Macdonald & Company, recruiters - any good?
I am checking them out on behalf of a friend in the UK who is talking to them about roles in Dubai. Obviously I have never had any dealings with them, but if anyone has dealt with them I'd appreciate their feedback. The contact there is a chap called Andrew Phillips.
Many thanks
Many thanks

We have had dealings with them in the past for PM roles - no problems at all.

Their current promotional campaign is awful. You have to vote for either a MacRoyal sandwich (whatever that is) or a Quarterpounder with cheese. The winner allegedly gets a quarter pound of gold (very likely) or a hotel stay. All voters automatically receive...wait for it...a free icecream sundae (Dhs6?) with their next order of either of the two aforementioned sandwiches.

They do quite a bit of placement in the architecture/planning sector including the project design side of development. Very legitimate.

LH - You are talking about the fast food chain (different spelling by the way) and not the recruitment company.
Regardless I would happily vote just to get a free sundae even if it costs only Dhs6..in fact that would be nice right now...

Brett: No.
Jules: Tell him, Vincent.
Vincent: Royale with cheese.
Jules: Royale with cheese. Do you know why they call it a Royale with cheese?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett. You one smart mother******.
Sorry Meow, but I think you've probably got sufficient validation of McD & Co's credentials.
