Middle East Recruitment
Maine-Tucker Recruitment operating in the Middle East.
In 2008 due to popular demand Maine-Tucker launched a dedicated division to service our clients in the Middle East. Today we operate regularly in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai and Quatar. One of the effects of this recession is to make jobs in the Middle East very attractive to the British candidate market. This in turn makes scrutiny of all these prospective candidates even more vital as greater numbers try to relocate to the Middle East. Many candidates have become demoralised with the economic state of Britain and see moving to work in the Middle East as their “dream”. These are not necessarily the best candidates for clients to hire because their motivation is more of a “knee jerk” reaction to this rather dismal climate, as opposed to a carefully thought out long-term plan. We are here to avoid this kind of mistake.
Maine-Tucker offers Middle Eastern clients a truly unique proposition which is also very in keeping with their well known culture of “trust”. Every candidate that we place in the Middle East will carry our three month full refund guarantee (all your money back). This means that we are a company prepared to share with our client the entire risk on hiring from the British market for three months. This “partnership” mentality has found great favour with our clients from the Middle East.
Salaries in the Middle East are tax free and benefits packages usually offer unique items such as: flights, accommodation, extended UK breaks, chauffeurs and spa memberships to name but a few. Many Middle Eastern clients have their own individual package designs. We find that as long as the salary is pitched to the top end of the “London” market rate (per our 2010 salary survey) then clients can appoint top quality staff for their Middle Eastern offices. It is then our priority to make sure that we appoint a candidate who is a really good “life fit” because this if the most common area where things can go wrong.
