Guide to Recruitment Agencies in Dubai
Understand How Dubai Recruitment Agencies Operate To Exploit Them
Don’t you wish there were a way to get recruiters in Dubai work hard to find a job that’s just right for you? You must be wondering: "with all the opportunities in Dubai, there got to be a company and a position that is just right for me. How can get recruiters in Dubai to find that position for me?" I will tell you how!
Many job seekers approach recruitment agencies as if the recruiters will find employment for the candidates just out of kindness in their hearts. That’s not the case. Think of employment agencies as retailers, your profile is their merchandise. Using the advice that I’m about to give you to bring your profile from the “back” and put it right in the showroom or even in the display window right in front of shopping employers!
There are hundreds upon hundreds of recruitment agencies in Dubai
First, you must understand the following:
How Do Legitimate Dubai Recruitment Agencies Make Their Money?
The larger the package you get from your employer, the more money the employment agency that brokered the transaction makes. That’s how legitimate recruitment agencies get paid. Recruiters will help you get as high a salary as possible. They will tell you how high your potential employer might be willing to go. If they don’t, ask them.
Getting the Most Out of Dubai Recruiters
Now I will give you tips and information on the most effective ways to utilize recruitment agencies in Dubai and maximize the outcome of your efforts. First:
How to Make Dubai Recruitment Agencies Forward Your CV/Resume to Employers
Here is the wrong way that people usually use to approach recruitment agencies in Dubai:
Some people will scour the internet and go from Website to Website looking for the contact information of recruitment agencies and after having wasted so many hours they will have a list of 50 or so of the emails of recruitment agencies. They will then send their CV to the recruitment agencies and just wait, hoping for a phone call. Unfortunately, they never get it!
You may have experienced that yourself and you’re wondering why your efforts didn’t pay off.
Build a Relationship First
The real way to get a response from recruitment agencies and get them to work with you in order to find a job for you is establish direct relationship with them. Well, not with the agency, but with an individual recruiter who works there.
This is actually easier than it seems. Let me explain: in each recruitment agency there are several individual recruiters with each recruiter specializing in a specific industry; that’s a recruiter for finance and banking, recruiter for IT, recruiter for construction, etc. To get real results out of your job search effort, you should work directly and personally with the recruiter that specializes in your industry.
Jump starting a relationship of this kind with many recruiters simultaneously is really easy. I tell my subscribers about the methods I used to do it.
Resume Sending Tips

Hi Rashid,
The problem is this: there are obvious ways to look for a job. For example, apply to job postings online. But because these ways are obvious, everybody is using them. Because everybody is using them, there is too much competition and noise, so it is difficult to get noticed.
Then — there are other not-so-obvious ways to look for a job. These other methods are very easy, but not everybody uses them because they don’t know about them. With these other methods, jobseekers get a much better response. For example, one of our users has recently secured 5 interviews in a little over 3 weeks. She simply followed the advice described on the homepage.
I don’t think paying a recruitment agency a fee will increase your chances. The jobseeker I just mentioned didn’t pay any recruitment agency.

I am plaaning to visit Dubai by frist week of October, exploring career opportunities in IT sales roles, I bring 5 yeras of global business development expereince, based in Bangalore.
Can i know the current IT market trends in the middle east,
1. Does it make sense starting my search on visit visa?
2. How can i tap opportunities in internet city, Dubai?
3. What are the indicative salary range for IT sales roles in Dubai?
your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alex
Hi Alex,
Yes, you can definitely start your search on a visit visa. You’ll have to exit the country though and come back in order to change your visa. You cannot change it from within the UAE.
To tap into opportunities of Dubai Internet City (DIC), I’d recommend that you use the free guide that we provide on researching companies. You’ll be able to uncover a lot of information on DIC companies.
As for your salary, we also provide a guide that can help you easily determine your salary.
Good luck,
Mohammed

Hi Guys!
Danish Rasheed Again, i was going through today with all the new posts, i want to bring Attention to Mr.Safi here that now the need of the time is to have a “Hall of Shame” for all those dirty con Artists out there. We can have their names numbers and all the online listings on that page so people can give reference and save their hard earned money, because of the Recession everyone is searching for a job, so people are desperate and in desperate situations, you sometimes overlook the negetive points. Also it will be the platform for Good Agencies where other people can advise an agency who is really doing good work. Please work on it, if you need That Pages Moderator i am willing to offer my services without any charge and i am sure many like me would be willing to contribute without any return,
May Allah Subhana~Wa~Tallah Be Pleased with all your efforts. Aameen

Hi Danish,
Understandably, many jobseekers are feeling very passionate about those preying scammers online. We have created a specific page on this website that’s dedicated to the scams issue. We have moved all those posts that are exposing scammers to that page.

my name arone from south aerica i em lukink eor jobs in dubai i em contract facility i work so many diferent country please ahu u can help me.
I don’t know how to react. I don’t want to over-react to life’s reality, but the U.A.E i used to learn about in my social studies textbooks in my childhood days has definitely changed……….a lot, I suppose.
And defining “Humanity” is getting difficult by the day in this dog-eat-dog millenium.
All said and done, thanks, people for sharing your bad experiences with me, especially, as i have just come to this country last month.
thank you for your recommendable services i would like much to receive all the employment vacancies posted through my email looking forward to my sincere request
Hi Alexandra, I have received a few requests of similar nature. I think your best bet is to use the list of 50 recruitment agencies that we provide to contact those agencies and explore possible partnership opportunities with them.
Good luck,
