Staffing Agency in the UAE

Flexible staffing for UAE employers — permanent hires, contract teams and temporary cover, recruited by a Dubai-headquartered team.

Flexible Staffing

The Right Staffing Model for Each Requirement

Some roles need a permanent hire; others need a team for a project or a season. We help you staff both.

Staffing Agency in the UAE

Workloads in the UAE rarely stay still. Projects start and finish, peak seasons come and go, and new contracts can require extra hands at short notice. A staffing agency gives you access to screened candidates without building a large in-house recruitment team, and lets you match the hiring model to the requirement.

Cross Border Manpower recruits for permanent, contract and temporary needs across construction, facilities management, logistics, hospitality, engineering and corporate functions. We source in the UAE and through our Kenya operation, and you choose Direct Recruitment or Full Recruitment depending on how much you want us to handle.
