Navigating the job market in Dubai (and Abu Dhabi)
Welcome to Founders Social
Almost every founder at least once in their journey faces a decision: should I keep pushing, or is it time to find a job?
Most startups don’t make it past their first 5 years, and even successful founders often go through multiple ventures before finding a product-market fit.
Team issues, lack of traction, emotional burnout or running out of cash - these realities often force difficult decisions.
Some early stage founders face another dilemma - do I take on a job while building or do I go all in? There’s no right or wrong.
This time around we’re bringing you Stephen McCann.
Stephen draws on 20 years of experience in recruitment industry, 15 years of which right here in UAE. He's worked with companies like YAP, Geidea, Microstrategy, and recently his own - Insignia Search.
In this talk, we will cover:
What to do if the hiring manager is not replying?
What makes a recruiter respond to your msg?

Doors will open at 6:30 pm. The talk will start at 7:15 pm and conclude at 8 pm followed by an hour of networking.
