A recruiter in Dubai built his business by meeting contacts face-to-face over coffee and shisha instead of staying in the office. He tells his team the time investment pays off in trust and referrals, even when it means traveling to Abu Dhabi for evening sessions.

I think within the first few days of me landing in Dubai, I was pitching people to go and meet them for coffees or shisha because ultimately that's how you build trust, that's how you build relationships, and that's how you're going to get referrals. There's still recruiters that I work with and know in the market who don't get the face time that they should be getting, whereas I advise my team to be out of the office. And if that means going down and driving down to Abu Dhabi from Dubai, which isn't that far, by the way, for like a shisha meeting in the evening or a coffee, you know, at the weekend or whatever that might look like, it's 100% going to be worth their time.
