History
iQ selection was created by Richard Ingram in 1997 to further broaden the services provided by the Ingram Consultancy’s executive search offering(now known as WoodHamill Ingram). As a contingent-based operation, iQ selection only charges its clients on successful completion yet we borrow much of our methodology from the executive search business model – a refreshing change from local cv services. Our tailored expertise across 8 sectors makes our group the largest recruitment platform in the Middle East.

Corporate
In July 2006, Imprint Group acquired iQ selection. This instantly provided a global reach to our operation. In May 2008 Imprint was itself acquired by Premier Group.The good news for our candidates is that we can offer them opportunities in 8 different countries through our 26 offices worldwide by leveraging relationships across the group. The even better news for our clients is that we can retain local focus and expertise yet add the ultimate ingredient – a global database for optimum candidate generation.

Emiratisation
iQ selection has consistently embraced the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable career paths for UAE Nationals. In 2006, 20% of iQ selection’s placements were UAE Nationals, predominantly into prestigious graduate programs with public and private sector organisations.
