Since 2007, Progress Personnel has helped organisations across the Middle East and Far East secure the leadership talent they need to grow, transform, and succeed.

​

We specialise in senior-level executive search—delivering high-impact recruitment solutions tailored to each client’s goals. Our partnership-driven approach ensures better-fit hires and long-term results across multiple industries and regions.

​

Our consultants bring deep recruitment expertise, commercial insight, and sector knowledge, enabling us to understand your challenges, speak your language, and deliver measurable outcomes.

 

Building the Right Foundation

​

Every successful senior appointment starts with clarity. We begin each assignment with a detailed consultation to understand your strategy, culture, and ambitions. From this, we define a precise role profile and craft a compelling company narrative—vital tools for attracting and securing the right leaders.

​

This upfront investment ensures the search process is aligned, structured, and purposeful.

​

Why Retained Search

​

For critical C-level and senior appointments, retained search provides the commitment and discretion required to deliver exceptional results:

​

• Dedicated resources – Exclusive engagement gives you full access to our research capability, networks, and insight.

• Thorough market coverage – We proactively identify, assess, and approach the entire talent pool, including leaders not actively seeking a move.

• Tailored assessment – Every candidate is evaluated against a jointly defined profile, balancing expertise, leadership style, and cultural fit.

• Long-term alignment – Our methodology reduces risk, strengthens retention, and ensures sustainable impact.

 

This model provides structure, accountability, and confidence when recruiting leaders who will shape your organisation’s future.
