Target Country
Middle East
A global Big Four consultancy wanted to ensure compliance with national workforce requirements in a Middle Eastern market, which mandated that a set percentage of employees must be local nationals.
Alongside compliance, the client also recognised an underrepresentation of women in its regional workforce and sought to take proactive steps to address this.
The aim was to identify a strong pipeline of both national and female talent that could be engaged for future hiring, ensuring legal compliance while also improving representation and balance within the firm.
The project gave our client a ready-made pipeline of national and female talent, helping them stay compliant while strengthening their reputation as a progressive employer in a competitive market.
Our Approach
Mapping
We conducted a comprehensive mapping exercise to identify 200 individuals who matched the required profiles, focusing on both national representation and female talent across relevant functions.
Tiered Longlisting
Candidates were organised into tiers according to experience, seniority and immediate suitability, giving the client a clear and actionable prioritisation for outreach.
Market Insights
Beyond candidate identification, we provided intelligence on the broader DE&I landscape in the region, highlighting where talent pools were strongest and how competitors were approaching similar challenges.
