himself.– Louis Nizer

3. Leading the way of ethical best practice recruitment
in the Middle East
Nearly a decade ago I came to Dubai and was directed to assist
in the sourcing of candidates of the Terminal 3 project at Dubai
airport. Building the superstructure and subsequent fit-out
works. A steep learning curve from managing the recruitment
for JP Morgan Chase Manhattan in Glasgow, Scotland. I moved
my attention toward the client side roles to develop my skill set
and quickly made my mark as an effective recruiter for the
majority of the international 1st tier cost and PM consultants
operating in the region.
As the market grew, recruitment as a profession became a less
respectable one due to malpractice by even the bigger names
out there. We stuck to our guns and ensured that we work to a
strict ethical code and take our responsibility very seriously,
whether it’s representing a company on the market or dealing
with a persons livelihood and family.

4. Mike Roberts
Director
Mike joined the Taylor Sterling team in 2014 to strengthen
the Construction & Engineering division of the business. His
recruitment background has expanded over 20 years and 4
continents; originally from the UK he has travelled, worked
and recruited in Africa, The Middle East since 1999, then
completing some large projects in Australia in 2007. Mike’s
knowledge and experience ranges across the senior end of
professional recruitment including both contingency and
retained search and selection services.
Having Mike onboard with Taylor Sterling allows his
experience and knowledge to take an ‘outside of the box’
approach. This adds to the armory of services that Taylor
Sterling offers to its clientele. By being different, considering
real candidate attraction and going that extra mile after the
sale as well as before, Mike wants to change our industry for
the better.
Recruitment isn’t rocket science! Mike understands that
sometimes recruitment companies over complicate the
process by painting a corporate and highly polished
environment that doesn’t exist in the real world of everyday
businesses. Someone needs a job; someone needs a person
with a certain skill-set…the matching it up is what we do best!

9. Executive Search
Precision head hunting
Other wise know as a retained assignment
this is an approach that is used for top tier
potions, needle in a haystack, highly
confidential or if you are targeting from
your immediate competitors. Its
expensive but very accurate and efficient.
We use innovative thinking with our
extensive network and specialist
researchers to discover where your ideal
candidates are likely to be and contact
them on an individual basis. Executive
Search is an effective means of sourcing
candidates who are working in precisely
defined roles in clearly identified
companies, or where the experience
sought is limited to a small pool of
individuals nationally or internationally.

10. Contingency Search
most cost effective
This is always our first stop – its the
most cost effective solution for every
client.
Most importantly is that unlike the
industry standard we only send the
CV to you and you only rather than
forward it to every company in the
market who may or may not be
interested. This is why you generally
get bundles of CV that you haven’t
asked for to clog up your mail box.
Our extensive database is maintained
by a dedicated team and continually
updated to ensure fresh, real time
data.

11. Psychometric Assessments
Personality & Behaviour
Assessing the top talent with
effective psychometric
assessments (Behaviour &

scientifically evaluate the

company and the candidate
will be a perfect fit, ensuring
job satisfaction and improved
performance. Effective job
satisfaction can result in a
200% increase in productivity.
