Empleo Consultants is a reflection of Mariah Siddiqui’s passion for connecting the right people with the right opportunities. Her professional journey began during her college years at the American University in Dubai, where she was pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Finance & Management. At the young age of 22, Mariah was hired as a graduate trainee by Thomson Reuters, a prominent global information services company.
Over six and a half years, she raised in roles and worked closely with the leadership teams of the company. This opportunity allowed her to gain a profound understanding of the vital role that the right people play in an organization's success. Mariah realized that the numbers and financial data she dealt with were essential, but equally crucial was the presence of talented individuals in leadership roles who could make informed decisions and lead the company towards growth.
After her tenure at Thomson Reuters, Mariah took a career break to explore her professional path further. It was during this time that her passion for HR and recruitment was ignited, driven by her interactions with leaders and her deep appreciation for people’s contribution towards organizational growth. This newfound passion along with mentorship of her father led her to explore healthcare recruitment. Empleo Consultants was founded with a clear vision in mind: to address the human capital needs of growing hospitals, financial firms, and corporations by recruiting top-notch talent.
