Hiring Shift: Compliance, Capital & AI Talent with Oscar Orellana-Hyder

With Tom Stroud & Sye Rahman
Feb 17, 2026

What’s in this episode?

In this episode of GCC Tech Talks, we take a different angle: less tech, more talent — and what it really takes to build teams in the UAE’s fast-growing financial ecosystem.

Tom Stroud and Sye Rahman are joined by Oscar Orellana-Hyder, founder of a boutique recruitment firm focused on DIFC and ADGM, to unpack how the market has evolved — from regulation and compliance hiring, to the end of “fly-in, fly-out,” to how AI is changing recruitment workflows.

We cover:

  • Why commitment to the region now matters more than ever

  • The rise of compliance, governance, and regulation as growth enablers

  • How global firms are treating the UAE as a real investment hub

  • What AI is changing in hiring -  and what still needs a human touch

  • The shift toward family offices, private capital, and new asset classes

If you’re hiring, relocating, or building in the GCC -  this is a practical look at what’s driving the UAE’s next wave of growth.
