A warm welcome to our Mark Williams Q2 newsletter 2023. As always, we are excited to share with you the fruits of another successful quarter. This past season was filled with several significant achievements. We hit our Q2 target, celebrated the promotions of three outstanding team members, and cheered on as our colleagues Ashhar Ali and Anupama Santosh made their first placements with their own clients. We also watched proudly as our interns shined in their engagement roles. Furthermore, our marketing team, which expanded this quarter, achieved a significant milestone by reaching 100K followers on LinkedIn, improving our brand identity, and organising insightful webinars and career fairs that received positive feedback from our esteemed clients.

Company News and Updates
In Q2, team building took a front seat with our fun-filled “Bounce” and “Emiratisation” events. Fostering a culture that values teamwork and camaraderie, we celebrated birthdays and other special occasions together, strengthening our bonds and enhancing our collaborative spirit.
Staying true to our commitment to support Emiratisation, we utilised our expertise to align with this national initiative. By providing quality recruitment solutions, we were able to aid in driving the UAE’s vision of empowering local talent.
Tips and Resources
Over the course of the quarter, we’ve focused on not only building our own team but also on providing resources and advice to help job seekers and hiring managers excel in their roles. Our ongoing commitment to fostering growth and sharing knowledge has led us to produce and curate a variety of insightful materials.
