Questions clients ask
- Do you work with our PSL?
- Yes. Clients bring me in for the one or two seats their PSL has had open longest.
- Our TA team handles most hiring. Where do you fit?
- On the hardest one or two seats. Your team keeps the talent map either way.
- Why a fee on signing?
- It buys the map, the exclusivity and my diary. I run fewer searches and finish them.
- Do the people you approach pay anything?
- Never, under UAE law and everywhere I work.
For leaders
Looking at your next move?
This page is for firms hiring. For you: a confidential conversation about the next seat and the package. You never pay a fee.
What a confidential conversation covers

- The package in writing: base, housing, schooling, bonus and relocation.
- The move, into or out of the Gulf: notice, visas and family.
- Your timing, including when not to move.
- What stays private: everything, unless you agree role by role.
