Hiring in the UAE with a fixed fee
The price and the shortlist date are in the contract before we start. We search across 45+ countries and bring people who are not on the local market.
The fee is fixed in the contract before we start and does not depend on the candidate's salary. Most UAE agencies charge 15 to 25 percent of the annual package.
The shortlist date is a calendar date in the contract. You plan interviews and the start date around it, instead of waiting "a few weeks".
If the person leaves within the guarantee period, we replace them at no cost. Generous, but once.
