Staff outsourcing lets you bring people on board without adding headcount to your own licence. STW becomes the legal employer: we sponsor the visa, sign the MOHRE contract, run payroll through the Wage Protection System and manage leave, medical insurance and end-of-service benefits. You manage the work.
It is the fastest way to scale a team for a project, cover a hiring freeze, or test a role before committing to a permanent hire. It also suits international companies that need staff in the UAE before their own entity is ready.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the legal employer of outsourced staff?
STW is the legal employer and visa sponsor. Staff work under your supervision at your location, but their contract, payroll and government obligations sit with us.
What is the minimum contract period?
Most clients choose 6, 12 or 24 months. Shorter project-based terms are possible; ask us about the cost difference.
Can we transfer our existing employees to STW sponsorship?
Yes. We handle the cancellation from your licence and the new visa under ours, with no gap in the employee's status.
Can we hire an outsourced employee permanently later?
Yes. After the agreed period you can transfer the employee to your own licence. The terms are set out in the proposal.
