Natalie Saginashvili, Marketing Lead at IBC Group

(Mario Nawfal's project), Dubai

Jaya Talent is one of the best, if not the best agency I have worked with so far. They are not here just for business; they truly care about their candidates and do everything in their power for their success.

Zhanna discovered me even before I started any active searches and managed to find a “perfect match” job for me in less than 30 days.

She doesn’t just send you the job description. She follows you up with you every step of the way and makes sure that the process is as smooth as clockwork. Thanks to her, did not have to go through multiple, long interviews. She provided me with every detail about the company, and the hiring company knew everything needed about me too. I was hired only after 2 short meetings.

I am very thankful to Zhanna and the whole Jaya Talent team for their exceptional support and I would recommend working with them without question. They are the best!
