Kunaal and I knew each other for around a year already as we discussed another opportunity before. I didn't pursue it but we kept in touch and I appreciated he understood my career priorities. He got in touch a while later about a position in a growing PE team and I thought it might still be early to move from my role, but I was impressed by how he explained the opportunity and also remembered details of my family after one year. This showed me how he cared about my career as well as his client, and he remained supportive throughout the process, which was actually quicker than expected.
The move felt easy and I refer all my friends to Ascent Search when they are asking about moving to UAE.

By far the best team of recruiters I've worked with. I was approached by Ascent about an opportunity with a global investor in Abu Dhabi and dealt with Kunaal & Kirti during the process. They gave me significant time and support during the interviews and to help me understand what relocating to Abu Dhabi would be like. It was clear they understood my profile well. We built a strong relationship and their insights were key for me to make the decision to come here. My family is super happy with the move and grateful we took this opportunity!

Kunaal is reliable, highly responsive, honest and hard working. These characteristics are a key strength that are essential when working with an executive recruiter.

Kunaal placed me in a unique role. He was very professional and honest in the way he conducted my placement and understood the key issues which revolved around my career ambitions over the long-term. What is interesting about Kunaal is the way he gains an insight into your thinking and provides the pros and cons helping you make an informed decision; he is never pushy (unlike other firms in the market) and ensures he not only looks after his client's interest but also the candidate which is a rare trait. From my experience of working with him, he demonstrated a hard work attitude while maintaining a friendly/personal approach to me which was welcoming for such an important decision. I would work with Kunaal again and would recommend his services to both firms and candidates.
