OVERVIEW

We hire top-bracket talent for investors and rapidly-growing companies globally - including Venture Capital & Private Equity funds, Startups, Scaleups and Industry leaders. Many of our clients are industry disruptors and innovators, addressing commercial and social challenges - and they demand the very best talent to drive their growth.

Our candidates are educated at leading universities and typically trained in Consulting, Investment Banking and Advisory firms. At the heart of our approach lies a dedication to the highest standards and transparency in our processes. We view every client as a partner, placing long-term success ahead of short-term gains.

We are based in Dubai, bridging our European experience with the burgeoning economies of Africa, Middle East and Asia.

OUR APPROACH

We carefully maintain the quality of our candidate network. Depth, not breadth, is key.

At the most junior level, our candidates have a minimum of a degree from a top-ranking institution. As the levels of experience rise, we thoroughly assess each candidate's track record, high performance and motivations.

We don't claim to cover every function and every industry - nor do we take on more work than we're capable of. Every assignment starts with gaining a clear understanding of your business, goals and expectations.

OUR SERVICE

We partner with great companies who share our values. In turn, each benefits from the market evolution and powerful insights we create together.
From our curated network, we source and present highly-vetted candidates; combining quantitative and qualitative information.

Every client is our most important.
Though you may share standards, each business is different. If you don't know exactly who you're looking for, or where you'll find them, many recruiters might walk away. This is our edge.

We'll collaborate to assess your need and suggest a variety of candidates. Together we'll narrow it down and make our partnership even stronger for the next time.
