The United Arab Emirates presents a challenging talent environment for even the tier 1 global strategy consultancies due to increased demand for local Arabic speaking talent whilst maintaining the high entry requirements into these firms to enable their consultants to engage at C-Level with their clients.
Engaging Consulting Point to spearhead their talent initiative, a global strategy firm were confident that they could expand their operations strategy service line, while also respecting local customs and sensitivities in how the market would be approached.
Our network is strong in the GCC, but we needed to be reserved in our selection based on the strict criteria candidates require to be successful for selection within this organisation. There were numerous candidates that were great Consulting options, but most candidates worked for the implementation consultancies. We, therefore, focused our effort on securing talent from another tier 1 strategy firms and one candidate quickly began to stand out.
After the successful conclusion of the interview process, a very competitive offer was put forward to our candidate. Consulting Point used our relationship with the candidate to assess progression routes within the business to give the candidate comfort that this was the right move for them. After minimal deliberation, the candidate accepted our client’s offer and began the onboarding process.
Both client and candidate thanked us for our expertise in this area and we wish the candidate luck with their new career in this successful engagement.
