We don't send CVs. We deliver hires that stay.
Our consultants have spent more than a decade inside the UAE's built environment, placing senior professionals with tier-1 contractors, consultants and developers — including Alpago Properties and Ayana Holding. We source in the UAE and internationally across the UK, India, the Philippines and beyond.
Brief & benchmark
A detailed briefing on the role, your project pipeline and culture, with honest market and salary benchmarking before we begin.
Search & vet
Targeted search through our curated network of pre-vetted professionals — credentials, references and right-to-work verified.
Shortlist & secure
A concise shortlist of genuinely available candidates, interview coordination, and offer management through to a signed contract.
Guaranteed for 60 days
If your hire leaves within 60 days, we replace them free of charge. Fees are success-based at 8–15% of annual salary.
For Employers
The talent you can't find on job boards.
The strongest QS, PM and Director-level candidates in the UAE are rarely applying — they're being approached. We give you access to that market, with transparent success-based fees and a guarantee volume agencies won't offer. We serve multinationals, developers, consultancies, SMEs and family businesses.
For Candidates
Your next move, handled with discretion.
Whether you're an MRICS Quantity Surveyor, a PMP-certified Project Manager or a finance or IT professional, we represent you confidentially to the region's leading employers. Candidates are never charged a fee — our service to you is always free.
Let's talk about your next hire.
A fifteen-minute conversation is enough to understand your priorities — and to tell you honestly what the market looks like for your key roles.
