I was working for a Private company in Dubai for the last 8 years. After Passing my CMA, I started looking for a change and I came to know about “Focus Direct” from one of my friends who got a placement through focus direct. Within one month of contacting focus direct I got selected for the position of “Financial Analyst” in one of the biggest holding companies in the world. It was the same sort of job I dreamt about for a long time.
I am very thankful for the prompt and correct action at the right time.

Minutes Coordinator
PA to Senior Development Director

My name is Sally-Anne Ritchie, and I am the PA for the Senior Development Director Projects and his team, as well as being Minutes Coordinator for the organization, a position which I obtained through using the services of focus direct.
Unlike most recruitment agencies in Dubai, the team at focus direct pays particular attention to the needs of the candidate and don’t just put the first available “body” into a position, but rather ensure that there is a merging of needs, experience and visions.
I highly recommend the services of focus direct as they really care about the candidate and their client, and go beyond the usual services from a recruitment agency.

"A month after I moved back to the UAE from the States, I was referred to focus direct by a friend. I knew what I generally wanted to do, but had nothing in particular in mind. I met with the friendly staff and felt supported. They listened to what I wanted, offered options and then put me in touch with the right people. Fast forward four months, I am sitting at my desk enjoying the new world of possibilities at Shell! Thanks to focus direct team!"
