Market Mapping in Oman

InterSearch is the only global executive search firm with an office in Oman, and we have a long history of serving our valued clients there. We take our national responsibilities very seriously and one thing that we are very good at doing is encouraging and supporting Omani candidates to develop successful careers with both our international and local Omani clients.

One of the things that helps us to do that is to identify and know who are the Omani talent with special skills and experience that are in demand.

From time to time we do what is called a Market Mapping so that we identify senior Omani nationals in particular disciplines, whether or not they are currently looking for another opportunity. We then keep track of those individuals and they are the first people we call when a specific opportunity comes up that they might be interested in. We build a database of Omani National talent so that we know who they are for future opportunities, and we do all of this in strictest confidence.

Recently our Research Team focused on identifying very senior Omanis with excellent experience in three particular disciplines:

1. CORPORATE PLANNING

Candidates are in large corporations with the title GM Corporate Planning or Manager Corporate Planning, and are one level down from the CEO (or maybe two levels down in a very large organisation). Age is minimum 35 and above and he/she usually has an MBA from an overseas university.

2. FINANCE

Candidates are mostly in large corporations or group with the title CFO or Finance Director. Some are in the big 4 accounting firms, or in a large consulting firm. All are fully qualified and with a minimum of 10-15 years’ experience in this field.

3. HR

Candidates are in large corporations with the title GM Admin & HR, HR Director, VP HR, GM HR or Senior HR Manager. Candidates are one level down from the CEO (or maybe two levels down in a very large organisation). Age is minimum 35 and above and he/she usually has an MBA from an overseas university.

Please talk to InterSearch if you are looking for a senior Omani in one of the above disciplines. We can help you to quickly identify the right candidate as well as advise you on current remuneration in the market.
