A STATEMENT IS MADE AND A UNIQUE POSITION IS TAKEN...

IRIS Executives was born from a concept, the idea that things can be better out there and that the best recruitment consultancy was still to be created. Our reason to be is the strong belief that we can find better solutions for our clients and their challenges in the Emiratisation sector. We are proud to be the first ever recruitment consultancy to solely specialize on Emiratisation. We believe that no generalist can offer the quality that a specialist can offer and quite rightly! Awarded recruitment partner at the Careers UAE and Tawdheef in 2010 and 2011, (the 1st and 2nd largest Emiratisation Fair in the UAE), the market has overwhelmingly welcomed our approach and recognized the value of using a specialist in the Emiratisation area.  

IRIS Executives has been established with a firm view of enhancing the local market by providing a list of tailored Emiratisation services. IRIS Executives is providing experienced Emirati candidates to clients across the UAE from mid-management level all the way up to C level Executives. We have acted on a contingency and search basis for a number of companies in the region's leading industries. 

IRIS has gained trust through overall exposure in Government and Private sectors with candidates and clients alike. We service clients across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain) and we have organized our teams by geographical sectors to increase the synergy from within. 

Through the recognition that each client is unique and requires a unique solution, IRIS Executives engages highly skilled Account Managers that focus within one geographical area and are backed by industry sector specialists. Account Managers dedicate their time to understanding a client’s business and recruitment processes and provide an in depth, up-to-date understanding of their respective markets and their talent pools. 

Through the assignment of a specific Account Manager or Team, dependent on the volume of recruitment required, every Client is assured continuity of service through a single point of contact. Each Account Manager offers an unparalleled understanding of their clients and their requirements, ensuring that both Client and IRIS alike are fully informed at every stage of the recruitment process.

The service IRIS Executives offers its clients incorporates a capability across a wide variety of roles. Its structure is designed to identify and reflect clients’ specific needs, with teams specializing across different Emiratisation sectors.

Each and every client, regardless of size, receives the same level of professional service and benefits from IRIS Executives’ unique and extensive capability in sourcing candidates. The difference however lies in the way the resourcing solution is delivered, tailored by an Account Manager to meet each client’s specific needs. In this way IRIS Executives is able to quickly respond to clients’ requirements; saving time, effort and cost, whilst exceeding all expectations of delivery.

Image is key on the market and our clients choose to be represented by an Emiratisation market leader that will promote them actively. Our candidates are mainly generated through Networking and Headhunting, not through job boards. As a result, IRIS is proud to have the most exclusive and extensive database of UAE Nationals in the country, that covers all the listed sectors.

Focusing on finding "invisible" candidates, not "visible" ones!
 

IRIS Executives thrives in the search and placement of "invisible" UAE Nationals. We use the term "invisible" to define the UAE Nationals that are employed, happy and recognized as top performers in their current company. Most of these “invisible” candidates are not applying to any position (therefore, they are not visible to the rest of the market). They are the top performers that we focus on reaching on behalf of our clients. We know that candidates that post their CVs online, or apply directly tend to be usually unemployed, unhappy or unqualified. Companies that focus their recruitment search solely on these "visible" candidates tend to regret it in the short and long term.

Everyone agrees: a bad hire ends up costing more money and more problems than if we do not hire the person
at all. During our many years of experience, we have collected multitude of client testimonials that have hired the wrong people.
From tensions in the team, employees resigning, a bad atmosphere that sticks, a bad image and reputation as an employer, loss of clients... a bad hire can have devastating consequences. And if done repeatedly, it could have fatal consequences for a business.

Through our consistent networking and headhunting efforts, IRIS Executives reaches candidates that are not visible, the top performers that are currently employed, happy, and recognized in their current company. They constitute the reason to be for their team, department and companies. We provide them with cherry-picked career opportunities and understand what would interest them more and serve their career better than their current employment. This focus is at the center of our business model and constitutes one the biggest value for using IRIS Executives as your Emiratisation Partner.
