European leadership for Gulf ambitions.

We place mid-to-C-level European executives into leading Construction, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Aviation companies across Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The Problem

Finding executive talent willing to relocate to the Gulf takes too long

Gulf-based Construction, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Aviation companies are scaling fast — and the leadership bench often can't keep pace.

01

Local pipelines run thin at the top

Regional talent pools cover mid-level operations well, but international-standard leadership experience is scarce.

02

Global search firms don't specialize in Gulf relocation

Most executive search firms don't have a dedicated pipeline of European leaders actively open to relocating.

03

The right candidate isn't job hunting

Strong executives are currently leading teams in Europe. They have to be approached directly, with a credible relocation case.

The Solution

A dedicated bridge between European leadership and Gulf industry

TalentScore places experienced European executives and senior managers into Construction, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Aviation companies across the Gulf.

Why European Talent

Why Gulf employers hire European leadership

International operational standards

European executives bring process discipline and quality-control practices proven in regulated home markets.

Proven track record in regulated industries

Experience navigating EU healthcare, aviation, and construction compliance translates directly into Gulf regulatory frameworks.

Fluent English, multilingual by default

Built for managing multinational teams — already the norm on major Gulf projects.

Genuine relocation intent

Candidates in our network are seeking multi-year Gulf appointments, not short-term contracts.

Who We Are

Executive search built on Lastick's Gulf track record

TalentScore is the executive-search division of Lastick Group, which has been placing candidates across the Gulf since 2019. That same regional network now powers a dedicated practice for mid-to-C-level European placements in Construction, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Aviation.

We don't run a generic search mandate. Every placement is handled by a senior consultant who understands the industry, the regulatory context, and what relocation actually requires.
