Domestic Worker Agencies and Hiring Support in the UAE

Find a Domestic Worker Agency in the UAE

In the UAE, families should use approved or licensed domestic worker recruitment channels when hiring household workers, nannies, cooks, drivers or caregivers. This page helps employers compare agencies and service providers that understand UAE recruitment, visa and documentation expectations.

Domestic worker hiring can involve several practical steps, including service packages, contract terms, medical checks, visa-related procedures and worker arrival arrangements. A reliable agency should explain what is included, what is not included and how the process protects both the employer and the worker.

What can an agency support?

Agencies may help with candidate matching, recruitment packages, documentation, onboarding and practical guidance before the worker starts. Always confirm whether the provider is approved or authorised and avoid unlicensed intermediaries.

How to choose a reliable provider

Ask for transparent pricing, written terms, clear timelines and after-service support. Check how replacement or refund policies work and whether the agency explains employer responsibilities clearly.
