Case study · Recruitment & HR credibility
A medium size business did all their hiring informally through friends. Their HR did paperwork. Here is the journey.
Interviews without standard forms, and decisions resting on individual preference.
The journey
Select a stage to see what the business faced, what changed and why it worked.
Decisions rested on individual preference, and few people thought of HR as somewhere to go for help.
Recruitment was informal and inconsistent, and new joiners, many recruited internationally, needed practical guidance to settle into the organisation and the UAE. HR needed stronger relationships with employees and greater credibility with business leaders.
Redefined hiring strategy and streamlined processes. Redeveloped stakeholder relationships to strengthen confidence in HR’s ability to support.
Built around the competencies and attributes each role needs.
Shaily screened and interviewed candidates and gave hiring managers an informed assessment before they decided.
A standard offer email and a joining-documents checklist.
Covering policies, UAE and Abu Dhabi context, housing support, allowances and practical processes.
