Hanson Search: ESG Recruitment in Qatar Specialists

Hanson Search is an award-winning recruitment, executive search, and talent advisory consultancy specialising in ESG recruitment in Qatar. We help organisations across Doha and beyond hire experienced ESG leaders who understand local regulations, international frameworks, and the commercial value of sustainability.

With over 20 years of global experience — working across London, Paris, the UAE, KSA, and New York — we deliver ESG recruitment strategies tailored to Qatar’s evolving economic, environmental and governance priorities.

As a certified B Corp, we work with businesses who align purpose with performance and see ESG as a lever for innovation, growth and long-term impact.

Why ESG Recruitment in Qatar is a Priority

Qatar is embedding ESG into its national growth plans, regulatory frameworks, and investment strategies. From energy and infrastructure to sports and finance, the need for strong ESG leadership has intensified.

As a result, ESG recruitment in Qatar has become a key priority for boards, HR leaders and investors seeking experienced professionals who can lead change and deliver compliance.

Market drivers include:

  • Qatar National Vision 2030 sustainability and governance goals

  • ESG reporting expectations for public and private entities

  • Greater scrutiny from regulators, rating agencies and global investors

  • Integration of ESG into procurement, project development and risk management

  • Rising pressure to localise leadership, ensure inclusion, and meet global standards

We provide talent solutions for organisations responding to these pressures — with a focus on quality, discretion and cultural fit.
