Finding the right talent is essential for the success of any business, but we understand that every company has unique needs, budgets, and constraints.
That’s why our retained search services offer flexible, tailored solutions designed to meet your specific requirements, ensuring you hire top-tier talent while aligning with your organizational goals—whether you’re an established enterprise or a growing SME.
As an Elite Certified Recruitment Expert (ECRE) with years of corporate experience, I bring industry-leading expertise to your recruitment process. My aim is to provide a variety of options that fit your budget and needs, helping you find the best talent without compromising your resources.
What Sets My Retained Search Services Apart?
Elite Certified Recruitment Expert (ECRE)
I am one of only three recruiters in the Middle East to hold the ECRE certification, a prestigious credential recognized by Forbes 500 companies. This gives me a distinct advantage in identifying and securing top talent that fits both your business goals and company culture. Whether you're looking for executive-level leadership or highly specialized financial roles, you’re partnering with a trusted expert in the recruitment field.
Behavioral & Psychology-Driven Recruitment
My background in behavioral psychology, combined with certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), allows me to assess candidates beyond their technical skills. I evaluate their motivations and behavior to ensure the best cultural fit for your organization, resulting in hires who not only meet job requirements but also contribute to long-term team cohesion.
Flexible Payment Structures
Recognizing that every business operates within different financial constraints, I offer flexible payment structures to accommodate varying budgets and project scopes. Whether you’re an SME or an enterprise, I provide transparent, structured payment options designed to fit your specific needs while ensuring the best talent acquisition.
The Retained Search Process: A Flexible and Tailored Approach to Your Success
Consultation & Position Analysis:
We begin with a free consultation to understand your role requirements, company culture, and long-term vision. This allows us to create a recruitment strategy tailored to your business goals.
Talent Sourcing & Outreach:
Using my extensive recruitment network and ECRE expertise, I identify both active and passive candidates—ensuring access to top talent, even for niche and hard-to-fill positions.
Calibration Resume Round:
In this stage, we will provide you with three anonymized resumes that closely align with the job description you’ve shared. Your detailed feedback on these resumes will guide us in refining the next rounds, ensuring that the candidates we present are increasingly aligned with your expectations.
If one of the anonymized candidates meets your criteria and you decide to hire them, our job is complete. Otherwise, your input helps us hone in on the right fit, improving the precision of future rounds. Why is the calibration round anonymized? We want to avoid the hiring team's potential subconscious biases so that we can identify exactly what the client is looking for and what their business truly needs.
Screening & Shortlisting:
Candidates undergo a rigorous screening process, including technical evaluations and behavioral assessments. I only present the most suitable candidates for your consideration.
Presentation of Candidates:
I provide detailed profiles of each shortlisted candidate, offering insights into their strengths and alignment with your company’s values and goals.
Final Selection & Support:
I assist throughout the onboarding process and provide ongoing support to the hiring manager and to the new hire for the first 90 days of employment to ensure the new hire integrates smoothly into your organization.
