Management Accountant I have been very impressed with the quality of service I have received from focus direct. Fast, Efficient, Professional and Friendly Service without unnecessary time wasting. The support and advice I received helped me make it through the interview process. I knew I could count on the consultants to get back to me when they said they would and to have the courtesy to call - something which is rare in the UAE and this alone sets them out from much of their competition. Also they found me the exact job that I wanted in the location that is so convenient for me. And above all it’s really nice to know that I can still count on them. Solange |

Chief Financial Officer My sincere appreciation for the work done by focus direct in successfully placing me as Chief Financial Officer of a large and fast growing organisation in Dubai. I am deeply impressed by the professional approach of focus direct in understanding the needs of the company on the one hand and the potential candidate on the other; and then trying to match both. In doing so, focus direct has exhibited keenness of analysis of my strengths and weaknesses to see whether my profile will meet the requirement of the company. Similarly focus direct investigated with me in detail regarding my career aspirations that might have an impact on a career move. Rather than finding someone with a good CV, you have gone that extra mile to make sure that the candidate placed by you will succeed in the new company. I think finding the right match requires skill and I thank you for that. I appreciate the close follow up by focus direct Management Consultants from start to finish as well as the role that you played in negotiation.
Many Thanks once again Chief Financial Officer |

Chief Financial Officer Overall the service at focus direct has been professional. I truly appreciated the process of pre screening before forwarding the candidates to the client. This is quite rare, with many other consultants who generally do a mere coordinator job of sending the resumes to the client and expect them to screen.
The other aspect that was refreshing was that focus direct has always been available on the phone and was always keeping me updated on the developments. Thank you very much for all the support. Chief Financial Officer |
