Use permanent recruitment when you have a UAE licence and visa quota and want the person on your own payroll. Use employee outsourcing when you want the people without the visa quota or HR administration. Use EOR when you have already chosen someone but have no UAE entity to employ them.
Yes. Outsourced and EOR employees can transfer to your own licence once you have the entity and quota in place, subject to notice and the usual MOHRE visa-transfer process. Many clients start with outsourcing and move staff across as they grow.
Under permanent recruitment, you are: ACOUP stops at the offer and onboarding. Under employee outsourcing and EOR, ACOUP is the legal employer, holds the contract and visa, and pays the salary through WPS while the employee works under your direction.
Timelines depend on the role, the candidate’s notice period and visa status. Recruitment starts with a briefing and a shortlist; onboarding an existing candidate through EOR is usually the fastest route because no vacancy has to be filled first.
Corporate and commercial roles such as finance, HR, sales, IT, administration and government relations, along with operational and support roles, across the UAE. Volume and specialist requirements are scoped before we start.
Outsourced and EOR employees receive UAE Labour Law entitlements — contract, leave, medical insurance, end-of-service gratuity and WPS salary payments — administered by ACOUP. Any additional benefits you want to provide are agreed in the service contract.
Yes. Temporary and contract staff are employed on ACOUP’s licence and payroll for the length of the assignment, which is the employee outsourcing model. Permanent hires can join your own payroll through permanent recruitment instead.
