Recruitment in Abu Dhabi

We recruit for Abu Dhabi as well as Dubai. The main difference for clinics is the licensing authority; for salons and households the process is almost the same.

Talk to us

Medical staff: DOH, not DHA

In Abu Dhabi doctors, nurses and therapists are licensed by the Department of Health (DOH). A DHA licence from Dubai does not automatically allow practice in Abu Dhabi; the candidate needs a DOH licence.

Salons, households and office roles

Work permits and visas go through MOHRE and ICP as in the rest of the UAE. Domestic workers are sponsored by the family.

Salaries

Salaries are broadly similar to Dubai; for some roles Abu Dhabi employers add housing or transport to attract people from Dubai.

How we work

Remote search across the UAE, interviews online, and the same terms. Our fee is one month's salary of the placed employee: 50% when they start and 50% after probation, with a free replacement within 2 months.
