Gulf Search

Gulf Search was founded by experienced Executive Search consultants with a passion for the Middle East, to provide a high calibre of recruitment services to clients in the region. We believe that just as every job has different requirements so the recruitment of the perfect candidate should be targeted and considered. Defying the traditional division of executive search versus contingent recruitment we provide a bespoke approach, which brings the toolset of Executive Search to the framework of contingent recruiting. The result is intelligent selection. Our team specialises in placements throughout the pharmaceutical, medical devices and FMCG industries. Our team has experience working with big name international corporations including Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis and L’Oreal, niche operators such as Genus, Anergis SA and Anika Therapeutics and not-for-profit organisations like The Smile Train and Vestergaard Frandsen. An in-depth sector knowledge enables us to provide targeted and informed searches for our clients and inevitably results in successful placements of skilled candidates. We pride ourselves on professional and intelligent recruitment, whether for a Product Manager or an International Head. Our bespoke services encompass far more than simply contingent recruitment; we regularly carry out complex talent mapping projects throughout the geography, we can thoroughly screen and interview candidates prior to presentation, and our team is extremely skilled in evaluating core competencies. We can also advise on media placement for optimising visibility to desirable executives. Our proven history of retained recruitment means we are able to offer full executive search services when required. Our team has successfully placed hundreds of talented candidates in roles with FTSE100 and Fortune 500 corporations, as well as in highly specialised companies. We are used to working for big name clients and pairing them with high potential candidates.
