The company

DQGA governs the Diplomatic Quarter in Riyadh, overseeing urban planning, tourism, and investor engagement initiatives.

Challenge & Objective

DQGA needed a surge of support across tourism, media, events, marketing, and strategy roles. Internal capacity was low and hiring cycles slow.

 

To provide RPO-style embedded support that could reduce time-to-hire and fill over 35 open mandates across multiple departments.

"IB stepped in when we needed hands-on help the most. Their team functioned as our own, and that’s what made the difference."
