Financial Services
There is an increasing demand amongst financial services companies across the Middle East for commercially astute marketing and sales specialists: a demand that Carter Murray is exceptionally well placed to fulfil. Our Dubai office routinely place candidates into the top investment banks, insurance houses and retail banks and we have developed excellent relationships as a result.
Professional marketeers and business developers are advising and directing business strategy, and becoming increasingly visible and integrated into their organisations, resulting in a greater need to have the right people in the roles.
Financial services organisations have always tended to be rather inflexible recruiters, sourcing candidates only from other financial services organisations. This attitude is slowly changing, as more and more companies recognise cross-transferable skill-sets from other industries for outstanding individuals. Financial service companies are investing heavily in induction and training programmes to bring candidates from other industries up to standard quickly. There is an increasing desire to inject ‘new and fresh’ ideas from other sectors into financial services, making the sector an exciting place to be.
