Market notes
Gulf employers hire across regulatory, quality, medical and commercial functions, often with relocation and housing built into the package.
Recruitment is licensed in several Gulf states. Where local licensing applies, we work through licensed local partners on a split-fee basis rather than placing directly.
Compensation for Gulf roles commonly includes housing and transport allowances. We define total first-year remuneration in the Terms of Business.
Please note. Placement rules differ by country. We confirm the right structure with each client before any introduction.
