Genie

Genie is a Dubai based recruitment consultancy covering the consumer industry, and it describes itself simply as the consumer experts. The company says it was born from a pure passion for the sector and that it works tirelessly to match the right candidates to the role while taking a partnership approach with its clients. It has built up years of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges facing both candidates and clients, and it runs separate routes on its website for those approaching as a client and those approaching as a candidate. Beyond recruitment it publishes a blog and reports on its CSR work.

Genie's specialist areas cover FMCG, retail, e-commerce and apps, food and beverage, and hospitality. Its published list of what it recruits extends that to beauty and entertainment as well. Its coverage spans the regions of the Middle East and North Africa and Asian markets, which is the market it recruits into from its Dubai base.

The consultancy works from office 402 in Preatoni Tower, Cluster L, JLT, Dubai, and can be reached on +971 4 277 4308 or at [email protected], with LinkedIn and Facebook profiles alongside. Its testimonials repeatedly single out consultant Nicki. An HR manager in retail who has worked with her for four years to recruit some of the best talent into his organisations describes her as personable, honest and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the candidates she presents are suitable for the role. A talent acquisition manager in retail describes an amazing professional relationship on mandates that were not the easiest of roles, praising her as pro-active, positive, responsive and extremely patient, and calls her the go-to person for the toughest mandates. The CEO of a global FMCG business, placed in a senior role, highlights her commitment and professionalism throughout an extended process, which he says stood out above all the other opportunities he had active, and recommends her without reservation to any candidate or client.
