What to compare besides the fee

Candidates must not pay

Under UAE rules, licensed recruitment agencies charge employers, not job seekers. Any agency asking a candidate for money is a red flag.

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. One month's salary equals about 8% of the annual salary.
