More than an agency: Kestria UAE as an extension of our Talent Acquisition team

In the Middle East , having a recruitment/executive search agency that understand the market and its wide dynamics as well as reaching out for passive talent is a rare thing to find .

Throughout our experience with Kestria UAE, they have demonstrated a strong understanding of the market, the industry landscape and where to reach out for the right talent.

Furthermore, what places the company on a different scale is their unique ability to blend this market understanding with what we need as a business partner. The way they integrate with us in the candidate search in terms of understanding, the role, our culture and value as well as the role inner dynamics makes us feel that we are dealing with our internal talent acquisition team rather than an agency!
