Executive Recruitment – Arab Executives
Flourishing economies make the Gulf region a fertile ground to woo back top Arab executives working in the West, according to executive search firm.
There are a variety of high-profile jobs being created in places like Dubai, the firms say, and senior positions at large corporations in sectors like finance and banking could be particularly attractive to talented Arab expatriates in the West.
The movement of Arab talent back to the region is part of a wider trend as the Dubai brand develops globally.
"There is a big repatriation of Middle Eastern money back to the Middle East and I think that coupled with all the economic initiatives of Dubai, and also the region as a whole, it makes the city a very interesting place for international recruitment businesses. Business here is very strong domestically," Tauqeer Iqbal told Gulf News.
"We are highly active in our head-hunting business in sourcing senior Emirati executives into senior positions," he said.
"The trend is present across the GCC. There are big opportunities in the finance and banking sectors in the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Given the right package, there is a willingness among Arab expatriates in the West to return to the region," Tauqeer added.
