.


We have worked with Gulf Recruitment for over three years, and I would say and acknowledge that they are definitely one of the best search agencies that I have worked with. They have provided excellent placements across a broad range of functions, levels and disciplines, and have an impressive insight into the market and regional dynamics and who are the key talent within the region.

The Gulf Recruitment Group is the best executive recruitment company I have ever interacted with. Experienced and professional taking the time to truly understand the need going that extra mile providing the best service possible. It is an absolute pleasure to work with The Gulf Recruitment Group.
