These awards are an outstanding achievement for the Progressive Recruitment Dubai office and highlight to the rest of the region what phenomenal hard work and dedication the team are putting into their clients and candidates every day. As an employer, Progressive Recruitment prides itself on delivering excellence, innovation and continuous growth, therefore to have won these awards is a spectacular honour and a culmination of the combined efforts of all our colleagues in Dubai.
What sets Progressive Recruitment apart?
With more than 20 specialist consultants and over 10 years’ worth of on-the-ground knowledge and experience, Progressive Recruitment is able to focus on niche markets and roles within the upstream and power markets as well as the construction and engineering sector. In addition, Progressive Recruitment Dubai enjoys a stellar reputation for operating with discretion, integrity and professionalism.
Our team in Dubai is also made up of consultants with 12 different nationalities, speaking English, Arabic and Russian. With this, we understood any complexities when we hire for our clients across the region. This has given us great success where we currently have contractors and made placements in over 20 different countries from our Dubai office.
Beyond that, we placed a massive focus on our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme which have benefitted more than 6,245 people since 2011. Last year, we launched a new partnership with the African Science Academy, empowering females in Africa to attend leading universities and become future leaders in STEM. Our people are also encouraged to take two days of paid leave to engage in a CSR activity of their choice. Through this fantastic CSR initiative, our staff feel like they have a direct impact in the community which helps spark a positive workplace environment.
Thank you to our people
Apart from the great partnerships that we form with our clients and candidates, we believe that our people are at the heart of our business. As such, we strive to provide the right support and infrastructure as well as empower our people to provide advisory and consultancy services, regardless of their age or previous background. Most importantly, we want to show our appreciation for the passion and professionalism that the Progressive Recruitment team have portrayed and further extend our gratitude to the customers who have been extremely supportive.
