Recruitment agency fees in Dubai vary by structure and target employment level: For candidates (job seekers): 1) Most established agencies don't charge candidates directly as they receive payment from employers; 2) Be cautious of agencies requesting upfront payments for "CV distribution" or "registration fees" as legitimate agencies typically don't charge candidates; 3) Some exceptions exist for specialized executive search firms which may charge for career counseling or CV preparation as separate services. For employers: 1) Contingency recruitment (payment upon successful hire) typically costs 5-20% of annual salary (15% average for mid-level, 20%+ for specialized roles); 2) Retained search (exclusive agreement with upfront payment) typically costs 25-35% of annual salary for executive positions; 3) Contract staffing fees range from 10-20% markup on the employee's salary; 4) Outsourced recruitment process (RPO) costs vary based on hiring volume. When using recruitment agencies, verify their MOHRE license, check reviews, confirm fee structures in writing, and clarify what services are included (screening, interviews, reference checks, etc.).
