I've interviewed a dozen fresh graduates this month and had to turn away several who were genuinely good — we only had one seat. If you're building a marketing team, say so here and I'll point people your way. Posting this because the junior market is brutal right now and most of it happens through WhatsApp groups nobody outside can see.

We're opening two junior seats in January. Happy to take referrals — and I'd rather see a portfolio of small real campaigns than another certificate.

Which companies have the best employer branding?

Not asking who has the nicest office — asking who actually makes you think 'I'd take a call from them'. Anghami and Murex come up constantly with engineers. Toters and Roadster seem to have figured out the ops-side story. Curious who else is doing this well, and what specifically they're doing beyond posting team photos.

Is TikTok advertising worth it for B2B?

We shifted 30% of our Meta budget to TikTok last quarter. Reach is genuinely cheap and the audience is there, but attribution is a mess and our checkout conversions barely moved. Is anyone getting real revenue out of it locally, or is it awareness only until payment friction gets solved?

Hiring locally vs remotely?

We can hire a strong senior engineer in an emerging market for what a mid-level costs us in the Gulf. The counter-argument from our investors is retention: the good ones get recruited abroad within two years. My view is that two excellent years beat four average ones, but I'd like to hear from people who've lived through the churn.
