How it works

Our process simple and transparent

Of senior real estate executives in UAE, KSA are expatriates

The UAE, KSA real estate market relies heavily on international talent — making a global search approach essential for senior placements.

Demand for development directors has tripled since 2023

Dubai's off-plan boom and mega-project pipeline has created acute demand for experienced development and project leadership across the GCC.

Of real estate C-suite moves happen off-market

The best senior talent rarely applies to job boards. Passive headhunting is essential to access the top tier of real estate executives.

Egypt real estate sector growing at double UAE, KSA rate

New Cairo, North Coast and Ain Sokhna developments are driving unprecedented demand for construction and development talent in Egypt.
