Clarendon Parker, the international recruitment specialist, and Si Gulf, the corporate training experts, have announced a strategic partnership to provide clients with the region’s most comprehensive recruitment, training and human resources solution.

“Si Gulf, a division of the Si Group, one of Europe’s most successful corporate training companies, has provided the latest in business-to-business coaching and training to some of the region’s largest organisations,” a company spokesman said. The Si Group has a history of developing the staff of some of the world’s leading corporations, including Intel, Deloitte, Citigroup and Shell.
“Si Gulf brings a level of expertise and knowledge not yet present in this market, where the demand for high-quality corporate coaching is increasing rapidly,” said Patrick Luby, managing director, Clarendon Parker Middle East.
“This partnership will provide a professional, consistent, world class service in both recruitment and training to clients across the Middle East.”
Under the partnership, Clarendon Parker and Si Gulf will provide joint service delivery, using the synergy that exists between each of their core specialist disciplines - recruitment and training - to offer a whole HR solution.
“The corporate training market in the Middle East is still in its infancy when compared to other parts of the world,” said Jonathan Mellor, director, Si Gulf. “However, the demand for our service has been extremely encouraging since we began operations earlier this year.
“Si Gulf is committed to raising the benchmark of the region’s training industry and this link up with Clarendon Parker - another international-standard organisation with similar goals and aspirations - will help us reach a larger section of the business community.”
Both Clarendon Parker and Si Gulf are actively involved in regional growth programmes, with the aim of offering Gulf-wide HR solutions to clients around the GCC.
