Macdonald & Company, a leading recruitment consultancy focusing on the property industry, has expanded its architecture and design recruiting team.

The new division has been created following the rapid rise of the regional real estate market, which is currently valued at $1.2 trillion.

It will cater to the booming demand for highly qualified architecture and design professionals by strengthening its current team with specialist consultants.

"We have highly qualified and experienced practitioners, specifically in the fields of architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design and planning. With an extensive database of over 180,000 candidates from across the globe," said Matthew Taylor, international director, Macdonald and Company.

During Cityscape Dubai 2008, consultants from Macdonald and Company will release the ‘Middle East Real Estate Salary Survey’ for 2008 for the property and real estate sector, said an official.

Founded in 1994 in UK, Macdonald & Company is the only recruitment consultancy accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.- TradeArabia News Service
