Al Masaood | Abu Dhabi | UAE

Talent is one of the cornerstones of any organization and therefore Talent Acquisition lies at the heart of Al Masaood’s growth strategy. The Talent Acquisition team consider themselves the guardians of the talent selection process.

We have adopted a vast array of evaluation techniques which include stringent selection against identified KPIs, predictive analytics, portal advertising and online assessment tools including competency interviews and psychometrics to ensure we supplement our teams rightly. 

The great organizational transformation that took place over the past three years paved the way for the rising attractiveness of Al Masaood as an employer brand. This allowed us to make sure we hire only the best for Al Masaood. 

While demands of quality and speed of hiring are increasingly important, finding the right candidate for the job is as critical and challenging. It is often cited as the number one priority on the minds of Senior Executives and CEO’s.

Technology has changed the recruitment playfields tremendously. Rarely do we have printed CV’s dropped off to our offices like in the early days. The LinkedIn platform has become increasingly important for Al Masaood in developing various search parameters and connecting with professionals globally. With a tenth of the current global population active on LinkedIn, it is one of the best platforms to reach the choicest of prospect talent both locally and globally. With its advanced AI technologies we are also able to analyze individual’s attributes and duplicate profiles to help search for the perfect candidate. 

So, what do we look for when we scan the open pools of talent for Al Masaood?

Apart from all the technical capabilities, we look for individuals with values that are in alignment to Al Masaood’s values and vision. We also make sure they are a fit to our unique corporate culture. 

A 100,000 followers is proof to how many want to join our family!
