About the Company
We’re a small but fun team of incredibly passionate recruiters, who truly believe we can improve the recruitment landscape, celebrate Sunday mornings and help companies find talent at a reasonable cost. We’re a cross between an internal recruitment team and an external ‘traditional’ agency model.
We don’t follow the norm, we’re like modern day crusaders for recruitment agencies. At Jade we believe the most significant innovation is moving away from fixed fee model towards an unbundled format.
Recruitment has evolved, especially with the advent of social media, so we get why companies don’t want to pay 15% for introducing someone they could find directly on LinkedIn. What sets us apart in this already overcrowded market is our novel outlook on staffing – as a client you basically have the option to select the areas of recruitment you need and only pay for those elements. As a candidate, you simply register on our site and we promise to get in touch with you. (refer terms)
Jade offers recruitment solution at a reasonable cost across the deserts, we mainly cover – UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
