Solving Leadership & Project Talent Challenges | Cross-Border Bulk Talent & Executive Search Expert | Powering Project Scale-Ups Across Middle East, India & Beyond

Marking my calendar for HRSE Dubai 2025 — the biggest HR gathering in the region. Don’t miss out, join me https://lnkd.in/dJ3zzQ9a #HRSEDubai Informa Connect

The blue-collar market didn't collapse. It evolved.
And the 2019 playbook doesn't work anymore.

What's changed in the last few months:
🎯Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Senegal, Somalia, Cameroon - restricted 
🎯India's workforce stretched thin across global demand 
🎯Workers comparing offers more carefully than ever 
🎯Information traveling fast through worker networks

The pattern we're seeing:
Companies can fill 250 positions in 7 days.
But if there's a gap between what's promised and what's delivered, those same 250 positions are open again in 90 days.

The challenge isn't filling roles. It's keeping them filled.
Two different outcomes in the same market:
Group A: 87-92% retention 
✅ Salaries reflecting current rates 
✅ Clear accommodation standards 
✅ Ticket policies in writing upfront 
✅ Structured first 30 days

Group B: 31-45% retention 
❌ Still using 2022 budgets 
❌ Verbal promises, documentation gaps 
❌ Onboarding rushed or skipped
That retention gap costs real money—in recruitment cycles, project delays, and constant rebuilding.

The current sourcing reality:
India - Deep skills, premium pricing 
Philippines - Technical strength,complex paperwork,longer mobility timelines 
Sri Lanka - Quality workforce ,diversity crunch 
Africa - Emerging pipeline
But geography is only part of the solution.
The bigger opportunity: strengthening what happens after workers land.

Three things that separate stable teams from revolving doors:
i)Plan 30 days out, not 10 days before start
ii)Invest in the first 30 days properly 
iii)Track retention rate, not just mobilization count

Bottom line:
Blue-collar talent is still available.
It's just flowing to employers who've adapted their approach.
Companies optimizing for retention are building stable teams. Companies optimizing for quick fills are rebuilding every quarter.
Both work. One just costs significantly more.

What's your retention rate been in the last 6 months?

Placement Win! Sr.Manager – Export Sales | Leading Perfume & Cosmetics Brand

Huge shoutout to Toshi for closing this one — a truly niche search in the luxury beauty space!

Why it was tough:
🎯 Needed someone who could blend luxury brand insight with regional export strategy.
🎯 Deep GCC market understanding + cross-border commercial experience.
🎯 A leader who drives numbers without diluting brand essence.

After mapping talent across UAE, and the GCC, we found the perfect match —a beauty industry veteran with 10+ years managing global brands like Lancôme, Estée Lauder, and L’Oréal, now set to scale this brand’s export business across new markets.

In today’s market, the right hire isn’t just about experience — it’s about alignment, adaptability, and cultural fit.
👉 If you’re scaling your brand and need leaders who can deliver growth beyond borders, let’s connect.
#Placement #LuxuryHiring #BeautyIndustry #Fragrance #ExportSales #ExecutiveSearch #InfiniumAssociates #MiddleEast #UAE

Here's something we're seeing constantly in the UAE and the wider GCC right now: companies struggling to find specialized talent who actually understand how business works here.

Whether it's technology, oil & gas, aviation, fmcg, construction, facilities management, shipbuilding, or automotive — there's a real gap. Organizations need people who know their technical stuff and get the regional context.

It's not just about skills anymore. Hiring managers are asking: Does this person understand local compliance? 
Have they delivered projects in this region before? 
Do they know how client relationships actually work here?
But here's where it gets tricky. A lot of highly capable professionals — people with impressive global experience — get passed over simply because their CV doesn't show "GCC experience."

And that creates problems:
-Roles stay open for months
-Projects get delayed
-Teams miss out on fresh thinking that could move things forward
The smarter play? Combine regional know-how with global expertise. Build teams where local insight meets international best practices.
That's the approach we take at Infinium Associates. We connect clients with people who can do the job and hit the ground running in this market. Because hiring fast is one thing. Hiring the right person? That's what actually drives growth.
If you're building a team and need that balance of global experience and regional savvy, I'd be happy to chat.

Another week closed. Another reminder that talent doesn't wait.

As we wrap up another productive week, our desk closes with momentum across UAE, KSA, & India — and next week? We're scaling even harder.

While closing these executive searches, our bulk hiring desk is conducting major recruitment campaigns starting next week —interviews lined up across Construction, MEP, and Soft Services from India & Africa

Let's talk before the market tightens further.

Stop applying to 100 jobs a day.
You're not increasing your chances.
You're destroying them.

Here's what actually happens:
Your spray-and-pray approach:
Generic CV to 100 companies
5 seconds per application 
0.5% response rate
500 applications = 2-3 callbacks

The targeted approach that works:
🎯 10 companies you actually want
📝 Customized application for each
📞 Follow up with the hiring manager
📊 40% response rate
💪 10 applications = 4 interviews

Last week, I coached Fayez (mechanical engineer, 8 years experience).
His results:
❌ : September 100 applications → 2 interview
✅ October: 12 applications → 5 interviews → 2 offers

The difference?
He stopped being a number.
He started being a solution.

