People leaders for organizations that take their people seriously.
An HR function is only as strong as the people who run it, and a weak one is felt everywhere else in the business before it is noticed in HR. Sid & Gamble recruits HR and people professionals for growing and established organizations across the UAE and nine further markets, from the business partner who earns the trust of a leadership team to the people leader who sits on it.

Dubai is home, and the UAE is where we work most closely. HR here carries responsibilities that rarely exist elsewhere, from nationalization targets to visa and labor requirements to managing workforces drawn from dozens of countries. We also recruit across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and Canada, each with its own employment rules and expectations of the function.
HR is being reshaped by the same automation it is asked to help the rest of the business adopt. Routine administration is moving into systems, and the people in demand are those who can use data, advise leaders on organizational change and handle the human side of restructuring well. Reward and talent acquisition leaders remain hard to find, and in the UAE, experience with nationalization programs has become a real differentiator.
How we run an HR search.
We hire for credibility with leadership
The strongest HR professionals are trusted by the people they advise. We look for evidence that a candidate has influenced decisions, not just administered them.
We understand local context
Employment law, labor practice and workforce makeup vary sharply between our markets. We look for people whose experience fits where you operate.
We handle sensitive searches with care
Replacing an HR leader often means the current one cannot know yet. We run those searches discreetly.
