The HR consultancy industry in UAE and other GCC countries is undergoing a radical change in terms of business growth. The idea here is to diversify the economy and attain development in various core sectors of the business ecosystem. Previously, the economy in the GCC countries was primarily driven by the oil industry but now times have changed. The growths in core sectors like healthcare, hospitality, infrastructure & real-estate are increasing the demand for skilled professionals across domains. This is making way for recruitment companies in formulating niche recruitment services in accordance with the client requirements.
Consultants that understand not only how the models work but how and when to use them to mutually benefit all parties involved to supplement the traditional employer/employee sponsorship model. In this dynamically evolving business landscape, businesses are facing challenges in maintaining operational efficiency and are in need of trusted recruitment service providers. J10 Consulting is a specialized white collar Construction Recruitment and HR Consulting across multiple verticals including Architecture & Design, Civil Contracting, FM, Interior Fit Out, MEP, PM/CM & Cost Consultancy, Power & Energy and Rail & Infrastructure.
The strategic integration of HR procedure process and practices is integral to what J10 strives to provide both clients and candidates across all its recruitment solutions, perhaps even more so when considering the outsourcing and EOR services whereby talent is employed under the J10 banner. “For all verticals we can offer traditional contingency recruitment, temporary outsourced contract hire recruitment and Employer of Record services across all geographies in the GCC. Our approach is one of a commitment to helping both careers and businesses grow through collaborative engagement and a deep understanding of both clients and candidates requirements for their next hire or career step”, states John Mason, General Manager, J10 Consulting.
Operational Excellence
J10 works with all parties to align understanding in terms of expectations, implementation, outlook and objectives through enhanced communication and collaboration. The aim of this is to streamline processes and systems leveraging the data and analytics available and drive innovation and change.
This ultimately leads to improved efficiency and performance of the business while fostering a culture of engagement, development, retention and satisfaction of talent. J10 is actively engaging with clients on the importance of talent sentiment analysis, both internally and market wide, extending beyond the salary and package on offer to the need to meet and exceed expectations relating to other important factors such as the capability to work remotely/flexible working arrangements, the opportunities available to up-skill, train and develop new or existing skill sets, initiatives relating to mental health & wellbeing, career growth opportunities, job security (especially pertinent in an ex-pat dominated work market), recognition of and for achievements and overall employee experience thereby increasing brand perception as an employer of choice in an increasingly competitive market for talent.
HR Consulting has evolved with time from administrative support to strategic business partnerships. J10 Consulting approaches every client as a strategic business consultant with a core focus on the individual and specific needs of each organization on a per case basis leveraging the motivation to understand client expectations, practices, policies and processes while being cognizant of earned value, quality and fiscal nuances to develop solutions that work well beyond the HR unit to support the entity as a whole achieve its business goals. “Key to our ability to tailor a specific recruitment model to each client is a conscious awareness and deep knowledge of the Construction market as a whole coupled with the unique needs of each individual client and ensuring precise problem-solving to achieve organizational targets. We craft recruitment and HR solutions that are appropriate, relevant, and properly scaled to drive success in the present and adapt to evolving challenges”, mentions John.

Future Projections
J10 has emerged over the course of the past five years as the recruiter and solution provider of choice for over 50 clients across the verticals it works in within construction. The company’s objective is to become the name in the UAE market synonymous with Construction Recruitment solutions. It will continue to embrace new technologies, evolve, develop and perfect its delivery and solutions with the aim of providing cost effective & market leading service and supply metrics.
The logical next step in the growth of the business in the Middle East is to open an office in KSA to further support the growing client base in the rapidly expanding Saudi Market which would serve to embellish what it already does by having a dedicated team on the ground in the Kingdom. "In amongst that, talks are ongoing with a potential franchise manager to develop the J10 brand in the UK market which we can hopefully see come to fruition as we turn the corner into 2024. While we are not against considering entering new markets outside of construction, we do not want to lose focus, dilute or devalue the name and reputation of the brand by not having the capability to deliver to the level that clients are accustomed to when choosing J10 as their strategic partner”, concludes John.
