Case Study: Emirates NBD achieves stronger hiring, diversity, and employer branding with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Emirates NBD’s journey from talent ambiguity to confidence

Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the MENAT region, was facing challenges in attracting future skills like digital and AI talent, improving internal mobility, advancing diversity goals, and strengthening its employer brand beyond the UAE. Before partnering with LinkedIn Talent Solutions, the bank relied on an inefficient, generic hiring process and needed better data to guide its talent strategy.

LinkedIn Talent Solutions implemented a phased rollout using LinkedIn Talent Insights, LinkedIn Recruiter, and LinkedIn Jobs, supported by tailored workshops and hands-on integration help. The result was improved hiring for in-demand skills, stronger female leadership and nationalisation efforts, and greater brand visibility across the region; Emirates NBD also reported that LinkedIn’s talent insights became central to its skills-based hiring and talent strategy.
