A message from our founder.

“ The journey of building MCG Talent has been full of challenges, however despite this our team has persisted through hard work, resilience, and an unwavering desire to be the best.

Over the years, we've faced a wide range of obstacles, from economic downturns and market disruptions to intense competition and talent shortages, however through it all, we've remained focused on our mission of influencing client growth, placing world-class talent, and kicking ass.

One of the keys to our success has been our exceptional team of consultants in the Middle East and Asia. They bring a wealth of expertise and a dedication to excellence that sets us apart in the industry. We've also been fortunate to have a phenomenal operations, finance, and support team, who keep us grounded and focused on delivering the best possible service to our clients.

As a talent consultancy, we offer a range of services that include executive search, talent mapping, and leadership development. We work with clients across a variety of sectors, from finance and technology to healthcare and hospitality.

Looking to the future, we're excited to continue building on our strengths and expanding our reach across MENA & APAC.

We know that the talent landscape is always changing, but with our deep expertise, passion for excellence, and commitment to our clients and our team, we're confident that we can meet any challenge that comes our way.”

  • Never in my whole professional life have I met a talent search firm with MCG Talent’s knowledge of the communications profession, diligence, and willingness to work with candidates and clients to find the right match. Furthermore, their commitment to diversity and inclusion gives them a clear edge over their peers used to sourcing the same profiles of professionals in the same way.
