Local expertise. Professional workforce solutions.
Smooth Professional helps businesses employ, onboard and manage professional talent in the UAE through reliable Employer of Record (EOR) solutions. Part of Smooth Group, we are backed by more than 20 years of experience in the UAE HR industry. This gives us a strong understanding of the local employment environment and the practical realities businesses face when building and managing teams in the UAE.
Whether an international company is entering the UAE, expanding its regional presence or an established business needs a more flexible way to manage its workforce, Smooth Professional provides the local support to make employment simpler.
Our core service is Employer of Record, supported by professional recruitment and HR solutions when required.
Employer of Record in the UAE
Employ professionals in the UAE, without unnecessary complexity.
Smooth Professional’s Employer of Record services enable eligible businesses to employ professionals in the UAE without having to immediately establish their own local entity, subject to applicable UAE requirements. Under an EOR arrangement, Smooth Professional manages the agreed employment administration while the client continues to direct the employee’s day-to-day responsibilities, objectives and performance.
Our EOR support can include employment contracts, onboarding, work permit and visa coordination, payroll administration, employee documentation, leave administration and offboarding support. With an experienced team on the ground in the UAE, we help businesses reduce employment complexity and build their workforce with greater confidence.

Smooth Professional can support the recruitment process alongside EOR, giving businesses the convenience of finding and employing professional talent through one workforce partner. Our recruitment team supports professional and white-collar hiring through candidate sourcing, screening, interview coordination and hiring assistance based on each organisation’s requirements.

Our role is to reduce administrative burden while giving businesses dependable local support for their UAE workforce.
