Discover the region's experts


For nearly a decade, Discovered has operated at the centre of the region’s technology ecosystem. Today, we are proud to be the largest independent tech-focused talent partner in the region.

We’ve supported early stage startups on the path to unicorn status, partnered with governments and enterprises undergoing digital transformation, and helped scale some of the most ambitious technology companies across the Middle East and beyond.

As Ecosystem Partners to the DMCC’s AI and Gaming Centres and as speakers at industry events such as the Dubai AI Festival, we actively participate in shaping conversations around AI, digital infrastructure, and emerging technology across the region. We have also contributed to Dubai government led future-tech forums, supporting conversations around talent, innovation, and the future of the UAE’s technology ecosystem.

Our teams speciality lies across AI, ML & Data, Software Engineering, Product & Design, Cloud & Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Digital Assets & Web3, Immersive & Gaming, Creative & Digital, Sales and Marketing.

In addition, we organise and run communities including ProductTank Dubai & Abu Dhabi, Outside the Stack, CloudConnect, Talent Tribe, and several others, creating spaces where leaders connect, share insight, and move the market forward.

We are true believers in long term partnerships over transactions, trust over micromanagement, and building genuine ecosystems rather than simply filling roles. The result is a modern talent partner, trusted by founders, executives, and boards building what’s next.

Our values


  • Partnerships, not transactions

    We believe in creating long-lasting partnerships with our clients to help them grow and flourish, rather than chase a quick win or fee.


  • Collaborative

    Many hands make light work. It’s a cliché, but it’s true! By working collaboratively, we can find the right talent and make the required hire in a more efficient way.

  • Specialists, not generalists

    We dedicate ourselves to our industry. We're connected to it. By hosting networking and community events, we ensure we're up-to-date with the leading tech and trends.

  • Trust

    Trust makes the difference between a single hire and building a team. We don’t take this for granted. Trust has to be earned, and then it has to be maintained.

It has to start somewhere

Two guys, a couple of burgers and an idea to do things differently. Yes, it's true, Discovered was born in Denny's diner.

2017

We began to make it happen

Early 2017 we joined Astrolabs, Dubai's go-to start-up incubator, alongside the likes of Deliveroo, Bayut, Fresha and Deezer.

2018

It was time to spread our wings

​It was time to grow, so we left behind the co-working space and took on our first office, and first member of the team.

2019

We're gonna need a bigger boat (office)

The team had grown, so it was time again to pack the bags and find a new home.

2020

Dust off the suits, it's awards night

The region's best new talent solutions provider - we couldn't have agreed more.

2020

Bigger team, bigger space

Our continued growth meant we needed more space, so it was time for office number three. Based in The Dome in JLT, this office gave us serious New York loft vibes.

2022

Not another new office

​Yes, we had to move again. 2022 saw us grow the team to 20+ and we therefore needed more space, and better views!

2022

150,000 followers

150,000 LinkedIn followers - a huge milestone for us and our community.