Want the exact template Fayez used?
Comment "TEMPLATE" and I'll share it.

Your profile is repelling leads.

And you’re not even realizing it.

Because, what you write on your profile ≠ what your prospects read.

The headline you love?
→ Prospects might see fluff.

The “About” you polished?
→ They might see nothing of value.

The “Experience” you’re proud of?
→ They might not even finish reading it.

Here’s how to fix it with AI:

Step 1: Export your profile as a PDF.
Step 2: Upload it to ChatGPT with the Brutal Honesty Prompt.
Step 3: Watch it tear your profile apart.
Step 4: Make it fix it for you.

It will sting.
But you’ll finally see your profile the way your prospects see it.

This isn’t about making it prettier.
It’s about making it convert.

Let AI roast and fix your LinkedIn profile LIVE

110M people watched Elon say “Delete LinkedIn.”

It’s the best signal ever, here’s why:

That’s a signal we’ve hit the Early Adopter phase.

Every platform follows the same adoption curve:

📈 Innovators → ignored.
📈 Early Adopters → called “cringe.”
📈 Early Majority → finally paying attention.
📈 Late Majority → jumping on the bandwagon.
📈 Laggards → still saying “it’s just a fad.”

LinkedIn creators are right in the middle of that second stage.

The same stage YouTube was in 2006.
Instagram in 2012.
TikTok in 2018.

There was a time when everyone laughed at TikTok dancers.

Now those “cringe” kids run billion-dollar audiences.

It’s the same playbook.
First they mock you.
Then they copy you.

(Then they pretend they were here from the start)

This tweet doesn’t mean LinkedIn is dying.
→ It means the world is watching.

“Loved your post <first name>…” is not personalization.

That’s a way to get ghosted.

But with ChatGPT-5, you can flip it:
→ Copy 20 posts + comments from a prospect
→ Let AI expose their priorities and patterns
→ Write openers that feel relevant instead of random

10 minutes of prep.
Zero creep factor.
Conversations that actually convert.

Save this post.
Try it on 10 prospects this week.
Book meetings instead of chasing replies.

Content isn’t a lottery.

It’s a funnel. (steal mine)

Most reps post and hope.
The top reps post with a system.

TOFU → pulls attention
MOFU → sparks conversations
BOFU → drives conversions

This guide shows you:
→ The goal of each stage
→ The content types that work
→ 5 examples you can post today

Save this post.
Start using it.

Turn posts into pipeline.

Stop making your LinkedIn feed look boring.

Yes, you’re responsible for it.

Because only when you follow the right creators….

The ones who break down strategy, not just share motivation.
Who show their playbooks, not just their wins.
And who actually teaches you something.

LinkedIn becomes your smartest scroll of the day.

This isn’t just a list.
It’s your new shortcut to a better feed.

Start following people who make you think.
Not just people who want to be seen.

Noam X Creators to follow and why

This must be the most underrated LinkedIn metric.

No one is tracking it (but should):

Comment impressions > Post views

Most people ignore them.

But I’ve seen single comments hit 15K-90K+ views.

No fancy visuals.
No hour-long writing blocks.
Just one sharp take in the right way.

If you’re not using comments to grow, you’re skipping the easiest visibility boost on the platform.

I leave 100-200 every day.

Because they:

→ Build trust without pitching
→ Show up on posts your buyers already read
→ Get you profile visits without even posting daily

This is how you turn comments into pipeline:

1. Say what others won’t

Push the conversation.
Not rudely, just honestly.
People remember real takes.

2. Add something valuable

Skip “great post.”

Say:
→ “We tested this last month and got 27% lift.”
→ “Took me 6 months to learn this. Wish I saw it sooner.”

The more useful and real you are, the more reach you earn.

3. Comment where your buyers hang out

Leave thoughts on posts your ICP already reads.
That’s how you borrow reach and build credibility.

Comment impressions = warm reach.

Use it, track it.
And turn visibility into leads, naturally.

Follow Noam for more ways to turn attention into pipeline.

Came across two new Substrata features that help you sense your prospect’s mood and seriousness before the call or meeting.

Honestly, these are some of the smartest I’ve seen in a while.

1. Outset: looks at the nuanced timing of how someone responds to your meeting invite. 

→ When they accept, ignore, ask to reschedule, mark it as tentative, etc.

These hidden signals can tell quite a lot about how serious they are. 

In some contexts, a relatively quick reply can be a good interest indicator.

While a last-minute reschedule or a “tentative” reply may signal low priority or low interest.

Meaning you might need to build more curiosity before jumping into your demo/presentation.

2. Joining Sequence

It kicks in around the start of the meeting and tracks other types of cues at the very beginning of the call. 

Who joins ahead of time (waiting room), who joins on time, who joins fashionably late or a bit too late, who shows up uninvited, etc.

These subtle cues reveal a lot about what's going on under the surface.

For dealmakers, these signals are gold.
