Private Recruitment Agencies

 

1. In the U.A.E., there are several recruitment agencies licensed to recruit foreign manpower.

2. These agencies are subject to specific conditions, they may not receive any fees from the workers in consideration of the brokerage to find them a job. These agencies receive a remuneration from the employers who ask them to call for labour from abroad. This remuneration will be agreed upon between the licensed agency and the employer who has the work permits from the Ministry to call for manpower from abroad.

3. Should a recruitment agency operating in the U.A.E. accept any amounts from any worker in consideration of his/her recruitment, the latter should report the issue immediately to the nearest labour department in the U.A.E. in order to take the necessary procedures against the owner of the concerned agency, as such agencies are prohibited from collecting any fees from the workers as per the provisions of the U.A.E. Labour Law, and the Ministerial Resolution which regulates the operations of the Foreign Labour Recruitment Agencies.
