About the Meetup

Co-Creating Great Hires: An Unfiltered Conversation with UAE Talent Acquisition Leaders

​Part Two — Now Hear It From the Other Side

​Following the strong response to our previous session, where HR professionals explored how to better collaborate with recruiters, the conversation now shifts perspective.

​This time, we bring the voices from inside organisations into focus.

​Join Roy Vaz, Shereen Ghanem, and Jonathan Gould, in conversation with Javeed Ashraf Khan for a candid, no-filter discussion on what it truly takes to make great hires in today’s GCC market.

​No theory. No generic frameworks. Just real insights from leaders who are actively hiring, building teams, and navigating the complexities of today’s talent landscape.

​Expect an honest exchange on what’s working, what’s not, and where the real gaps lie between candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
