iQ Selection, the region’s leading Executive Recruitment Consultancy based in Dubai for 10 years through its parent company Ingram Executive Search, is going Techno!

iQ Tec a division of iQ Selection, is being launched to service the growing demand from iQ Selection’s existing client base and the wider marketplace, who insist on a specialized approach to ICT recruitment. It is essential in the current business environment to understand technology and to appreciate its advances, when sourcing key individuals for key clients.

Success, winning the Dubai Quality Appreciation Program earlier this year, and being the only Recruitment Consultancy ever to have done so, illustrates iQ Selection’s commitment to stay ahead of the game. The birth of iQ Tec will enable the provision of even higher levels of service to all ICT clients, building on the lead already established by iQ Selection over competitors.

Now more than ever ICT is demonstrating its ability to improve efficiency and quality, and to drive down costs. All business organizations spend a good proportion of their budgets on ICT, and making mistakes can be extremely time-consuming, not to mention costly. Making the right ICT decisions, starts with having the right people in place to do so. iQ Tec addresses the recruitment of these key staff, using the same proven recruitment methodology that iQ Selection has employed so successfully since its inception, but with a complementary understanding of the ICT marketplace. Within ICT, technical skills and understanding are generally the baseline for a recruitment profile, however, the soft skills of an individual must not be under-estimated, as they can be the crucial factor in a new recruits success.

Jason Knox has been recruited from the UK to implement and lead the new iQ Tec division within iQ Selection. He comes with over five years pan-European ICT Key Account Management experience, for blue chip organizations. Jason’s experience within ICT ranges from developing large-scale managed recruitment programs to directing Offshore Development and Testing projects and services. iQ Tec’s clients will have the comfort of having a dedicated ICT Account Manager and team who, have the experience of dealing with many other organizations similar to themselves.
