Thursday 4th November 2021Winners of the TIARA Recruitment Awards UAE 2021 were revealed at a Gala Dinner at The Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai yesterday, attended by 200 CEOs, senior executives, and leaders from the UAEs top recruiters. Held in the magnificent hotel ballroom, our finalists arrived to a red-carpet welcome for the drinks reception.

“Resilience is a fitting theme for the 2021 TIARA Recruitment Awards,” said David Head, Director at TALiNT Partners. “The Covid-19 crisis hit the staffing sector hard in 2020, companies downsized, re-grouped, and set out their stalls for survival.  Fast forward a year and Dubai is experiencing the hottest job market in 2 years. A complete turnaround and an exciting time for our finalists and winners to grasp the opportunity.” he added.

Salt was the biggest winner of the night, winning 3 Awards including Client Service, Best Specialist Recruitment Company of the Year and Best Use of Brand.

Aws Ismail, Director at Marc Ellis was awarded The Leader of the Year Award. A very worthy winner for not only continuing to invest in the growth of the business and development of his team, but also showing that he is a leader with heart, giving back and supporting his community through a difficult year.
