Recruiting for Strategy& Middle East

I was wondering how the recruiting process works for each country's specific office. The application is for Strategy& Middle East, so do they just collect them all and distribute to each country's recruitment? Or do they hire in one location and then after decide which office is the best fit. For instance, for Egypt's office, is the recruitment for that office specifically?

Hi there,

For Strategy& Middle East, the recruitment process is centralized. You apply to the region as a whole rather than to one specific country office. The HR/recruiting team screens candidates and then matches them to offices (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, Cairo, etc.) based on business needs, language skills, and sometimes candidate preferences. You don’t apply only to Egypt or only to UAE – instead, you go through the same interview process, and office placement is decided after you receive an offer. For Egypt specifically, they recruit through the same regional process, and successful candidates are allocated there if there’s a fit and demand.

Happy to help you prep – feel free to reach out.
 

Best,

Hey there :)

For Strategy& in the Middle East you don’t apply to one country office directly but go through a joint regional recruiting funnel. Interviews and assessments are managed centrally, and only after you receive an offer do they align you with a location like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha or Cairo. The actual matching depends on staffing needs at the time, your language skills, and sometimes your own preferences, but Egypt for example is not a separate standalone recruiting track.

best, Alessa :)
