Whipping up new ideas... | Previously CBO @lemlist

Un truc que j’ai appris après avoir passé 3 ans chez lemlist, en passant de 2 à 22 millions d’euros d’ARR :

👉 90% du succès de ta prospection dépend de la qualité de ta liste de contacts.

Si ta liste est mauvaise dès le départ, tes résultats le seront aussi 🤷‍♂️

C’est exactement pour ça qu’on a lancé Cleon1, spécialisé sur le marché français.

Plus de numéros de mobile fiables et précis.

Moins de temps perdu.

Plus de deals signés.

Simple, non ?

Et en bonus, je partage aussi notre aventure entrepreneuriale, les hauts comme les bas !

Solving Leadership & Project Talent Challenges | Cross-Border Bulk Talent & Executive Search Expert | Powering Project Scale-Ups Across Middle East, India & Beyond

Recruitment in 48 Hours:
Monday: "I see zero value in agencies. Don't contact me again."
Wednesday: "You built our entire UAE sales team. We wouldn't hit these numbers without you."
Same week. Same job. Completely different reactions.

The Lesson:
➡️ Your service isn't for everyone.
➡️Some see recruitment as a cost, some see it as competitive advantage.
➡️Some ghost you mid-search, some call you first when expansion is approved.

The Mistake:
Trying to convince the Monday guy he's wrong.
The Breakthrough:
Finding more Wednesday clients who already get it.
Because Here's the Truth:
➡️Every "don't contact me" brings you closer to "where have you been?"
➡️Every rejection filters you toward the right clients.
➡️Every no protects your time for companies who actually value what you do.
Focus on the ones who appreciate it.
Let the rest figure it out themselves.

The ride's better when you're working with people who want you there.
Who else has had this exact week?
#RecruitmentLife #AgencyOwners #KnowYourWorth

Back after Eid. Hiring conversations feel different
Not stopped. Not collapsed. Just different
Some clients moving faster. Some hit pause. Some still deciding.
That's the reality.

What I'm Seeing This Week:
Three client meetings yesterday. One accelerating hiring (competitor weakness = opportunity). One postponed roles. One still deciding.
Same day. Three reactions to the same environment.
I've Seen This Before:
2014 Oil crash: Some cut. Some expanded while competitors retreated.
COVID: Some paused everything. Some built teams while talent was available.
Uncertainty doesn't affect everyone the same way.
Strategic companies see opportunity. Reactive companies see risk

What I'm telling candidates:
Don't disappear. Hiring didn't stop. It got selective.
The ones who stay visible get opportunities when things stabilize.
What I'm telling clients:
Plans changed? Just tell me. I'd rather know than guess.
Still hiring? Let's move. Good talent is available right now.
What We're Doing:
More conversations. More intelligence. More clarity.
Not hiding. Not pretending. Just working.

Because here's what I know:
These cycles always happen. Markets recalibrate, then move again.
The people who stay steady come out ahead.
Post-Eid. Market adjusting. Some fast, some slow, most in between.
Let's be honest and keep moving.
📍 Bluewaters, last week - reminded why this market always comes back stronger.
What are you seeing this week?
#PostEid #Hiring #GCC #MarketReality #Dubai

Monday morning. Markets uncertain. Business doesn't stop.
Last week, while everyone posted about AI, the Middle East escalated and the business conversation shifted overnight.

I talk to hiring managers and CFOs across UAE and GCC weekly. The tone changed.
What I'm hearing:
Three weeks ago: "Hiring aggressively in Q1, move fast." 
Last week: "Let's pause until we see how this plays out." 
This morning: "Actually, we still need that Finance Manager. Business can't wait."

The Pattern:
Initial caution. Then reality. Revenue targets don't pause for geopolitics Projects still need people
What's Actually Happening:
Some companies hit pause. Fair. Some stress-testing scenarios. Smart. Some moving faster, not slower. Interesting
Why faster? Uncertainty creates opportunity. Talent suddenly available. Competitors slowing means market share up for grabs. Companies with cash and conviction are hiring while others hesitate.

The Split:
Companies on hope: "Wait and see." Companies on strategy: "If revenue drops 20%, here's our plan. If not, here's how we capture the gap."

What hasn't changed:
Critical roles still need filling. Operations still need running. Growth still needs executing.
The companies that thrived through the last decade of regional uncertainty didn't pause every time tensions rose. They adapted and moved decisively when others froze.
For Our Clients and Candidates:
Business continues. Hiring continues. We're here.
If your plans shifted, we understand. If they accelerated, we're ready. If you're stress-testing, let's talk talent implications now.

To Everyone Across the Region: This market has navigated worse and come out stronger every time.
The businesses that win plan for multiple scenarios and move with clarity when others move with fear.
Monday, Week 3. Let's go.
