Default Serious question about employment agencies

Have a friend who was high up in an insurance company in the company which has now been sold. New company owner has no need of the existing staff so they're all being laid off.

Can anybody recommend a good agency over here in Dubai as she's thinking it may be a good opportunity to make a move. Or alternatively give any idea of which agencies to avoid. Have googled and done searches on other forums but any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

She's not necessarily looking to get back into the insurance sector, just looking for an agency which isn't going to muck her around, promise the earth and deliver nothing.

And yes, she does know Dubai and it's pitfalls - she's not going into this search wearing rose-coloured specs.

ask her to have a look at www.gulftalent.com / www.monstergulf.com to start with to get an idea of agencies who recruit in her chosen field of expertise

www.arabianbusiness.com/jobs is also a good bet.
