Lack of professional Recruitment/headhunting Agencies in Kuwait

I agree, and the reason (IMHO) is ...... connections. Recruitment in Kuwait happens mainly through connections.

Not really, is goes beyond that.
Even to hire, not just getting hired, very difficult to find skilled and professional candidates, indeed there are, but few know about them, which is again, no professional recruitment agencies nor proper HR people. HR always seek third parties services overseas

heres the thing; a connection will get you an interview, your skill will get you the job.

in a world without borders, do not expect the headhunters to be in your geographic location to place you; i was called twice, looong ago, by two head hunters in kuwait - i can recall their locations but not their names, altho i think the one in dar al awadhi has long since closed down.

i also get calls from recruitment companies in India for positions outside of Kuwait.

their location is not important, whats important is that u keep urself relevant and keep your CV updated.
