"Definitely, Robert Walters has lived up to the expectation”

In the late April of 2018, AMC Cinemas opened their doors to the Saudi public for the first time – attaining the lofty title of the Kingdom’s first official cinema.

The cinema’s flagship location is a geometric marvel you can find situated in a central plot on the King Abdullah Financial District – has since become a staple of the Saudi entertainment industry. 

A year later, AMC’s relationship with Robert Walters commenced and owing to the success from the first placement of a Deputy General Manager – an honourable relationship was built and has since led to 16 more Deputy General Managers being suitably placed. 

It was only after ensuring they had a thorough knowledge of the exact requirements for the role, that Robert Walters began a hiring process that exclusively head-hunted top tier Saudi national candidates. 

AMC wanted quality, homegrown talent – so, individuals who were qualified from top business organisations with international exposure were carefully filtered for within the local Saudi market. 

Personality was one of the key characteristics to consider before hiring and so, this was accounted for in the form of candidate’s personality profiles being assessed in accordance with culture and living in Saudi Arabia. Not only that, but all candidates were well-informed about AMC Cinemas and a connection to the company was established. 

The process was completed with each enthusiastic candidate being carefully transitioned into their new roles as part of the entertainment industry to build towards the goals of Vision 2023.

“I would like to start by stating that AMC Cinemas has been pleased with level of services and support we have received from Robert Walters. Looking forward to continuing this professional relationship” – Sharaf Yamani, Recruitment Manager

“Definitely, Robert Walters has lived up to the expectation when it comes to providing the right caliber of candidates and providing alternative solutions when needed”
