Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 21 November 2018: Having been nominated for two categories, we were pleased to be awarded Large Recruitment Company of the Year and shortlisted for The Oil, Gas & Energy Recruitment Company of the Year
We are proud to be recognised for our Middle East activity over the past 11 years. With offices in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia we have seen exceptional recent growth, including a headcount increase of 30% since 2017 and 39% contractor growth over the past 3 years.
We were awarded The Large Recruitment Company of the Year award based not just on our customer service to clients and candidates but also for our high levels of employee engagement. Our employees are the key factor in our success and we have attracted the best and brightest. Our established training programmes and opportunities for internal promotion have seen a high number of top performers relocate to the region this year.
As an energy specialist for almost 40 years, being shortlisted for The Oil, Gas & Energy Recruitment Company of the Year is fantastic. The nomination recognises our specialist expertise in local laws and regulations, ensuring a compliant and personalised service for all our clients. We are a key supplier of staffing, consulting and global mobility services to the largest operators in the Middle East and look forward to doing so for many decades to come.
"We are delighted to be recognised as the winner of The Large Recruitment Company of the Year at the inaugural Middle East Recruitment International Awards here in Dubai. The nominations are a fitting recognition to the amazing people we have working for Airswift!
Throughout the MEAST region, it means a lot to be recognised and shortlisted as a potential company of the year and in our chosen specialist sectors. We are expanding in UAE, Oman, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and looking for the brightest and best talent to help establish us as the number 1 staffing provider to the energy, process and infrastructure sectors. Being recognised in this way will help us achieve these goals"
Ford Garrard, Managing Director – Europe, Middle East and Africa
