Brighter outlook for compliance professionals

Looking for compliance jobs in the Middle East? Barclay Simpson recruits compliance professionals at all levels across regulatory risk, compliance monitoring and advice, AML, fraud and financial crime. We recruit for all areas of the financial services industry across the Middle East.

Demand for compliance professionals was subdued in the later part of 2009 and early months of 2010. Although there remains a consensus that regulatory and compliance frameworks in the Middle East region require strengthening, budgetary restraints are still adversely affecting demand for compliance professionals.

However, demand is starting to grow, particularly in Qatar and Saudi Arabi, where many companies are investing in their compliance departments. The number of skilled and experienced compliance professionals in the region means that those companies who are recruiting are able to recruit excellent candidates at competitive salaries.
