              Tarik

CTO, Global Energy Company. Dubai

"After being made redundant, I was in a tough spot.

I needed to get back on the market fast, but I didn’t want just another job to pay the bills, I wanted to find purpose.

Yassine quickly helped me pivot to a meaningful CTO role and Al hamdullilah, I’m now in a role that truly feels like a new chapter."

HR Director MENA, MNC in Engineering Services. Dubai

Client Testimonial Phil

"Moving to Dubai from the UK with my family was a big shift.

Despite my HR leadership experience, the market here was unfamiliar and I wasn’t landing interviews.

 

Yassine helped me position myself effectively, refine my approach, and avoid the usual mistakes.

Thanks to his guidance, I’ve now secured my first role in the UAE. Highly recommended for anyone navigating a similar transition."

Every one of these stories started with uncertainty, just like yours might be right now.

Let’s work together and get you to where you want to be.

Meet your Career Coach

Hi, I'm Yassine

I spent 13+ years in Executive Search and Talent Acquisition, leading senior and C-level recruitment across the UAE and globally. I built teams for Fortune 500s and regional giants, finalising over 700+ successful placements. I’ve reviewed thousands of CVs, led hiring strategy and sat on executive panels — so I know exactly how decisions are made, and why great candidates get ignored even when they tick every box.
 

Why I built SY Executive

I saw too many experienced professionals getting overlooked, not because they lacked ability, but because they didn’t know how to position themselves. 100+ applications, countless LinkedIn messages, guessing a job search strategy… and still no traction.

 

I started SY Executive to fix that and to give ambitious professionals a clear system that actually works in today’s competitive market.
 

Struggling to break into the UAE job market?

Here’s the good news: you’re not the problem. You were never taught how hiring really works. That’s my job. And I’ll help you fix it.
