Every company's path to hiring in the UAE looks a little different. Aidanta typically works with companies in one of a few situations.
The areas Aidanta helps you work through — not legal advice.
A quick operational overview of what setting up a hire in the UAE typically involves — not legal advice, just the areas Aidanta helps you work through together.
A formal agreement matching the format you choose — an employment contract, or a service agreement for a contractor.
Identity, qualification, and role-specific documents, confirmed for your particular case before setup starts.
Regular salary or contractor fee payments, calculated and processed on an agreed schedule.
Statutory contributions and other required payments depend on the selected format and the specialist's circumstances. The exact setup is confirmed before work begins.
Any visa, work authorization, or permit requirements are checked for the specific role and candidate before the setup begins.
Day-to-day administration continues for as long as the engagement stays active.
