Through our Hanson Corporate practice, we help businesses across the UAE hire the HR leaders who build strong teams and keep good people. Finding someone who pairs real HR expertise with commercial judgement is rarely simple, and that is where we come in.
Our HR Executive Search Expertise in the UAE
Amanda Dowie leads our MENA search, and our team has spent years placing senior people across the Emirates. We work with start-ups, scale-ups, established corporates and global firms, on single senior appointments and full team builds alike.
Recent roles we have placed include Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief People Officer, HR Director, Head of Talent, Head of Reward and Head of Learning and Development.
Why HR Recruitment in the UAE Has Become Harder
HR has moved from a support role to a board-level priority, and demand for strong leaders now outstrips supply. Employers also want these hires to shape culture and deliver Emiratisation, not just run the process.
The best candidates rarely need to look. They weigh culture, flexibility and purpose alongside pay, and they field several approaches at once. Without a sharp, well-run search, good shortlists slip away.
