At our new store opening in Johor, Robert Walters’ recruiter joined us for the event with the intention of understanding the situation on the ground, but saw an opportunity for recruitment and managed to fill 20 roles off his efforts onsite that day. We’re extremely grateful for Robert Walters’ proactive approach during our partnership.

Collaborating with Robert Walters has been fundamental in advancing our gender diversity initiatives. Their professionalism and dedication have enabled us to develop effective and sustainable strategies.

Continually improving the candidate experience at Uber is our North Star in Talent Acquisition. It is our obsession and so much work goes into constantly evaluating the candidate journey to see what works and what can be improved while keeping pace with changing candidate sentiment and change. However, it was truly enlightening to engage with Robert Walters as an external partner was not only a fresh pair of eyes but a tremendous amount of expertise in the space. The key thing for us is to identify actionable items that we can make happen at speed and at scale with impact, so to be able to achieve this with the diagnostic approach was fantastic.

We recognise that it is our people on the frontlines who deliver critical care to the most vulnerable in our community. This is why the experience of our managers and candidates is so vital: the people we recruit are the ones who carry out our mission daily. The recruitment landscape is rapidly evolving, and with the increased adoption of AI, a wide range of tools now impact on the process – for better and, at times, for worse. The Masterclass was an eye-opening experience for our Human Resources practitioners. It was invaluable to engage with Robert Walters, whose deep expertise and practical delivery made the session both insightful and relevant.

The Islamic banking & finance sector in Saudi Arabia is experiencing unprecedented growth, fuelled by the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030 agenda and its commitment to becoming a global leader in Shariah-compliant financial services. With increasing demand for talent in areas such as Islamic Capital Markets, sukuk structuring, Shariah governance, and fintech innovation, organisations are seeking professionals who can deliver ethical financial solutions while driving digital transformation and economic diversification.

Saudi Arabia’s position as the largest economy in the Middle East, combined with its robust regulatory framework and focus on sustainability, has made it a key player in shaping the future of Islamic finance globally. We're seeing heightened interest in ESG-aligned investments within Islamic finance, creating new opportunities for professionals skilled in both sustainable finance and Shariah compliance.

At Robert Walters Middle East, we specialise in connecting businesses with exceptional talent who can navigate this dynamic landscape, driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and contributing to Saudi Arabia’s vision of becoming a global hub for Islamic banking & finance.

Indonesia’s Islamic finance sector is undergoing a pivotal shift, with new regulations requiring banks and insurers to spin off Shariah-compliant entities by 2026 and 2027. This change affects every part of the business, from leadership and governance to risk, operations and marketing, creating demand for new pools of specialised talent. While Malaysia provides a valuable benchmark, Indonesia’s journey is still at an early stage, which makes the need for skilled professionals even greater.

At Robert Walters, we partner with organisations to navigate this transition and connect them with leaders who can build sustainable Shariah-compliant businesses.
