Who we are
HR support built for how business really works in the UAE.

Clients come to us to hire, to hand over their HR operations, or to put an experienced HR leader on their management team. Many use all three as they grow.

Frequently asked questions
HR consultancy in the UAE: your questions, answered.
What an HR consultancy does, what it costs and how long things take. If your question is not here, ask us directly.
In the UAE, an HR consulting firm typically takes care of hiring, payroll and MOHRE/WPS compliance, and senior HR guidance — so a business doesn’t need to build its own HR department. That’s exactly what ABS HR Consultancy does, under one team.
Fractional HR usually costs a small percentage of what a full-time CHRO would earn, since you’re only paying for a set number of days each month. We agree a fixed AED fee upfront, based on how many days you actually need.
Emiratisation is a UAE government requirement for larger private companies to employ a set quota of Emirati nationals. We help by pinpointing which roles suit Emiratisation, sourcing qualified UAE national candidates, and keeping your hiring on track with MOHRE targets.
From brief to offer acceptance, hiring in the UAE usually takes four to six weeks — you’ll see your first shortlist within 5–7 business days, then interviews, an offer, and visa/labour card processing.
Yes — WPS-compliant payroll and MOHRE documentation (labour contracts, visas, labour cards) are all part of our End-to-End HR Solutions service.
Recruitment fills one specific open role. Fractional HR is different — it’s ongoing, part-time HR leadership covering strategy, policy and people decisions over the long run. A lot of our clients start with recruitment, then move into fractional HR as they grow.
