3. About MB Executive Partners ► What we do
What we do
 MB Executive Partners is a premier MENA region based Executive Search firm
with a particular focus on the GCC, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, CIS
countries, and North Africa.
 Our expertise within the above mentioned regions allow us to better grasp our
clients corporate culture, business history, which in turn, allows us to act as
ambassadors to them. We reach out to candidates that are relevant to a
position’s requirements, and within compensation brackets that make them much
more affordable than GCC based candidates.
 During the course of a search, we deploy resources that allow us to build
sophisticated and complete search strategies leveraging on our solid network of
professionals – whilst our competitors rely on LinkedIn, low quality data, and job
boards, we at MB Executive Partners, deliver the utmost quality deliverables,
nothing less will do.

5. About MB Executive Partners ► What makes us different
Due diligence
We believe that conducting a systematic study of the best in class companies in
each industry we service is central to uncovering confirmed talents as well as high
potential executives. MBEP is the only MENA based executive search firm to use the
“Key Metrics®” search methodology which allows our clients to only be presented
with target executives relevant to their key metrics (company turnover, employee
count, geographies, particular skills etc.)
Reputation
Our firm consistently breaks down each interview report in order to identify
inconsistencies and associated risks which need to be investigated before a formal
introduction is made to our clients. Unlike a significant number of its competitors, MB
Executive Partners systematically interviews all executives face to face before they
are formally presented to our clients.

And finally, MB Executive Partners is the only executive search firm in the MENA
region to systematically present target executives with a non-disclosure agreement
before we reveal the identity of our clients.

14. Fees and expenses
Fees
Our fees for an executive search assignment are designed on a case-by-case basis.
Because each of our clients presents with singular requirements, we are ought to
collaboratively develop and implement a fee structure in accordance with the task in-
hand, as well as the resources to be deployed by our firm. We systematically favor a
fixed fee approach. This approach is morally preferred as our placement fee is not
linked to a percentage of a candidate’s compensation.
A portion of this fee is to be paid as a retainer to our services and the balance will be
invoiced once the finalist candidate has agreed to the employment offer.
Expenses
Expenses relate to candidate and consultant travel or video conferencing when used,
as well as assessment centres. They are re-charged at cost with no mark up.

18. Why us? ► Because it makes sense
 MB Executive Partners has a candidate reach that is of a different breed. Our
solid relationships in North Africa, Europe, and Asia amongst a select number of
regions allows us to source and identify talents that no other MENA based
Executive Search firm can reach.
 Deliverables we share with our client are a breakthrough compared to industry
standards. For each executive we present to our clients, for each target company
we include in our strategy documents or progress reports, we bring market
intelligence to our clients which is for them a great insight to increasing market
perception.
 A compressed delivery time. In comparison to industry standards, we slash
delivery time in an aggressive manner by working on a limited number of
mandates at a time. Because our clients are ought to hire quickly, we deliver
faster.
 Our network consists of some of the most influential leaders across industries.
We leverage on those recognized executives to generate some of the best
recommendations for potential candidates.
