I know them from the UK, and have had cause in the past to question their motives.

They are quoting jobs between AED25,000 and AED45,000 at the minute - I trust this is per month as they do not make it clear. This is for a project Architect. I have asked them to clarify this.

Re: Macdonald and Company?
Macdonald are just like all the others, you have to bug them constantly to get anywhere. They do not offer a personalised service and will tend to put you forward for jobs where the biggest commission is for them rather than what might be best suited.
I actually once had them try and dissuade me to take a job offer via a rival firm, because they had a candidate up against me. They were that stupid they thought I wouldn't realise. I then made sure my new company stopped using them.
