Executive Search in Lebanon

ART is an American executive search firm founded in 1987 that conducts senior management executive search assignments across the Middle East or Africa, on the pan-Mideast Regional, MEA, MENA, MEIA, pan-Africa, sub-regional, or national levels.

In Lebanon we recruit experienced, Western-trained Senior and Middle Managers for positions in the Middle East and Africa.

We recruit Managers for fast-growing global companies where the goal is to increase local market share or to increase the efficiency of the business unit. Often the best solution is to recruit managers who have strong track records of success in the markets of the Gulf, Africa, or the Middle East as a whole.

ART recruits top managers globally, so in addition to Lebanon-based candidates, if desired, a client company may also consider Lebanese candidates now living outside of the country, with the greatest concentration of candidates residing in Europe, North America, or the Middle East. Most of our candidates have been educated at major European or North American universities.

In addition to fluent Arabic, fluency or strong skills in English or French are of interest.

Our emphasis is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business ethics and business style of the company. The objective is to find a leader whom the company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers, suppliers, and employees in a way that they will find comforting.

Whenever possible, we seek candidates who have worked at their best in similar roles at well-regarded firms, often at our client's direct competitors or near-competitors. Familiarity with the target industry or market sector usually means faster success and greater organizational effectiveness.

We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. The goal here is to find a candidate who comes into the new job with the best chance of success.

Lebanon is a highly skilled, service‑driven economy with strong capabilities in technology, financial services, logistics, industrial operations, and commercial sectors.
