# Top 50 recruitment and staffing agencies in the Middle East

Tamtam tracks 83 recruitment and staffing agencies headquartered in the Middle East. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Transguard Group, SRG and Dulsco Group. Their median headcount is 711. Half of them were founded in 2003 or later. The most common headquarters are Dubai (10), Istanbul (5) and Abu Dhabi (3).

These Middle Eastern companies specialize in recruitment and staffing, with several large diversified groups and some younger firms focused on technology. They provide flexible workforce solutions, HR services, and online employment platforms. Many also offer broader services like facilities management, business process outsourcing, and consulting.

Key players include Transguard Group, which offers staffing across various sectors in the UAE, and Dulsco Group, providing workforce management and environmental solutions. Kariyer.net and Bayt.com operate as major online job platforms. AssisTT, a Türk Telekom subsidiary, specializes in communication center solutions. A notable pattern is the strong presence of companies headquartered in Dubai and Istanbul, indicating these cities as major hubs for the sector.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
