An employer of record is not only for companies without a UAE entity. Businesses use MGCG when their visa quota is full, when a license is still being approved, when a hire is urgent, or when they want to reduce internal HR workload. Whatever the reason, the objective is the same, getting the right person working quickly and compliantly.

How We Can Help You Hire in the UAE
-
No Upfront Cash Deposit
Unlike EOR models that require clients to pre-fund several months of employment costs before onboarding, MGCG does not require an upfront cash deposit. This helps clients preserve working capital and begin the onboarding process faster.
-
UAE Employment Compliance Managed for You
Employment documentation, payroll administration, visa processes, Emirates ID coordination and end-of-service gratuity requirements are managed as part of the EOR service.
You retain day-to-day operational control over the role, responsibilities and work performed. MGCG manages the employment administration, payroll and compliance requirements associated with the engagement.

One Partner for Every Hiring Need
Alongside employer of record, MGCG provides contract staffing, permanent placement, executive search and HR consulting services across the Middle East. As your team grows, you can scale through a single provider who already knows your business.
