Best recruitment companies in Egypt
Egypt's strength is graduate volume and computer-science depth in Cairo, so the differentiator between agencies is filtering, not sourcing.

03Volume is not the problem — filtering is
Egyptian job posts attract very high application volume, which means an agency that measures itself on CVs sent is actively wasting your time. Ask how many candidates they reject per shortlist and against what scorecard.
- Rejection ratio and scorecard used, not CVs delivered
- English-proficiency assessment method for client-facing roles
- Time-zone overlap planning for US and EU teams
- Arabic-language contracting and social insurance registration
04Compliance basics
Employment contracts must be issued in Arabic to be enforceable, and both employer and employee owe social insurance contributions on registered wages. An EOR handles the registration, the Arabic contract and the monthly remittance.
Frequently asked
Can I employ in Egypt without a local entity?+
Yes. CareerBuddy's Egyptian Employer of Record issues the compliant Arabic contract, registers the employee for social insurance and runs local payroll, from $399 per employee per month.
What time-zone overlap does Egypt give?+
Cairo gives a full working-day overlap with Europe and a substantial morning overlap with US East Coast teams, which is why it is popular for support and platform roles.
