Oil and Gas Job Search building on its Middle East successes with a new base in Dubai

Tuesday, Nov 22, 2011

Oil and Gas Job Search is opening a new office in Dubai in December as it aims to consolidate recent successes in the region.

The industry leading job site posted a 55% rise in turnover for the 12 months to the end of August with the Middle East accounting for around 20% of total sales.

The past year has also seen high calibre client wins in the region such as ADCO, while long-standing clients like AMEC and Mubadala have helped establish the job site in the area.

Oil and Gas Job Search offers clients, both oil and gas recruitment agencies and companies, services to advertise jobs as well search and source skilled professionals.  Brand enhancement via online ads and bespoke email marketing are also widely used.

Oil and Gas Job Search currently counts over 400,000 registered oil and gas professionals on its database.  It has over 300,000 monthly visitors generating some five million page views.

Duncan Freer, Managing Director of Oil and Gas Job Search, comments: “The Middle East has always been a key region for us, a place where we have always performed well.  So, it was time that we built on our success and ambition with a new office to push forward our profile.”

The new office has led to the appointment of Karim Abdellaoui who will head up business development in the region.

Freer comments: “We have achieved terrific success in the Middle East.  It is a business culture we understand and work well in.  The new Dubai office is testament to our past successes and our commitment to have the region at the core of our business strategy and growth.”
