ForeFront Talent

ForeFront Talent LLC is a recruitment consultancy based in the heart of the Middle East, providing recruitment, executive search and HR services to key clients across the region, with the goal of identifying the top percentile of talent in the market. Its permanent recruitment service is built on professionalism and transparency, keeping candidates updated at every step so they know what is coming and how to manage a job move, which the firm says gives clients peace of mind during hiring. Its executive search service is for senior hires that need a specialist consultancy to map the entire market within a specified timeframe, and it suits replacement and confidential appointments, with the cost split into three equal payments, one at the start of the assignment and the remainder through to placement. A third service, nationalisation, helps clients identify and hire national talent.

The consulting team is made up of subject matter experts specialising in niche sectors across the region, and the firm publishes the numbers behind that work: 150 clients serviced across the region, 20 years of combined recruitment experience, placements made into 14 countries and 5 years of nationalisation experience. It aims to provide the top ten per cent of talent in the region, and because it believes the best candidates are not actively looking, it maps the market and headhunts individuals through targeted searches, selling the opportunity to draw them into the process. Initial shortlists are generally delivered to clients within two to four days.

ForeFront Talent recruits professionals across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, with over 20 years of recruitment experience in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia region and established relations on both the client and candidate side. Its head office is at Falcon House, Floor 2, 201-2 DIP in Dubai. Clients choose it because it discusses each opening with HR and the hiring manager to establish the key requirements, which raises the interview hit rate and reduces rejections at interview stage.
