The company conducts interviews and selects the best candidate for the job, who then becomes an employee of the company.
Outsourcing: Outsourcing is the process of contracting a third-party company to perform certain tasks or services for the company. The third-party company is responsible for recruiting and managing its employees to carry out the contracted tasks or services. Outsourcing is usually done to reduce costs and improve efficiency, as the third-party company is responsible for all the administrative tasks related to employee recruitment, training, and management.

The processing time for an Employment Visa in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of visa, the sponsoring company, and the individual’s nationality.
Generally, it takes around 6-14 working days to process an Employment Visa in the UAE. The process involves several steps, including obtaining an entry permit or approval from the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), obtaining a medical fitness certificate, and obtaining a residency permit (also known as a Emirates ID card).
