The growth of recruitment companies in Dubai and the surrounding emirates has boomed over recent years.

Despite this growth in recruitment agencies in Dubai, there are many negative stories on the net questions the legitimacy of certain agencies in terms of their practice and effectiveness for job seekers. When looking at recruitment companies in Dubai compared to the other cities theparisienexpat operates in, you’ll notice that a large proportion of agencies demand a registration fee to have the privilege of finding a job in Dubai. Needless to say there are solutions available which do not demonstrate this “fee model”, and it is our recommendation to try with these solutions before venturing down the paid services route. Reputable recruitment agencies are often seen advertising in leading publications, such as Gulf News, available Saturday – Thursday.
