With a decade of experience supporting some of the world's leading organisations, we've built international talent networks and specialist market knowledge that allow us to deliver across industries, technologies and geographical boundaries.

Whether it's building an AI function, scaling a global engineering team, driving digital transformation or securing senior executive leadership, we connect businesses with the talent that makes it happen.

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.

2024

250K Followers on LinkedIn

A Quarter of a Million Followers...Wow! We are ecstatic to have hit this number. A huge thank you to everyone for their continued support!

2024

300k Followers Celebration

We made it to the big 300k followers on LinkedIn! Hurray!

2026
