Clarendon Parker consolidates at DIC as on-line recruitment moves to the fore

"Recruitment is increasingly being carried out on-line and the DIC telecommunications and I.T. infrastructure allows for file server and bits per second connection upgrades," said Patrick Luby, Clarendon Parker General Manager and owner.

The company, acquired by Luby earlier this year, previously operated two offices in Dubai - one in DIC, the other on Sheikh Zayed Road. The consolidation has seen the company move to new 2,000 square foot office with DIC opened this week by Dr. Omar bin Sulaiman, CEO, Dubai Internet City.

"It is good to see DIC's unique benefits assisting the development of tenants," said Dr. Sulaiman.

Clarendon Parker, which has dedicated teams devoted to market sectors which include I.T., telecoms, finance, customer services, construction and FMCG, is currently receiving between 600-700 applications a day and foresees substantial growth over the next 12 months.

"Within a year I envisage our daily application rate doubling," explained Luby. "Our new I.T. infrastructure will allow Clarendon Parker to handle the increase and will also rationalise our own employees productivity."

Clarendon Parker, which has Arabic-speaking recruitment specialists on its staff, also has consulting expertise provided by personnel qualified by the British Psychological Society in personality and skill evaluations.
