Why UAE businesses choose thisThe traditional model creates friction.
The traditional model creates friction.
This removes it.
In the UAE you can normally only work for the company that sponsors your visa. Our special on-demand labour supply licence changes that equation.
No visa quota or PRO burden
We use our own labour quota. You do not need available visa slots, a PRO, or the administrative capacity to process work permits, Emirates IDs, medicals or cancellations.
Full compliance, zero guesswork
Every contract, payroll run, WPS file and statutory obligation is handled by a licensed provider that lives and breathes UAE labour law every day.
You set the benefits
Because they are not your direct employees, you are not forced into standard leave policies or benefit packages. You can design the package that fits the role and commercial reality.
Augment, don’t replace
Most clients keep their core team on direct employment and use EOR for specific roles, projects, new market testing or surge capacity. Mix and match as needed.
Speed without entity setup
Multinationals and free-zone companies can put people on the ground without opening a mainland entity or waiting for new labour quotas.
The foundation of our EOR serviceA rare MOHRE Temporary Employment
A rare MOHRE Temporary Employment
& Outsourcing licence
We do not operate on a simple mediation or recruitment licence. Nathan HR holds the full Temporary Employment & Outsourcing (On-Demand Labour Supply) licence in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It is the only category that allows us to employ workers on our own visa and deploy them to you.
Dubai
Dynamic Employment Services LLC
Our Dubai mainland entity holds the full MOHRE Temporary Employment & Outsourcing licence, enabling visa sponsorship and deployment across the emirate.
Abu Dhabi
Executive Employment Services LLC
Our Abu Dhabi entity holds the equivalent licence plus oil & gas services activity, which enables CICPA clearance for staff requiring access to critical national infrastructure.
AED 1,000,000 bank guarantee
MOHRE requires a minimum AED 1 million guarantee for this licence category, locked for the life of the licence. Mediation licences need only AED 300,000.
We are the legal employer
Unlike mediation agencies, we sponsor the worker on our own quota. The employment relationship sits with us, creating the legal shield that protects your company.
Oil & gas + CICPA ready
Oil & gas activity on our Abu Dhabi licence enables CICPA security passes for personnel needing access to critical infrastructure sites.
Practical use casesNot for everyone.
Not for everyone.
Perfect for these situations.
This service is rarely used for an entire workforce. It shines when you need flexibility, speed or risk isolation around specific roles or projects.
- Testing a new market or function before committing to permanent headcount
- Adding specialists or managers while your own visa quota is full
- Running project-based or fixed-term teams without long-term employment risk
- Keeping sensitive or high-turnover roles off your direct employment books
- Supporting multinationals that do not yet have (or want) a local entity
UAE companies
Augment your existing team with additional full-time or project staff without consuming your labour quota or exposing the company to extra employment liability.
Multinationals
Establish or expand a presence in Dubai or Abu Dhabi without incorporating a local entity. Hire the people you need under our licence.
Scale-ups & projects
Bring on sales teams, delivery specialists or temporary leadership for 6–24 months with clean offboarding when the project ends.
Hybrid workforce
Keep your core employees on your own visas and place selected roles (or entire departments) under EOR for flexibility and risk management.
Clear division of responsibilityWe take the employment risk.

Everything you need to know
It is a special licence issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) that allows a company to employ individuals on its own visa quota and legally deploy them to work for third-party clients under the client’s day-to-day direction. This is the legal foundation of our EOR service in the UAE.
No. Because Nathan HR is the legal employer, employment-related claims (unpaid wages, end-of-service, unfair dismissal, etc.) are directed at us, not at the client company. This legal separation is one of the core reasons companies use the service.
Yes. You set the tasks, working methods, performance standards and reporting lines. We only handle the employment relationship, visa and compliance side.
Absolutely, and that is the most common model. Many clients keep their core team on direct employment and place selected roles, project teams or new-market hires under EOR. You can mix the two freely.
Because the employee is not on your books, you are not forced into a rigid benefits structure. You can define the package (or keep it lean) according to the commercial needs of the role. We administer whatever is agreed.
Once the candidate is identified and documentation is complete, we can typically process the visa and onboarding in a matter of days to a couple of weeks, depending on nationality and current MOHRE processing times. Existing UAE residents can often move even faster.
Yes. Our licence covers deployment across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates). We also support EOR arrangements in other GCC markets through our regional capabilities.
