Testimonial:

“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.” “She’s available to speak after hours, which helps me as a busy business owner. We trust her consultative views when discussing candidate feedback. She knows our needs very well, and understands our company culture, which helps in recruitment. I’d happily recommend Pooja as a recruitment consultant, especially in Tax.”

"I had a wonderful meeting with Surabhi. She gave me sufficient time to understand my background, experience, and current situation. She informed me about the current job environment in UAE and the challenges candidates are facing in today’s tough job market. She also gave me some valuable tips and guidance on my job search.

I have seen that recruitment consultants in Dubai are generally very cold, rude and responsive to candidates. But Alchemy Search stands out from the rest. You believe in meeting candidates in person, understanding their career aspirations and concerns and building that personal bond which is so important. I’m sure this will go a long way in establishing your company as one of the best recruitment consultants in Dubai which will be revered not only by your clients but by your candidates as well."
