What Our Clients Say About Us
“If people believe they share values with a company, they will stay loyal to the brand.” – Howard Schultz
“Plum Jobs has been our exclusive recruitment partner for the past year as we have successfully recruited twenty-five senior level candidates through them for many of our projects across the MENA region. We feel that their network of construction candidates is very strong and all the candidates we recruited through Plum Jobs are of high calibre with excellent experience of successfully delivering high value MEP projects. This has helped us grow our company in the region and win new projects which I do not think we would have got previously as we are now competing for bids with excellent credentials. We continue to count on Plum Jobs as we expand.”

“We had advertised on the internet and asked for referrals in our networks for quite a long time but had not had any luck in finding an executive assistant for our CEO. We approached Plum Jobs through a recommendation and they took the time to visit us, understand the job. Within two days we had received 3 excellent CVs and by the end of the week we had found our candidate. She was professional, had excellent communication skills and was very well presented. We had not seen this type of candidate in our own search and our new executive assistant has been working very well with our CEO. We are very happy with Plum Jobs and now contact them for all our recruitment.”
HR Director
Global Manufacturing Company
“Plum Jobs has helped us establish our HR policies in addition to managing our recruitment. Since we started working with them, they have been very active in advising us on how to improve our HR activities and have handled some difficult employee issue very well. They have helped us assess our employees so we can improve our business as we have not had that level of HR experience in our company. As a business owner, I value their input as it saves me a lot of time so I can focus on managing my company, getting new clients and ensuring that all events exceed our clients’ expectations.”

“Over the past year, we have been working with Plum Jobs on four senior level searches as we need to headhunt candidates from the FMCG sector and our competitors. We found the candidates they shortlisted have the requisite seniority and gravitas. They liaised with HR and line managers throughout the process and we did not have any difficulty with the offers or onboarding. Our line managers now only want to work with Plum Jobs because they have built a great relationship with their team.”
Director of Operations

“Over the last six years we have filled over 100 vacancies across all departments through Plum Jobs. They have become one of our most trusted business partners as they truly understand our business and the type of employees we need. They have been proactively working with us on our organization structure, helping us identify future leaders and coaching our management to improve their people skills. I would highly recommend working with Plum Jobs if you are looking for HR expertise to elevate your business, managers and people”.
Group CEO
Multinational real estate development company
“We approached Plum Jobs to help us recruit a Finance Manager and during our initial discussion, through their in-depth questions we realized that our finance department was at a lower level than we needed for us business and fact needed we needed a finance director. We engaged Plum Jobs for a six-week assignment to evaluate our needs, assess our current staff, propose a new department structure with the skills required. They were very sensitive to the disruption and anxiety this may cause in the organization and treated all our staff very professionally with compassion. We were able to restructure, upskill some people and recruit new people for the vacancies. We now have a fantastic team with great skills and we even managed to save some overhead costs. We would not have achieved this without the expertise from Plum Jobs.”
Group CFO

“I found my new job through Plum Jobs so naturally when I started at the new company I started working with Plum Jobs to help me establish a competent sales and product marketing team for the UAE, KSA and Oman. Plum Jobs worked with the HR department and me to evaluate our existing team members, create the job descriptions and recruited people for new and replacement jobs. This saved us a lot of time and we have been able to create a new team that is working very well in these markets. It would have taken us a long time to find this calibre of candidates. The candidates are very professional, well presented and have a good track record of new business. As the management team is very impressed with Plum Jobs, we are now working with Plum Jobs for all our sales and marketing vacancies.”
GCC Sales Director

“Like most marketing and PR agencies in the region we had difficulty in recruiting and retaining the right client facing candidates which has negatively affected our business. My wife’s company has been working with Plum Jobs for their recruitment so I decided to work with them. I realized early on about the depth of their expertise in recruitment. Plum Jobs advised us on a recruitment and retention strategy that we have adopted which has significantly helped in improving the quality of people we are hiring. We have recruited six employees through Plum Jobs in the last year who are all still with us and they are contributing to getting new clients and our retention rate has increased. Working with Plum Jobs is one of the best decisions we have made and the time and cost that we have saved in recruiting the right people is invaluable as we can now focus on growing our business.”

“I appointed Plum Jobs when I joined the organization as the CEO as I felt that we lacked the HR skills and depth of experience that we needed to move our business into a new era. We required senior HR capabilities to evaluate our current organization structure, workforce capabilities, HR processes and systems and recruitment. In addition, we were also looking for guidance on our learning and leadership development as this had not previously been done. Aside from Plum Jobs leading our organization restructure, workforce assessments and implementing our HR processes and systems, we have made significant progress in recruiting more professional candidates who are performing beyond our expectations and have also seen steady performance improvements in our employees as they are learning new skills through the development programs that Plum Jobs has devised and implemented. We are continuing to work with Plum Jobs as they play a big part in our success and future.”

“As our business grew we required a bilingual HR Director and we were very pleased that Plum Jobs were able to help us recruit exactly what we needed. We had not used a recruitment agency before and we found the entire process very easy with them. We interviewed very good quality candidates and this made it easier for us to recruit someone. Plum Jobs helped us put together their induction program and settled our new HR Director into the role.”

“We have been working with Plum Jobs for over three years’ because they always support our HR team in finding the best candidate by giving us their insights of the local candidate market and salaries we should pay for the vacancies. They also help us with identify what skills we need in relation to our vacancies and have guided us on how to write better job descriptions. Their input has been invaluable for us and we continue to work with Plum Jobs for all our technical and mid and senior vacancies.”
HR Director

“Our company has been very disappointed with recruitment agencies as we have had very bad experiences with them in the past. Through a recommendation we started working with Plum Jobs for a purchasing role and have found them to be very different from other recruitment agencies in the region. Since we started working with them, they have helped us filled several of our vacancies and we have found them to be honest, professional and working in the best interest of the candidate and company.”
