Invested in your career journey

In my 12-year tax career, I haven't met a recruiter as dedicated, professional and friendly as Pooja. She was honest, hardworking and kind from our first interaction. Always on top of things, she manages expectations and follows up on every step of the process. Not only is she well-versed in recruitment, she also knows quite a bit about tax. I definitely recommend her to both employers and candidates as someone who'll get the job done in the best way possible.

Conor helped me in my job search moving from practice to industry. Given that he’s worked in this industry himself, I found he had a real understanding of what each role entails, and was genuinely interested in finding a suitable position for me. I found Conor very open and honest to chat to, and greatly appreciated this compared to some other recruiters I’ve dealt with. He was a pleasure to work with, and I have no doubt will build on this relationship going forward.

Pooja first reached out to me on LinkedIn about a potential opportunity. After a quick call, I learnt more about the different roles that may be available to me. Pooja also understood what I was looking for, and came back to me with another great opportunity. Once I had decided to go for it, the process was seamless and I was supported in every step, including interview tips, and the salary and start date negotiation. I would absolutely recommend Pooja and the Alchemy team, they were so helpful, supportive and professional.

Surabhi is one of the most sublime headhunters I've met. Great listener, well read and nimble. With her unerring guidance and seamless hiring process, I sailed through marking my first International Exposure with my new employer. An absolute credit to the profession!

Surabhi is an extremely dedicated recruiter who understands the requirements from both employer as well as candidate's end. She's professional, and constantly followed up with feedback and questions to keep both parties fully informed during the recruitment process

Weam really knows what she's doing. She sees both her client's needs, and the needs of the potential new hires. The most important thing when recruiting is actually to understand both parties, and Weam is the greatest when it comes to this.

Linnea Troeng Bank Audit and Compliance Manager, NOW Money

Weam was super to deal with. Very engaging, good feedback, good communication - and certainly went the extra mile as a recruiter. In comparison to other recruiters I've dealt with, both in the UAE and Europe, I'd highly recommend Weam from both an employer's and employee's perspective.

Brian Casey Recruitment Consultant Finance, Cooper Fitch

Weam is one of the best recruitment consultants I've dealt with. Incredibly talented, never misses a follow-up call - even during her vacations - and a genuine pleasure to work with. She's outstanding in her field, an absolute credit to the profession.

Mohamned Elsayed Wealth Investment Relationship Manager, Abu Dhabi Commerical Bank

Weam is a phenomenal recruiter who makes the entire process completely pain free for the candidate. From start to finish Weam was there for me, to walk me through offers, give advice and help prep for interviews. Working with Weam has been by far the best recruitment experience of my career, and if I ever need to use a recruiter in the future she'd absolutely be my first call.

James Evans Head of Finance, Tarabut Gateway

As a candidate, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Weam and I highly recommend her. Weam makes an effort to get to know you personally and maintain a relationship with you. This really helps in aligning your experience and career interests with the right opportunities - she definitely doesn't treat you like another 'transaction'. I appreciated her honesty, constant updates and open dialogue. She also gives good tips, and makes sure you're prepared and in the best position for the most appropriate role for you.

Weam's approach was very professional and friendly at the same time. What stood out to me was her promptness; she quickly found answers to my questions, and was able to provide useful tips before each interview. I look forward to working with Weam again in the future.

As a recruiter, Weam showed an understanding of my CV and professional and personal character that's rare in my experience. She maintains regular and honest dialogue, and goes over and beyond for a successful outcome.

Rita Messaike CPA, Australia

Weam is an expert in recruiting talented people in the UAE. She's very supportive and a great communicator. Besides that, she's direct and precise in estimating her client's possibilities on the market. I'd always recommend Weam to anyone in need of a new job or journey

Ahmad Aljanaahi CIA, CISA, MBA, CFE

Weam is passionate and determined in getting the job done, in fact well done! She demonstrates high level of commitment, dedication and excellent communication skills. Keep up the good work.

Throughout this whole process, Conor was the most helpful recruiter I have ever dealt with. He is experienced in recruitment in Dubai, he was also able to offer interview tips throughout the process. Overall, what separates Alchemy Search from other recruiters is that they genuinely care.I applied to numerous jobs and got in touch with several recruiters in Dubai. More than 90% didn't get back to me. If I didn't get in touch with Alchemy Search, there is a great chance I would have never got a chance to interview for a role, let alone receive a job offer.

Thanks to Conor and Alchemy Search, I have been given an opportunity that could end up being the best life decision and move I could make.

Shahid Ali Bayut

It was a true pleasure working with Weam. If I was to describe the experience in one Word, it would be “Refreshing”. She was always on point, knew the opportunities well, was there to bounce off ideas and concerns. Communication was impeccable, never once did I feel I was left in the dark. One of the best recruitment experiences I have ever had. A true Alchemist!

It was wonderful collaborating with Surabhi. Always available to clear your doubts or help you out, she’s very hands-on with what she does. I’d be happy to recommend her, both from a candidate and client perspective
