AE Platinum Masterclass
Your personal career strategist for architecture and design.
AE Platinum is for architects and design leaders who are serious about their next decade, not just their next job. It combines the full AE Masterclass with ongoing one‑to‑one strategy sessions with Hayley, so you have a trusted, senior recruiter in your corner as you navigate moves across the Middle East and Europe.
Projects.
AE Recruitment has placed candidates into some of the Middle East’s most demanding, creative and high‑profile projects — from landmark cultural destinations to complex masterplans and tall towers.
When you join AE Platinum, your strategy is shaped by the same market insight and hiring feedback that guides those placements. You see what senior studio leaders are prioritising, what they are overlooking, and how to position yourself so you belong in those conversations.
We’re here to help you raise the bar so you too, can work on some of the best and most exciting projects the Middle East has to offer.
Who is this for?
AE Platinum is designed for:
- Architects, designers and design leaders at a crossroads – promotion, relocation, on going mentor, confidence boost or a shift into a new type of studio.
- Senior candidates who want confidential, honest guidance from someone who speaks to Tier 1 studios every week.
- People who are done guessing and want a clear, ongoing strategy for how to position themselves and when to make each move.
This is not for job seekers who only need a single review. It is for people who want a long‑term partner in their career decisions.
What you get inside AE Platinum
1. Ongoing one‑to‑one strategy with Hayley
Regular calls where we:
- Review where you are now, where you want to be, and what is realistic in this market.
- Shape your portfolio, CV, LinkedIn and interview approach around that direction.
- Decide which roles to pursue, which to ignore, and how to negotiate offers with confidence.
2. Full access to the AE Masterclass ecosystem
- The complete AE Masterclass content, including any updates.
- Implementation guidance so you’re not just watching modules, you’re using them to change results.
3. Live hiring intelligence
- Real-time feedback from conversations with hiring managers and studio directors.
- Insight into what is changing in the Middle East and European markets, and how that should influence your decisions.
4. Clear actions after every call
Every session ends with a short, prioritised action list – what to update, who to approach, what to prepare – so you always know exactly what to do next, not just what to think about.
