NETWORK FRANCHISEE TO SERVICE MID EAST'S EXPANDING HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
Management Recruiters International, Inc. (MRI), one of the world’s largest executive search and recruitment organisations, has launched a Dubai Media City company, Executive Search Middle East FZ-LLC (ESME), specialising in the recruitment of upper level professionals within the hospitality industry.
“The Middle East’s hospitality industry is in a strong growth phase and the recruitment of high calibre professionals to further assist its development and that of operators within the sector is crucial to its success,” said Diana Debley, Managing Director, ESME.
“While the region is amply serviced by generalist recruitment companies, no-one has yet focused solely on the hospitality sector and it has been a gap that was long over due to be filled in the market.”
Diana Debley hails from the hospitality sector and has over 10 years of managerial experience within the industry. She has led sales teams for major hotel chains including, Hilton, Inter-continental and Dubai’s celebrated seven-star Burj Al Arab.
Peter V. Malone, Managing Director of MRI London and Chairman of ESME, said that opening the office in Dubai was a major step forward for the company, which is building a global search practise within hospitality and related sectors. “As the regional hub of the Gulf, Dubai will be a recruitment centre for the entire area, and a presence here for companies wishing to be considered global partners is now essential,” he said.
“MRI leverages the talents of an internationally-proven network of knowledgeable recruitment professionals and the most effective human resource tools in the employment services industry to meet the staffing needs of our clients. That means we will find the most talented professionals available for our clients, while helping job seekers find the best employment opportunities possible,” he said.
