iQ selection to be called Morgan McKinley
Comments | Posted by Guest in Finance & Financial Services, Sales, Marketing & Support, Technical
The key to success is the ability to adapt and through thirteen years of operations, iQ selection has evolved in order to remain the recruitment consultancy of choice in the GCC. Now we are undergoing the biggest change to date – we are rebranding to Morgan McKinley!
But this is not an act of vanity. We have however recognised a growing trend, even during the recession, in which the global workforce is casting its net wider and looking for opportunities in multiple geographies. At the same time, our clients are competing globally (as well as locally) and demanding that the talent pool includes markets outside the GCC.
So we are delighted to announce, as reported in The National, that iQ selection is integrating its operations with global professional recruitment firm, Morgan McKinley and is rebranding its name and identity as a result. It’s no secret that we are already part of the same recruitment group but clients and candidates will now recognise a single and unified brand that operates from 24 offices in 9 countries and offers them a streamlined service as a consequence.
So with a new name above the door, but the same people and excellent service behind it – Morgan McKinley will now be able to better promote the GCC region as a career destination of choice for international talent.
One of the ways we’ll do that is through our new blog – in which we will discuss the latest trends, issues and insights into the recruitment market in the GCC. Our contributors are all relatively new to blogging – just another way in which we continue to embrace and implement change!
