For leaders
Looking at your next move?
This page is for firms hiring. For you: a confidential conversation about the next seat and the package. You never pay a fee.
What a confidential conversation covers
- The seat, who it is with and why it is open, before your name goes anywhere.
- The package in writing: base, housing, schooling, bonus and relocation.
- The move, into or out of the Gulf: notice, visas and family.
- Your timing, including when not to move.
- What stays private: everything, unless you agree role by role.
