Permanent Recruitment for UAE Employers
Long-term hires for your business — sourced, screened and placed by a Dubai-headquartered team with sourcing reach into Kenya and East Africa.
Long-Term Hiring
Build a Team That Stays
Permanent hires shape your culture, safety record and delivery capability. We help you get them right.
A permanent vacancy costs more than the salary it leaves unpaid: it slows projects, stretches supervisors and increases the risk of rushed hiring decisions. Our permanent recruitment service gives UAE employers a structured way to fill long-term positions with people who have the right experience, documents and motivation to stay.
We scope each role with the hiring manager, search the UAE and our Kenya sourcing network, verify experience and references, and present a shortlist ready for interview. With Direct Recruitment you pay a one-time placement fee; with Full Recruitment we also manage mobilisation. For a full overview of the service, see our Permanent Recruitment Services page.
