About The Company

Expat Careers International was established in 2001 to meet the demand for expatriate recruitment into the Arabian Gulf (GCC) region. Expatriate recruitment is highly specialised and requires first‑hand knowledge (gained through direct experience) of the destination country, job location and employer. Necessary too, is an in‑depth understanding of candidate qualifications, career experience and family situation in their countries of origin. Over the past twelve years we have had to recruit against a background of challenging issues including the effects of security concerns, political upheaval, economic booms and downturns.

Expat Careers International deals with these complexities by accurately assessing client needs and applicant suitability and motivation. This expertise is what our clients value and sets Expat Careers International apart from their many competitors.

Expat Careers International has emerged as the dominant recruitment company in the fast growing Mining and Minerals Processing industries in the GCC region, and also services this industry in West and Sub Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia
