Recruitment agency in the UAE

Horizon GCC recruits for employers across all seven emirates from our Dubai office in Business Bay. We handle senior and specialist search, mid-level professional hiring and volume manpower, with overseas sourcing, documentation and mobilisation managed end to end.

Where we hire across the UAE

One team covers the whole country, so multi-site employers keep a single point of contact.

  • Dubai — corporate, commercial, hospitality, logistics and construction
  • Abu Dhabi — energy, industrial, government-linked and infrastructure employers
  • Sharjah and the Northern Emirates — manufacturing, facilities and warehousing
  • Free zone and mainland entities, including new market entrants

What UAE employers ask us for

Mandates usually fall into three shapes, and often run together on the same project.

  • Confidential search for leadership, HR and specialist roles
  • Professional and technical hiring at mid and senior level
  • Volume manpower for construction, facilities, industrial and hospitality operations
  • HR outsourcing, interim HR and structured assessment support

UAE labour and visa handling

Offers, MOHRE or free zone work permits, entry permits, medicals, Emirates ID and onboarding are coordinated by our Dubai team, with source-country clearances handled by licensed partner offices.
