To hire manpower in Dubai, most businesses work with a licensed manpower supply company that recruits, documents and supplies workers under a MOHRE permit — rather than sponsoring each worker directly. This is faster, lower-risk, and keeps compliance on the supplier.
Direct hire vs. manpower supply
With direct hire, your company sponsors the visa and employs the worker on your books. With manpower supply, a licensed agency employs the workers and supplies them to you for a monthly rate. Supply is preferred for variable, project-based or short-term needs because it removes visa, payroll and end-of-service burdens from your business.
What compliance requires
In the UAE, manpower supply is regulated. A supplier must hold a DED trade licence with the correct activity and a permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Ask any supplier to confirm both before you sign — one cannot substitute for the other.
What it costs
Pricing depends on skill level, sector, contract length and headcount. Reputable suppliers quote a transparent monthly rate per worker and issue compliant tax invoices. Be wary of quotes that seem far below market — they often signal cut corners on documentation or worker welfare.
How to choose a partner
Look for verifiable licences, a real recruitment pipeline (not just brokered labour), the ability to trade-test and screen workers, and — ideally — on-site management. Moon Treasure recruits directly from Nepal and can also manage deployed teams through its Dubai facilities-management division, giving you a single accountable partner from recruitment to on-site work.
