Jobs In Dubai

It’s almost 15 years now and we have approximately 769 recruitment agencies in Dubai. Some are legit and most are not. And some who are legally running a scam in Dubai and getting away with it.

To name a few, lets take a deeper look at foreign agencies “so called” operating in the UAE and local agencies, also the ones that are out there and famous for good/bad reasons. So here is the list out of 769 agencies that are even worth mentioning.

Your feed back about these agencies would be highly appreciated and you can email me at dubaiscams@gmail.com

Here is the list in no particular order:

1) JOBTRACKTelephone #: 009714 397 7751http://www.jobtrackme.com/

Very cheesy website, office in India not really reliable.


2) BAC MIDDLE EAST EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENTTelephone #: 009714 336 0350http://www.bacme.com/

There is no such thing as a ISO 9001 for a recruitment agencies or HR consultancy. Because there is not such thing as an agency with a perfectly working system especiall in Dubai. BAC is know to charge employers a huge commission fee almost 15% of the candidates annual income, which in return is paid by the candidate. Since the candidate things the agency is charging the employer, they are happy in their own delusional word.


3) KERSHAW LEONARDTelephone #: 009714 343 4606http://www.kershawleonard.net/

The name sounds attractive and that is pretty much it. Its not all that bad and you can probably give it a shot and let me know how it goes. I had friends who were happy with them for a bit. They do sound a bit racist at times only if you are an Indian with a Brit accent.


4) CLARENDON PARKERTelephone #: 009714 391 0460http://www.clarendonparker.com/

Good reputation, but placements are really slow and companies usually come to them for U.K. U.S. graduates mainly white people, So if you are of any other color, race or gender, forget about it.


5) Jobs In Dubai Telephone #: 009714 3454008
Fax #: 009714 3454009http://www.jobsindubai.com/

Well I did make the mistake of registering with them. Got a few bad offers and felt really under qualified. This company is completely online and does only something that is known as e-recruitment and they do have a good web presence. But I am not sure about the placement rates. I know many who are registered with them with no particular complaints in general except that they take to long to get you placed. Well you do have to pay for their service in advance and I found that a bit odd. So I called them to figure this out, I was told it was a deposit for the images they would post online that is viewable to the general public. This makes sense now. But if you are in a rush to get employed, probably a bad idea to register with them. Let me know of additional feed backs about this firm.


6) TALENT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCYTelephone #: 009714 335 0999http://www.talentdubai.com/

They are not so talented. Fees are high again, contract commitments are an issue. Employers sometimes do not pay them for a candidate referral. They can hold back your pay in advance if that is the case.


7) S.O.S RECRUITMENT CONSULTANTSTelephone #: 009714 396 5600http://www.sosrecruitment.net/


Big for nothing, it has a bad reputation for not keeping their promises. Candidates usually complain about getting offers and the disappearing act of S.O.S when they are in trouble waiting to hear from employers. Especially when they are called to Dubai on a visit.


8) BAYThttp://www.bayt.com/

A terrible online recruitment that is confused with recruitment and have their hands all over the country with no respect for any candidate’s privacy or income or education. They would treat a CEO with as much respect as they would treat their staff (Bad). X-employees of this company are really frustrated with the companies image and usually do not trust the management. They are also know to charge a huge amount of fee for any additional services they offer, as compared to any other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with their service, though luck, there are 1000 more out here.


9) Grafton GroupGeneral recruitment email: dxbadmin@grafton-group.comDubai recruitment email: dxbdubai@grafton-group.comtel :+971 4 3671939fax : +971 4 367 2798 http://www.grafton-group.com/


Our golden globe nominee for a treacherous service. From 7 candidates that recently contacted me letting me know they were down from the U.K without a hotel stay and money in their pockets because Grafton Group sent them a job offer for a bogus company that decided not to hire them after the joined work. BAD BAD BAD. Do not waste your time on this one for sure. Or travel without getting your facts right. I classify this agency as a Gold Digger, except for its your pockets in the end.
